Open Arms
Embracing Life's Trials: Brian Kennedy's Open Arms Message
Lyrics
I come to your big door, only to leave as poor
I approach a significant opportunity or entrance (big door) with the hope of gaining wealth but end up departing with little or no resources.
Don't the reasons always mean to be pure to another
The motives or justifications for actions are intended to be pure or sincere when considered from the perspective of another person.
When we are not so understood, will I find something good
In situations where I am not well understood, is there a possibility of discovering something positive or beneficial?
The more things lead to harm with open arms
Engaging with various aspects of life may lead to harm, yet I embrace them with open arms.
That take the need away
This acceptance of potentially harmful elements somehow diminishes the sense of need.
Love came to ease and tame all that had seeded shame
Love arrives to soothe and control the shame that has taken root. The relief I experience seems fragile and difficult to define, persistently requiring.
My relieving seems to frail to be named, ever needing
When not fully understood, there is a continuous need for relief and comfort, suggesting a vulnerability or inadequacy.
When we are not so understood, will I find something good
In situations where understanding is lacking, is there a potential for discovering something positive or beneficial?
More things lead to harm with open arms
Similar to line 4, engaging with various aspects of life may lead to harm, yet I embrace them with open arms.
That take the need away
This acceptance of potentially harmful elements somehow diminishes the sense of need.
Don't the reasons always mean to be pure to another
Reiteration of the idea that motives or justifications for actions are intended to be pure or sincere when considered from the perspective of another person.
But I don't feel many
Despite the stated intentions, there is a lack of genuine feelings or experiences.
When we are not so understood will I find something good
In situations where I am not well understood, is there a possibility of discovering something positive or beneficial?
More things lead to harm with open arms
Similar to lines 4 and 10, engaging with various aspects of life may lead to harm, yet I embrace them with open arms.
That take the need away
This acceptance of potentially harmful elements somehow diminishes the sense of need.
Open your arms
An invitation or plea to open one's arms, suggesting a willingness to accept and embrace.
Open your arms
A repetition of the plea to open one's arms, emphasizing the desire for acceptance.
