Rope Swings and Avalanches
Navigating Love's Avalanche: Catie Curtis's Poetic Reflection
Lyrics
On rope swings and avalanches
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of life represented by "rope swings and avalanches."
As with love we get our chances
Love offers opportunities, but they come with uncertainties and risks.
And we’ve got to let go
Emphasizing the importance of letting go in the face of life's challenges.
There’s a deeper well, but we’re not drinking from it
Suggesting a potential source of deeper fulfillment, not currently explored or tapped into.
And it hurts like hell to just be thinking of it
Expressing the emotional pain associated with contemplating unexplored possibilities.
I’ve got to let go, time to let go, you know
Reiterating the need to let go, acknowledging the difficulty but asserting the necessity.
They say love is a gift and so we help ourselves
Describing love as a gift, but questioning the self-serving nature of taking advantage of it.
I don’t know why
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons behind the idea that love is a gift.
They say if its love you can work it out
Challenging the notion that love always allows for resolution of problems.
That’s the cruelest lie
Labeling the belief that love can solve everything as a cruel deception.
Whispers and confessions
Highlighting the significance of intimate communication and sharing secrets in relationships.
These are the lovers’ obsessions
Describing whispers and confessions as common preoccupations for lovers.
I’ve got to let go
Reiterating the necessity of letting go, even in the face of intimate revelations.
But you can still come to me, if you still need it
Offering continued emotional support while emphasizing a shift away from secrecy.
But not in confidence, not in secret
Rejecting the idea of maintaining confidence and secrecy in the relationship.
I’ve got to let go, time to let go, you know
Emphasizing the ongoing need to let go, acknowledging the difficulty but asserting the necessity.
They say love is a gift and so we help ourselves
Repeating the idea that love is a gift, but questioning the self-serving nature of taking advantage of it.
I don’t know why
Expressing uncertainty about the reasons behind the idea that love is a gift.
They say if its love you can work it out
Challenging the notion that love always allows for resolution of problems.
That’s the cruelest lie
Labeling the belief that love can solve everything as a cruel deception.
On rope swings and avalanches
Repeating the metaphor of "rope swings and avalanches" in the context of the speaker's love.
As with you my love, we took our chances
Acknowledging the risks taken in the speaker's love, emphasizing the need to let go.
Now we’ve got to let go, time to let go, to let go, got to let go
Affirming the imperative to let go, repeating the idea for emphasis.
You know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the necessity to let go in the context of the speaker's love.
