Red
Embracing Love and Longing: 'Red' by Christian Larsson Unveiled
Lyrics
I'm going to where the sun burns
Expresses a desire to go to a place where the sun is intense.
And the heat stays in command
Describes the authority or dominance of the heat in this place.
Come and lay by my side
Invitation to someone to join and be close.
Right here
Emphasis on the immediacy or proximity of the invitation.
To where the river turns to dust
Implies a location where nature is harsh and godly presence is patient.
And god is never rushed
Highlights the patience of divinity in this place.
Come and lay by my side
Reiteration of the invitation to be close.
Right here
Emphasizes the immediacy or proximity of the invitation once again.
Red, I love you and the world
Expresses love towards someone named "Red" and the world.
It seemed to make sense
Suggests a previous moment of clarity or understanding.
When Brother Santo said
Refers to Brother Santo imparting advice or guidance.
One more run be enough
One more attempt or opportunity is believed to be sufficient.
Going to be enough
Reiteration that this attempt will be adequate.
Money for everything
Money is considered necessary for everything in this context.
Silver toed boots and kerosene
References specific items bought, indicating a certain lifestyle.
Come and lay by my side
Repeated invitation to be close.
Right here
Emphasizes the immediacy or proximity of the invitation once again.
Red, I love you and the world
Reaffirms love towards "Red" and the world.
Well the buzzing, the stink
Describes discomfort due to unpleasant sensations (buzzing, stink, choking).
And the choking
Continuation of discomfort and intolerable conditions.
I can't stay no more
Expresses a decision to leave or depart due to the unpleasantness.
Come and lay by my side
Reiteration of the invitation to be close despite discomfort.
Right here
Emphasizes the immediacy or proximity of the invitation despite discomfort.
Red, I need you and the world
Expresses a need for "Red" and the world.
When I see you behind the glass
Seeing "Red" behind glass suggests a separation or barrier.
I forget that I'm in the cage
Forgetting the constraints or limitations when seeing "Red."
They bring me to Sunday mass
Attending Sunday mass, a religious reference, without pacifying inner anger.
But it never wiped the rage
Despite attending mass, anger or frustration remains.
Red, I love you and the world
Repeated expression of love towards "Red" and the world.
Seven months gone and seven years to go
Seven months have passed with seven more anticipated, indicating a time frame.
Red, I can't stay no more
Expresses an inability to stay longer, a need to leave.
Come and lay by my side
Reiteration of the invitation to be close despite the need to depart.
Right here
Emphasizes the immediacy or proximity of the invitation despite the need to leave.
Red, I love you and the world
Reaffirmation of love towards "Red" and the world.
Red, I need you and the world
Reaffirmation of the need for "Red" and the world.
