Lovers in a Dangerous Time
Embracing Love's Perilous Dance
Lyrics
The hours grow shorter as the days go by
The passing of time is evident as days become shorter.
You never get to stop and open your eyes
Life is hectic; there's little time for reflection.
One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
Anticipation for a negative event or change.
The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
Sudden moments of beauty can be captivating.
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Being in love during challenging times.
Lovers in a dangerous time
Reiteration of the challenging context of love.
These fragile bodies of touch and taste
Human bodies are fragile, emphasizing physical senses.
This vibrant skin, this hair like lace
Description of physical attributes in a poetic manner.
Spirits open to the thrust of grace
Suggests openness to spiritual or divine influence.
Never a breath you can afford to waste
Every moment is precious; none can be wasted.
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Reiteration of the challenges faced by lovers.
Lovers in a dangerous time
Repetition emphasizing the precarious nature of love.
Lovers in a dangerous time
Continued emphasis on the challenges of love.
Lovers in a dangerous time
Reiteration of the theme of love in difficult times.
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Repetition underlining the danger of the time for lovers.
Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime
Social pressure and judgment on the relationship.
But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Valuable things often require effort and struggle.
You got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight
A call to confront challenges persistently.
When you're lovers in a dangerous time
Reiteration of love's challenges during difficult times.
Lovers in a dangerous time
Continued emphasis on the danger lovers face.
Lovers in a dangerous time
Repetition for added emphasis on the theme.
Lovers in a dangerous time
Reaffirmation of the challenges faced by lovers.
