Swept Away
Embraced by the Wind: Unveiling the Enigma of Swept Away
Lyrics
So we walked out and through the night
Initiating a journey, walking out into the night.
We laid down under the stars
Choosing to lie down beneath the stars.
And the sweat on our skin
The physical evidence of exertion reveals our presence.
Gave us away
The perspiration betrayed our actions.
And you came in like the wind that blows through this open door
Your arrival is compared to the subtle force of wind.
And in that storm I was swept away
In the emotional storm created by your entrance, I'm overwhelmed.
And the day you left you gave a little charm to me
Upon departure, a keepsake was left, a token of your impact.
And I wear it round my neck
I carry this token close to my heart as a memento.
Oh, every time the little charm might brush
The charm makes contact with my body, invoking memories.
Against my body
The physical sensation of the charm touching my skin.
You come in like the wind that blows through this open door
Your return echoes the force of the wind, stirring emotions.
And in that storm I am swept away
In the emotional turbulence caused by your return, I'm swept away.
There's a river that's flowing underground
A metaphorical river with unknown origins and destination.
Where it starts and where it ends
The mysterious nature of the river's course.
It's a mystery like where'd you go
The disappearance is likened to a mystery, asking where and why.
How far and why
Pondering the distance and purpose of the departure.
I could throw the little charm up at the sky, curse your name a thousand times
A desire to express frustration, but realizing its futility.
In the end it would do no good
Despite efforts, expressing discontent has no real impact.
You can't stop the heart when it wants to turn
The uncontrollable nature of the heart's desires.
You can't stop the body ‘cause it still burns
The body continues to feel passion despite attempts to suppress.
Where you came in like the wind that blows through this open door
Your return is once again compared to the force of the wind.
And in that storm I'm swept away
In the emotional upheaval caused by your return, I'm swept away.
Swept away
Reiterating the overwhelming feeling of being swept away.
