The Blackest Lily
Embracing Vulnerability: Shades of Heart's Complexity
Lyrics
I didn't know the day was
I was unaware of the day
I didn't know what the time it was
I didn't know the time
I didn't know what my heart would do
Uncertain about my emotional response
I was afraid of nothing when you called me on the telephone
I felt fearless when you called
I was a creature of appetites
I had strong desires
And we played a game that you didn't like
We engaged in a disliked game
There wasn't nothing that I could do
I was powerless
I can be so bad
I am capable of negative behavior
I can be so bad
Repetition emphasizes potential negativity
They just took it away and they broke it in two
Something valuable was taken and broken
Color my heart
Request to influence emotions
Color my heart
Repeat request to influence emotions
Make it restart
Desire for a restart in emotions
Make it restart
Repeat desire for emotional restart
Color my heart
Repeat request to influence emotions
I want it more than I ever knew
Expressing a strong desire
The blackest lily
Metaphorical reference to a dark or challenging situation
The blackest pony
Metaphorical imagery suggesting vulnerability
Won't protect my heart from you
A defensive element doesn't shield the heart
You were unnercingly delicate
You were extremely delicate and unsettling
And I had a weakness for etiquette
I was attracted to polite behavior
You laid a trail that led straight to your door
You left clues leading to your emotions
And I could resist but it was hard to ignore
Resisting was challenging
Color my heart
Reiteration of the request to influence emotions
