Lyrics
Graven on the edge
Carved or engraved intensely
Of the words my Father said.
Refers to the impactful words spoken by the speaker's father
""You are all that I love.
Directly quoting the father's affectionate sentiments
All I’m dreaming of.""
Expressing the father's desires or aspirations
Bare your teeth, bare your soul.
Revealing vulnerability and honesty by showing one's true emotions or character
Do not forget I made you, whole.
Reminder of the speaker's origin or creation
All you ask me for,
Implying the readiness to provide or fulfill requests
Every good thing I have is yours.
Stating the availability of all desirable things for the speaker
Fire. Famine. Failure. Flood.
Listing adversities symbolically
I drown them in the depths of love.
Metaphorically overcoming difficulties with love
There is nothing life can do to cause me to care less for you.
Asserting an unwavering commitment to caring for the listener despite life's challenges
There is nothing.
Emphasizing the absoluteness of the preceding statement
Don’t you see? Its alive in me.
Highlighting the presence and vitality of a particular quality or emotion
Every vale and mountain,
Indicating the speaker's ubiquitous existence, present in various terrains
You’ll find me in.
Emphasizing the speaker's omnipresence in diverse landscapes
Don’t you see? Its alive in me.
Reiterating the enduring nature of the aforementioned quality or emotion
On this you can depend,
Assurance of reliability or consistency
Over and over again.
Reinforcing the reliability through repetition
