Hanging Waves
Navigating Shadows: Christian Cohle's Poetic Journey in Hanging Waves
Lyrics
There are snakes all around me
Feeling surrounded by deceitful or dangerous individuals symbolized as "snakes."
If I break they may find me
Fear of consequences if the speaker breaks or gives in to pressure.
Walking along glass
Metaphorically walking on fragile ground, facing vulnerability or precarious situations.
Walking along glass
-Hanging Waves in worn in shoes
Reference to challenges and struggles ("Hanging Waves") while recognizing potential losses.
I know what I have to loose
-But I wish it was easier
Expressing a desire for a less challenging or burdensome situation.
clleyways in leather boots
Navigating through difficulties represented by "alleys" while absorbing or confronting emotional challenges.
Filling up my lungs in blue
-Oh I wish it was easier
Reiteration of the wish for an easier path, emphasizing the current complexity.
In the tall grass you can't see
Struggling in an obscured or unclear environment ("tall grass") where reflections ("mirror") offer no guidance, and challenges persist.
Like a mirror is empty
-Keeps brushing along me
-In the shadows with no feet
-In the tall grass you can't see
Continuation of the struggle in an unclear setting, referencing dreams, and a transitional state ("bridge of in between").
Like a mirror is empty
-In the banquet of your dream
-On the bridge of in between
-I'm walking along glass
Repetition of walking on fragile ground, reinforcing a sense of vulnerability.
Hanging Waves in worn in shoes
Recurrence of challenges ("Hanging Waves") with an acknowledgment of potential losses.
I know what I have to loose
-But I wish it was easier
Reiterating the desire for a less challenging or burdensome situation.
clleyways in leather boots
Continued navigation through difficulties with an emphasis on emotional challenges.
Filling up my lungs in blue
-Oh I wish it was easier
Reiteration of the wish for an easier path, emphasizing the ongoing complexity.
(I wish it easier)
Final expression of the desire for an easier situation, emphasizing the emotional weight of the current circumstances.
(oh I wish it was easier)
