Don't Doubt
Embracing Light: Blind Pilot's Anthem against Winter Darkness
Lyrics
Now you don't have a word to call this kind of a year
Reflecting on a challenging year without a suitable word to describe it.
That made you kneel and beg it to turn you right
Expressing a plea for the difficult year to take a positive turn.
Two dead birds underneath the headlights
Describing two deceased birds beneath car headlights.
Every sound they ever made to call out they are alive
Recalling the sounds the birds made in an attempt to signal life.
Every piece of me that breaks, trying to keep from the side of doubt
Mentioning personal struggles and the effort to avoid succumbing to doubt.
Don't you doubt
An emphatic encouragement to avoid doubting oneself.
Everybody's seen some winter, don't you take the dark way out
Advising against choosing a negative path, especially in challenging times.
Don't you doubt
Reiterating the importance of not doubting and facing difficulties head-on.
Even your breath is breathing for another one
Highlighting the interconnectedness of individuals and their shared experiences.
Don't you just take the dark way out
Discouraging the choice of a pessimistic or dark path.
Thin wind ringing in the silver tines
Describing a subtle wind sound through silver tines.
Yeah, it took you by the throat but it wasn't the killing kind
Narrating an experience where a challenging situation didn't lead to destruction.
And now you don't tell it like you used to
Noting a change in how the experience is communicated or expressed.
Every day left in the dark is going to come back to you
Emphasizing the lasting impact of days spent in darkness.
Every hope left in your heart is waiting on what you'll do with doubt
Stressing the significance of choices in dealing with doubt.
Don't you doubt
Repeating the encouragement to avoid doubting oneself or others.
Everybody's seen some winter, don't you take the dark way out
Reiterating the idea of facing challenges without succumbing to darkness.
Don't you doubt
Encouraging resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.
Even your blood is beating for another one
Highlighting the shared struggle, even in one's blood or essence.
Don't you just take the dark way out
Advising against choosing a negative or dark path in difficult times.
Don't you doubt
Repeating the call to avoid doubt despite challenging circumstances.
The reasons are all dead and they're growing in the ground
Reflecting on the futility of reasons and their burial in the ground.
So why does it give? Why the take? Why the bitter kiss?
Pondering on questions related to life's complexities and contradictions.
Why the me? Why the anything? Just be the man
Encouraging a mindset of embracing one's identity, whether man, child, or cold midnight.
Be the child, be the cold midnight soaking the bones of this town
Emphasizing the impact of time on the town and the tangible elements of existence.
In the breath, in the beak, in the honey taken from every green thing giving sweet
Highlighting the essence found in natural elements taken from the environment.
In the call, in the pull, in the want and want, in the sound even your own body knows
Stressing the importance of desire and the intrinsic knowledge within one's body.
All there is, seed and shell, your hands are lined with all that they haven't held
Summarizing life as a combination of potential (seed) and experiences (shell).
