The Calm You Keep
Finding Strength Amidst Life's Storms
Lyrics
How did you get so strong?
Reflecting on the person's strength and questioning its origin.
You keep us keeping on and on
Acknowledging the person's role in maintaining resilience and perseverance.
We’ve had our heads in stone
Describing a period of emotional hardness or difficulty.
Got high to fight the low, the low
Using substances or coping mechanisms to confront emotional lows.
You’re in the garden planting seeds again
Metaphorically placing the person in a garden, suggesting a nurturing or growth-oriented activity.
Watching the light come through the trees
Observing natural beauty and illumination, possibly symbolizing positivity.
The calm you keep inside the storm is something else
Highlighting an inner calm amidst external turmoil or challenges.
Amongst the purples and the greens
Amidst colors (purples and greens), symbolizing life and vitality.
I climbed into your bed
Recalling a moment of vulnerability, seeking comfort or solace.
Just like a child I laid and wept
Comparing oneself to a child, emphasizing fragility and innocence.
You did not show your fear
Commending the person for hiding their fear during a challenging time.
You knew the sun was somewhere near
Acknowledging the presence of hope or positivity symbolized by the sun.
You’re in the garden planting seeds again
Repeating the garden metaphor, suggesting a recurring theme of growth or renewal.
Watching the light come through the trees
Reiterating the beauty of nature and its impact on the person.
The calm you keep inside the storm is something else
Emphasizing the inner calm amid external storms, possibly resilience.
Amongst the purples and the greens
Reinforcing the imagery of vibrant colors representing life and positivity.
You’re in the garden planting seeds again
Continuing the metaphor of the garden and its symbolic significance.
Watching the light come through the trees
Repeating the observation of nature's beauty and its impact on the person.
The calm you keep inside the storm is something else
Reiterating the theme of inner calm during external challenges.
Amongst the purples and the greens
Highlighting the vibrancy of life represented by purples and greens.
