Lion and the Dragon
Harmonizing Hearts: Unveiling the Poetic Tapestry of Lion and the Dragon
Lyrics
How do you say I don't know
Expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge
When your mouth is full of words
Difficulty in expressing uncertainty due to an abundance of words
How do you say I'm not and never will be sure
Stating a lack of certainty about oneself and the future
Without sounding absurd
Acknowledging the challenge of expressing uncertainty without sounding ridiculous
And here it is 3 A.M.
Referring to a specific time (3 A.M.) and a person being contacted during vulnerable moments
And you're the one I always call when I get like this
Highlighting a specific person who is always relied upon during difficult times
And you'll likely always be the one
Acknowledging the consistent role of the person in the speaker's life
I call to clean up the mess
Describing the person as someone to turn to for help in cleaning up emotional or situational messes
And I could be the lion to your dragon
Expressing a willingness to be a supportive figure, using "lion" and "dragon" metaphorically
A river to your ocean
Offering support and companionship analogous to a river and an ocean
The moon stuck in your sky
Symbolizing a constant presence, like the moon in the sky
And calm to your commotion
Being a source of calmness amidst chaos or excitement
The lion to your dragon
Reiteration of the willingness to be supportive, using the lion and dragon metaphor
A river to your ocean
Repeating the imagery of support symbolized by a river and an ocean
The moon stuck in your sky
Continuing the metaphor of a constant presence, like the moon in the sky
And a calm to your commotion
Reiterating the role of providing calmness in the midst of commotion
As long as I, as I could be me
Stating a condition for offering support, emphasizing authenticity
I can't explain why it's taken me this long
Expressing difficulty in explaining a prolonged process of self-discovery
To sort it all out
Reflecting on the time taken to understand and organize one's thoughts
And to push and pull together into a song
Referring to the creative process of turning personal experiences into a song
I'm the boy who sat in the back
Describing a past role of being a reserved or unnoticed individual
I am the boy who'd walk you home
Recalling a specific action of walking someone home, indicating care or affection
I am your secret admirer
Identifying as someone who admires from a distance without revealing their identity
I am the unsigned poem
Describing oneself as an unsigned poem, suggesting hidden emotions or unspoken words
And I could be the lion to your dragon
Reiteration of the speaker's willingness to be a supportive figure using the lion and dragon metaphor
The river to your ocean
Continuing the metaphor of support symbolized by a river and an ocean
The moon stuck in your sky
Repeating the imagery of a constant presence, like the moon in the sky
The calm to your commotion
Reiterating the role of providing calmness in the midst of commotion
The lion to your dragon
Further repetition of the speaker's willingness to be supportive, using the lion and dragon metaphor
The river to your ocean
Repeating the metaphor of support symbolized by a river and an ocean
The moon stuck in your sky
Continuing the metaphor of a constant presence, like the moon in the sky
And the calm to your commotion
Reiterating the role of providing calmness in the midst of commotion
As long as I, as I could be me
Emphasizing the importance of authenticity in the speaker's role
