Lyrics
Got a picture of you
Reflecting on a picture of someone, possibly a loved one.
Sitting next to my bed
The picture is placed near the bed, providing comfort.
It helps get me through
Finding solace in the image during challenging times.
These storms in my head
Struggling with internal turmoil or emotional storms.
I sit up at night
Nighttime contemplation, surrounded by walls.
And stare at these walls
Intense focus on surroundings, possibly symbolic walls.
I know what it’s like
Understanding the experience of being stuck or stagnant.
To be an engine that has stalled
Feeling like a stalled engine, lacking momentum.
Oh feels like a free for all
Expressing a sense of chaos or disorder in life.
Feels like a free for all
Reiteration of the feeling of a chaotic situation.
But I figure this life
Life is about learning to navigate challenges.
Is about learning how
Focusing on personal growth and resilience.
To get through these nights
Coping with difficult nights without looking back.
Without turning around
Emphasizing the importance of forward progression.
But as time slips away
Time passing, possibly feeling the pressure of it.
I tend to hide beneath
Seeking refuge beneath a poet's expression and identity.
The poet and this face
Connecting with a deeper, artistic side during challenges.
In the shadows of the trees
Symbolic imagery of finding solace in natural shadows.
Oh won’t you sing me to sleep
Requesting comfort through a soothing lullaby or song.
Oh won’t you sing me to sleep
Repetition of the plea for calming support.
If there’s nothing like love
Contrasting love and pain, integral aspects of life.
Then there’s nothing like pain
Highlighting the inevitability of pain in love.
When you put the two together
Expressing a cautionary tone about combining love and pain.
You’re just asking for some rain
Suggesting that combining love and pain leads to hardship.
And when it does fall
Imagining the emotional rain that follows such combinations.
As it rolls down your face
Visualizing tears rolling down one's face like rain.
As your clothes soak it up
Metaphorically absorbing experiences, like clothes with rain.
Like the years and the days
Comparing the absorption of experiences to the passage of time.
Oh don’t give up on grace
Emphasizing the importance of holding onto grace.
Don’t give up on grace
Repeating the call to persevere and not give up on grace.
Don’t give up on grace
Encouraging resilience and persistence in the face of challenges.
Don’t give up on grace
Final plea to maintain faith and hope in grace.
