Comfort Song
Cracked Open: Embracing Truth and Love in 'Comfort Song'
Lyrics
You still exist
You, as a presence or influence, continue to exist.
When I'm not around
Even in your absence, your impact is felt.
You'll get scared when you sneeze
There's a vulnerability in unexpected moments, like sneezing, that may make you anxious.
Your hair will be one with a breeze
Your essence or identity is fluid, like hair in the wind.
Blowing around
Symbolizing a dynamic and ever-changing presence.
There's air between us
Despite proximity, there's still a distance or separation.
Burrow into the ground
Suggesting a desire to connect more deeply, perhaps by going beneath surface-level interactions.
You'll be the song falling out of
Your essence is compared to a song, a beautiful expression, emerging unexpectedly.
The hummingbirds closed mouth
Highlighting the unexpected nature of emotional expressions, akin to a hummingbird opening its beak.
I can tell the truth
Expressing a newfound ability to be truthful.
Now it's something I need
Truth has become a necessity in the speaker's life.
And now I know why
Understanding the reason behind the fear of honesty.
Honesty scared me
The admission that honesty used to evoke fear.
I've never loved like that
Describing a unique and intense experience of love.
There's no mistakes
Asserting the absence of errors or deliberate deception.
Or way to mislead
No opportunities to mislead or create confusion.
No branches that weren't meant to fall
Metaphorically, no unexpected or unintended separations.
Off of their trees
Nothing detaching from its natural course or purpose.
Now I believe
Having faith or trust in something, possibly a relationship.
See the stems meet the leaves
Observing the unity and harmony between different elements.
In fragments, in love
Experiencing love in fragments, suggesting it's intricate and complex.
You cracked me open
A metaphorical opening up emotionally.
And I can't close back up
A sense of vulnerability and an inability to revert to a previous state.
I understand comfort
Comprehending the concept of comfort, likely in the context of a relationship.
And I know that you're right
Acknowledging the correctness or validity of the other person's perspective.
And that when I wake up
Anticipating the continued presence and support upon waking up.
You will still be here
Assurance that the comforting presence persists, even in ordinary moments.
In the dull morning light
In the ordinary morning light, the presence remains constant.
