The Three of Us in the Dark
In the Shadows of Emotions: A Triad's Dance
Lyrics
The three of us in the dark
The three individuals are in a situation of uncertainty or obscurity.
Where do I resist
Expressing a sense of internal conflict or questioning where resistance is applied.
One has to go
One person must leave or be excluded from the situation.
One is just a guest
One person is merely a visitor or temporary presence.
One is all a fire
One person is passionate or intense.
One is all a spark
One person is just a small source of ignition or inspiration.
But here I am with the two of you
The singer finds themselves in the company of the other two individuals in the darkness.
The three of us in the dark
Reiteration of the three individuals being together in the dark.
I didn't hear you walk in the door
The singer was unaware of someone's arrival.
You'd called to me years ago
A reference to a past call or communication from years ago.
I had heard
The singer recalls having heard the person's voice previously.
Your voice before
One person is intense or passionate.
One is all a fire
Repetition of the contrasting qualities of the two individuals.
One is all a spark
-But here I am with the two of you
The singer finds themselves with both individuals despite their differences.
The three of us in the dark
Reiteration of the three individuals being together in the dark.
The eerie sound of one lone fiddle
Describing a melancholic or eerie musical accompaniment with a lone fiddle.
The wind is finding the tune
The wind is creating a musical melody.
And you lying here in the middle
The person lying in the middle is depicted as innocent, like the moon.
As innocent as the moon
Individuals are in intimate embraces hidden from divine scrutiny.
Entangled in embraces that God will never see
Raising the question of whether the person lying there truly knows the singer.
Do you know me
Direct inquiry about recognition or understanding.
Who am I talking about
A sense of confusion about the identities of the individuals being discussed.
It all gets so confused
The situation becomes perplexing or muddled.
And what would I do
The singer contemplates the hypothetical scenario of having to make a choice.
If I had to choose
Reflecting on the difficulty of making a decision between the contrasting individuals.
One is all a fire
One person is passionate or intense.
One is all a spark
One person is just a small source of ignition or inspiration.
And here I am with the two of you
The singer finds themselves with both individuals despite their differences.
The three of us in the dark
Reiteration of the three individuals being together in the dark.
