So You Say You Lost Your Baby
Lyrics
Well you're smoulderin' with fly words
Expressing intense emotions with impactful words.
Catch the moment on the run
Capturing a fleeting moment in time while on the move.
And you say there's nothin' easy
Stating that nothing is straightforward about the difficult circumstances of your origin.
About the plywood tract you're from
Referring to a humble, basic dwelling place made of plywood.
And you stand inside your wind stilts
Being in a precarious position, observing the unfolding of events.
Watch the sentence act begun
Observing the consequences of actions as they begin to unfold.
So you say you lost your baby
Claiming the loss of a loved one.
Don't you know that you're the one?
Suggesting personal responsibility for the mentioned loss.
And you stand and watch the trials go
Witnessing and experiencing life's challenges from a distance.
From here to there behind the scene
Referring to events happening behind the scenes.
Throw your troubles to the moon trolls
Symbolically discarding troubles, hoping they will dissipate like dreams.
To swallow up like stormy dreams
Metaphorically comparing troubles to stormy dreams that can be swallowed up.
Take an entrance to a stand-off
Approaching a confrontational situation with caution.
Looking if there's such a strife
Searching for meaning or purpose in the midst of a struggle.
And you say you lost your baby
Reiterating the claim of losing a loved one and questioning its impact on life.
Wondering if it's in your life
Reflecting on whether the loss has influenced the course of one's life.
And you fly your flags on Mondays
Symbolically displaying personal symbols or identity on specific days.
That take a rise and fall in one
Experiencing both highs and lows in a short span of time.
Ask the questions of the pilgrims
Asking profound questions to those on a meaningful journey.
That come to pledge what's all that's done
Expecting commitment or dedication from those who engage in meaningful activities.
Claim a tabernacle hillside
Staking a claim on a place of worship or reflection on a hillside.
Where you'll watch the dyin' sun
Observing the end of the day, possibly signifying a transition or closure.
And you say you lost your baby
Repeating the claim of losing a loved one and emphasizing personal responsibility.
Don't you know that you're the one?
Reiterating the idea that the speaker is the one responsible for the loss.
So you say you lost your baby
Repeating the assertion of losing a loved one and the speaker's responsibility.
Don't you know that you're the one?
Re-emphasizing the notion that the speaker is the one who lost a loved one.
So you say you lost your baby
Once again stating that the speaker lost a loved one and acknowledging personal responsibility.
Don't you know that you're the one?
Concluding with a reminder that the speaker is responsible for the loss of a loved one.
