Swing
Swinging Through Life's Shadows
Lyrics
You swing from the branches
You navigate through challenges and uncertainties.
Run through your house
You move swiftly within your personal space.
I can barely keep up
I struggle to keep pace with your actions.
cs the darkness surrounds you
The obscurity surrounds you, indicating difficulties.
Friend of mine, where do you run to now?
As a friend, where do you seek solace or refuge?
Can I try to bring you back somehow?
Can I attempt to bring you back from your challenges?
cre you damaged just like me?
Are you also wounded or hurt like me?
I see right through your scheme
I see through any deceptive intentions or plans you might have.
Like a game of hide and seek
Comparing the situation to a game, akin to hide and seek.
If I find you will you find me?
If I find you, will you reciprocate and find me?
I'm a gull with a broken wing
Using the metaphor of a seagull with a broken wing, acknowledging personal flaws or shortcomings.
Forgive me for saying those things
Apologizing for expressing certain thoughts or feelings.
Fall away with my broken dreams
Letting go of aspirations or desires that didn't materialize.
Do you still think I'm in too deep?
Questioning if the depth of emotions is still acknowledged.
You swing from the branches
Repetition of the earlier metaphor, emphasizing the struggles.
Run through your house
Reiteration of swift movement within personal space.
I can barely keep up
Continued struggle to keep up in challenging situations.
cs the darkness surrounds you
Re-emphasizing challenges and difficulties represented by darkness.
Friend of mine where do you run to now?
Repeating the inquiry about where solace is sought.
Can I try to bring you back somehow?
Reiterating the desire to assist in overcoming challenges.
You fall through the crevice
Symbolic fall through a gap, reaching for unreachable goals.
Reach for the sky
Striving for unreachable aspirations.
I can barely hold on
Struggling to maintain stability in challenging situations.
cs you hang off the side
Visualizing the precariousness of the situation.
It's funny how things pan out sometimes
Reflecting on the unpredictability of life's outcomes.
I'll keep hangin' on the other side of life
Determined to endure hardships on the journey of life.
When I swing high
Metaphorically swinging high but eventually facing reality.
I hit the ground on my own two feet
Returning to reality, standing on one's own feet.
Friend of mine, how do you swim so deep?
Questioning how someone can navigate emotional depths.
Measure my dive as I follow your lead
Comparing personal actions to someone else's lead.
You swing from the branches
Reiteration of the challenges and struggles.
Run through your house
Repeating the concept of swift movement within personal space.
I can barely keep up
Continued struggle to keep pace in challenging circumstances.
cs the darkness surrounds you
Emphasizing the engulfing nature of difficulties.
Friend of mine where do you run to now?
Repeating the inquiry about seeking refuge.
Can I try to bring you back somehow?
Reiterating the desire to provide assistance.
You fall through the crevice
Revisiting the symbolic fall and reaching for unattainable goals.
Reach for the sky
Continuing to strive for unattainable aspirations.
I can barely hold on
Struggling to maintain stability in challenging situations.
cs you hang off the side
Reiterating the precariousness of the situation.
It's funny how things pan out sometimes
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of life's outcomes.
I'll keep hangin' on the other side of life
Determined to endure hardships on the journey of life.
