Crystal
Unveiling the Emotion: Crystal Eyes Reflecting Hidden Depths
Lyrics
What's precious inside me
Internal qualities and emotions that are valuable to the speaker.
Won't let itself be known
These precious aspects resist being revealed or expressed.
To come out of hiding
To expose these hidden aspects is to risk ending up alone.
Is to end up alone
Fear that revealing oneself may lead to isolation.
No I won't break down in front of you
Determination not to break down emotionally in front of someone.
Oh of all the stupid things to do
Regret for considering such an emotional breakdown as foolish.
I won't let you in
Refusal to let others into the speaker's inner world.
I won't cross the line
Setting a boundary and avoiding crossing it to prevent emotional harm.
I've been burnt too many times
Past experiences of emotional pain and betrayal.
I want to believe
Desire to believe in something positive.
Want to be alive
Yearning for a meaningful and vibrant existence.
Look into my crystal eyes
Invitation to look into the speaker's eyes metaphorically.
Where a shout of joy
An expectation or potential for joy that is restrained and waiting to be expressed.
Is waiting to be born
-Is waiting to be born
-Is waiting to be born
-You slice me right open
Metaphorical imagery of vulnerability, being exposed or wounded.
A dazzling crystal blade
The impact of this vulnerability is compared to a sharp, dazzling crystal blade.
So thin I can't feel it
The vulnerability is subtle and fast, almost imperceptible.
So fast I can't evade
-And you cut right to the heart of it
The person causing the vulnerability reaches the core of the speaker's emotions.
And it only hurt a little bit
The pain inflicted is minimal or manageable.
I won't let you in
Repetition of the speaker's determination to avoid emotional vulnerability.
I won't cross the line
-I've been burnt too many times
-I want to believe
-Want to be alive
-Look into my crystal eyes
-Where a shout of joy
-Is waiting to be born
-Is waiting to be born
-And you cut right to the heart of it
-I won't let you in
Reiteration of the speaker's emotional defenses and the desire for a positive, vibrant life.
I won't cross the line
-I've been burnt too many times
-I want to believe
-Want to be alive
-Look into my crystal eyes
-Where a shout of joy
-Is waiting to be born
-Where a shout of joy
-Is waiting to be born
-Is waiting to be born
Continued anticipation of the restrained joy waiting to be expressed.
Is waiting to be born
