Pools of Murky Lust
Lost in Pools of Emotion: Common Ground's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
For the tenth time in as many days
Repeatedly, for the tenth time within the last ten days
I woke from a nightmare
I awoke from a frightening dream
Words you said and the feelings you felt
Recollection of your spoken words and emotions experienced
The kind I could not bear
Intense emotions that I couldn't endure
And then I wake to find that the dream was all too real
I woke up to realize the dream was a realistic representation
If your love was a locket
If your love could be contained or symbolized, it would have been securely locked
It would've been tight-sealed
It emphasizes the secure nature or containment of the emotions
It's the heaviest feelings that settle into the dust
The most profound emotions settle deeply and fade away
And where does that leave the lovers
Leaving lovers with intense, unclear desires or passions
In pools of murky lust
Resulting in a state of unclear or confusing passion and desire
Well I try to catch my breath
I attempt to regain composure
But it's always escaping me
But it's always difficult to maintain
And that very same locket
The symbolic locket mentioned earlier
You took away the key
You took control or possession of the means to access those emotions
And gave away the key
And then distributed that control
Been dragged down more roads than most travel
Metaphorically experienced more hardships than most people
So that settles it then
Decision made; a clear resolution
I'll keep a perfect reminder of you on me at all times
To carry a constant reminder of you
In a place on my person to never see it with my own eyes
But hidden from my sight
Like I never see you
Avoiding confronting you directly
I've never been so lost before
Feeling completely directionless before
There is no comfort in this babe
No solace or reassurance found in this situation
Been dragged down more roads than most travel
Similar repetition about experiencing more hardships than usual
But I'm still locked inside
Feeling confined or trapped despite experiencing various challenges
