Eden
Courage in Ruins: Unveiling the Poetic Depths of 'Eden'
Lyrics
Make me fortress
Expressing a desire for protection and strength.
Right there in the sand
Desiring a stable foundation, possibly in a vulnerable or uncertain situation.
Or I'll be sailor that looks to the land
Choosing to be grounded rather than drifting, seeking stability.
Make me a painter
Expressing a wish to create, to be an artist.
Or I'll be a poet
Alternatively, expressing a desire to express oneself through poetry.
Shining a light in the darkest of hurting
Seeking to bring light to the darkest and most painful experiences.
I've loved and lost
Acknowledging past experiences of love and loss.
But there's still more to learn
Emphasizing the ongoing journey of learning and discovery.
And more to be found in the blood and the dirt
Highlighting the depth and richness found in life's challenges.
Give me a blind eye to things I can't change
Asking for the ability to overlook things beyond one's control.
And make me a garden in of ruins of pain
Desiring growth and beauty from the remains of pain and suffering.
Make me lantern or make me a sun beam
Expressing openness to guidance or enlightenment, comparing oneself to a lantern or sunbeam.
Nothin the wind couldn't take if it tried me
Acknowledging vulnerability to external influences.
Tell me the secrets and treasures of Eden
Yearning for knowledge and understanding, possibly referencing the biblical Eden.
Or give me a serpent so I can defeat it
Expressing readiness to face challenges or adversities.
I've loved and lost
Reiterating the theme of experiencing love and loss.
But there's still more to learn
Continuing the journey of self-discovery and growth.
And more to be found in the blood and the dirt
Emphasizing the richness found in life's experiences, both positive and challenging.
Give me a blind eye to things I can't change
Repeating the desire to focus on what can be changed and accept what cannot.
And make me a garden in of ruins of pain
Echoing the theme of creating beauty from pain and hardship.
I've lost in touch with promise of Heaven
Reflecting on a loss of connection with spiritual or heavenly promises.
And given too much thought to things that will perish
Admitting to giving too much attention to transient and perishable things.
I've loved and lost
Revisiting the theme of love and loss, emphasizing the ongoing journey of learning.
But there's still more to learn
Continuing the acknowledgment of the perpetual process of growth and discovery.
And there is no fault line
Stating that there is no challenge too deep or insurmountable.
too deep in this earth
Emphasizing the vastness of grace that can overcome any fault line.
That stretches too far from the arms of your grace
Expressing a plea for guidance and support in the face of challenges.
So make me a garden in of ruins of pain
Reiterating the theme of creating beauty and growth from the ruins of pain.
Lord make me a garden in the ruins of pain
Concluding with a plea for divine intervention in transforming pain into something beautiful.
