Painted Sky
Embracing Life's Crest: Council Ring's Painted Sky
Lyrics
Alright
Expressing agreement or affirmation.
Some would say that I'm taking this too far
Acknowledging that some people may perceive the speaker as going too far in a certain aspect.
But I'm thinking that I'm only at the start
Believing that the current point in life is just the beginning of a journey.
All my life I've been scared to ride the tide
Throughout life, the speaker has been hesitant to confront challenges represented by the metaphorical "tide."
When the wave crests I think I'm never gonna die
Despite facing formidable challenges ("wave crests"), the speaker feels invincible or immortal at those moments.
Far too long I've been holding myself from the light
For a significant duration, the speaker has kept themselves away from illumination or positivity.
I'm gripping tight to my painted sky
The speaker is tightly holding onto their own constructed, perhaps idealized, world represented as a "painted sky."
I've learned to listen to what my heart cries
The speaker has developed the ability to heed the emotional expressions of their heart.
You peel the paint off of my lullaby
Someone has influenced the speaker emotionally, transforming their lullaby or calming influence.
Well how you feeling are you reeling from the nerves
Checking on the emotional state of another person, possibly addressing anxiety.
Don't be scared this is something you deserve
Encouraging someone not to fear, suggesting that they deserve a positive experience.
You know you're ready so go and take that chance
Encouraging action by stating readiness and urging the person to seize an opportunity.
You're on the ledge looking through a great expanse
Metaphorically being on the edge or brink, contemplating a vast and significant experience.
Far too long I've been holding myself from the light
Reiteration of the speaker's long-standing avoidance of positivity or enlightenment.
I'm gripping tight to my painted sky
Continuing to tightly grasp the constructed, perhaps idealized, world represented as a "painted sky."
I've learned to listen to what my heart cries
Reiterating the speaker's ability to heed the emotional expressions of their heart.
You peel the paint off of my lullaby
Revelation that someone has emotionally impacted the speaker, altering their lullaby or calming influence.
Far too long I've been holding myself from the light
Repetition of the speaker's prolonged avoidance of positivity or enlightenment.
I'm gripping tight to my painted sky
Continuing to tightly hold onto the constructed, perhaps idealized, world represented as a "painted sky."
I've learned to listen to what my heart cries
Reiterating the speaker's ability to heed the emotional expressions of their heart.
You peel the paint off of my lullaby
Confirmation of someone emotionally influencing the speaker, transforming their lullaby or calming influence.
