Cast Away
Unraveling Shadows: Finding Love Amidst Life's Play
Lyrics
Cast away the shadows of your heart
Encouragement to dispel the darkness within one's heart.
If you're always aiming for a better part
Suggests a constant pursuit of improvement and a better life.
In this play that punctuates your life, your goals
Refers to life as a play with goals, implying a significant journey.
You think you know, you're down below
Feeling knowledgeable but in a low or negative state.
And you've kept your distances from me
Acknowledging emotional distance maintained by the person.
Carried on with all your fears that set you free
Continuing with fears that provide a false sense of freedom.
But at night you change into the darkest swan
Symbolic transformation into a dark swan, possibly representing inner struggles.
With all its fears, you've come undone
Consequences of succumbing to fears and unraveling emotionally.
And I don't know if you've been hurt before
Uncertainty about past emotional wounds of the person.
And all the scars you bare are from a previous war
Recognition of scars as remnants of a past emotional battle.
But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms
Suspecting a fear of love as a barrier to embracing affection.
Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come
Promising to keep a guiding light on any path the person may take.
And you will find your way in any given storm
Assurance that the person will navigate through any difficulty.
I remember walking you to hell
Recollection of supporting the person through challenging times.
When you asked the man for one last mission bell
Narrates a moment of seeking a final mission or purpose.
And I followed until the darkness came
Following the person until darkness, signifying a commitment.
I felt so lost, you were my cause
Feeling lost due to the person's actions becoming a cause of distress.
So I'll ask again and again
Expresses a repeated inquiry into the reasons for losing courage.
Why the courage left when you numbed the pain
Questions the departure of courage when pain is suppressed.
Was I ever part of what you called your plan?
Doubts if the narrator was ever part of the person's plans.
I felt so lost that I left your cause
Leaving the person's cause due to feeling profoundly lost.
And I don't know if you've been hurt before
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding the person's past hurts.
And all the scars you bare are from a previous war
Repeating the idea of visible scars from a previous emotional battle.
But if it's fear of love that keeps you out of open arms
Reaffirming the suspicion that fear of love hinders emotional connection.
Then I will leave the lights on any trail to come
Promise to provide guidance with a metaphorical light on any path.
And you will find your way in any given storm
Reassurance that the person will find their way through challenges.
And you will find your way in any given storm
Reiteration of the assurance amid any turbulent situation.
