Notes Falling Slow
Echoes of Truth: Embracing Shadows in 'Notes Falling Slow'
Lyrics
My love swears that he is made of truth
Expresses belief in the partner's sincerity and truthfulness.
I do believe him though I know he lies
Acknowledges awareness of the partner's lies but chooses to trust.
I've caught him creeping 'round darkened holes
Confronts instances of the partner behaving suspiciously.
I've caught him staring at distant skies
Highlights the partner's contemplative gaze at distant horizons.
I would have seen it coming but I'm blind with age
Reflects on a lack of foresight due to aging.
Too much time on the battle line
Mentions spending too much time in life's conflicts.
Shut it all out just let the notes fall slow
Encourages blocking out negativity and letting calmness prevail.
Slow
Reiterates the call for a slow, peaceful approach.
My love lives inside a haze of gloom
Describes the partner residing in a state of darkness or sadness.
He fears today, what might come tomorrow
Expresses the partner's anxiety about the unknown future.
Seeks the shadow, shuns the light
Portrays the partner's inclination towards shadows and avoidance of light.
Bleeds for knowledge, prepares for sorrow
Indicates the partner's willingness to suffer for knowledge and anticipation of sadness.
I would have seen it coming but I'm blind with age
Reiterates the inability to foresee events due to aging.
Too much time on the battle line
References spending excessive time in life's battles.
Shut it all out just let the note fall slow
Advises shutting out negativity and allowing a slow, calming influence.
Slow
Reiterates the desire for a gradual, tranquil pace.
This ain't no depression, just notes falling slow
Clarifies that the emotional state isn't depression but a gradual descent represented by falling notes.
An early snow and notes falling slow
Draws a metaphor of an early snowfall as notes falling slowly.
Do I have the strength to bear their passion?
Questions personal strength to endure passionate emotions represented by falling notes.
An early snow and notes falling slow
Reiterates the metaphor of an early snowfall and falling notes, emphasizing the contemplative atmosphere.
