Returning
Journey of Resilience: Cinder Well's 'Returning' Unveiled
Lyrics
Leather boots, heavy armor
Wearing tough and protective clothing, possibly symbolizing resilience or preparation for challenges.
Like brambles, like dust
Comparable to thorny obstacles and airborne particles, suggesting difficulties and fleeting elements.
One of these days you’ll discover your own morning sun
Anticipation of discovering a personal source of renewal or positivity in the future.
Finding feet bare in softer ground
Finding comfort or connection in a gentler and more nurturing environment.
Finding depth in hollow earth
Discovering meaning or significance in the emptiness or unknown aspects of life.
The returning takes its own time
The process of returning has its own pace and cannot be rushed.
Edge of the road with wind in your hair
Being at a crossroads with the wind symbolizing change, uncertainty, or freedom.
In goats’ yellow eyes, I saw us there
Recognition of shared experiences and connection in the eyes of animals.
Fallen breaths speaking lowly in damper skies
Experiencing moments of quiet communication in challenging or damp conditions.
My hands slowly softening your lines
Gently and gradually easing the burdens or difficulties represented by "lines."
The returning takes its own time
The return journey has its own natural and unhurried rhythm.
Went on a walk with the wrong expectations
Going on a journey with misguided expectations, possibly leading to disappointment.
Seeking a still life in a town that once was
Searching for a sense of permanence or stability in a place that has undergone significant change.
Streets are silent, like they were all last year
Describing a quiet and still atmosphere reminiscent of the past.
Time has taken its toll on it
Acknowledging the impact of time on the environment, perhaps with a sense of decay or transformation.
You may sense my lonesome shadow
Noting the presence of one's loneliness, possibly cast as a shadow.
Distance between us has carved a hollow
Emphasizing the distance and emptiness created by time, resulting in a hollow feeling.
Winding stillness, echo chamber
Describing a quiet and reverberating stillness, suggesting isolation or introspection.
Time has taken its toll on me
Personal acknowledgment of the impact of time on oneself, perhaps implying personal growth or change.
The returning takes its own time
Reiterating that the process of returning has its own natural and unhurried pace.
