Navigating Love's Turbulent Seas: Skellig's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
Oh that the song I'm singing
Expressing a desire for the song's impact to be profound and far-reaching.
Was an ocean wide
Wishing the song had vast depth like an ocean.
And that the word I'm bringing
Hoping that the message conveyed in the song extends to the other side.
Reaches over to the other side
Emphasizing the reach and influence of the song's words.
Each heart a burning vessel
Describing hearts as vessels on a tumultuous journey.
Out on a pitch black wave
Depicting a challenging and dark phase in life.
Chewing the bone and gristle
Metaphorically referencing the difficulties in pursuing love.
When it's the flesh of love we crave
Expressing the intense desire for love and connection.
And when a lie starts dancing
Highlighting the deceptive nature of lies.
Oh boy it sure can run
Describing the speed at which lies can spread.
Be halfway around the world
Emphasizing the global reach of falsehoods.
Before the truth can get its trousers on
Illustrating the challenge for truth to catch up with lies.
And in a nightclub mirror
Reflecting on self-perception in a nightclub setting.
I caught the merest glimpse
Noting a fleeting glimpse of one's primal essence.
Of my pre-human spirit
Describing a pre-human, instinctual spirit.
Frozen like a deer yeah, in the headlamps
Comparing the frozen spirit to a deer caught in headlights.
Until it just don't matter
Indicating a point where concerns become insignificant.
Until we're far from care
Expressing detachment from worries.
And when illusions shatter
Highlighting the revelation of truth amid shattered illusions.
You see the carnage everywhere
Observing the aftermath of shattered illusions as widespread chaos.
So with a taste like metal
Describing a metallic taste associated with war.
On through the fog of war
Navigating through the confusion and chaos of war.
So many hurts like nettles
Highlighting various painful experiences akin to nettles.
All growing up around my door
Expressing the accumulation of hardships around one's life.
I'm gonna cut that stairway
Expressing determination to overcome obstacles symbolized by a stairway.
Yeah with my own bare hands
Committing to building a path with personal effort.
Up to that high rock plateau
Aspiring to reach a spiritually elevated state represented by a high rock plateau.
Make my home inside the winds
Desiring to make a home in a place of spiritual strength.
Inside the winds
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to reside within the winds.
Inside the winds
Up to that high rocky plateau
Reiterating the goal of establishing a home in the spiritually elevated winds.
Make my home inside the winds
Emphasizing the commitment to dwell in a place of spiritual strength.
