Stealing Horses
Lost Minds and Stolen Years: Delenn Jadzia's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Something is tangled up and caught inside my chest
Feeling a constricted sensation in the chest, possibly due to emotional turmoil.
A broken wire hanger or some string
Metaphorically describing a sense of brokenness or entanglement within.
There's a hole between my ribs through which I tried to fish it out
Describing a metaphorical hole in the speaker's chest, attempting to address the issue.
And I still feel the way the edges sting
Still feeling the pain or discomfort from the situation.
Oh
Expression of emotional distress or realization.
I think I've lost my mind
Feeling a sense of losing sanity or control.
Basket case does not quite cover
Describing extreme mental distress, beyond what "basket case" can convey.
This brain, I will need another
Expressing a need for a new mindset or perspective.
Woah
Expression of distress or a plea for understanding.
Please let your words be kind
Request for kindness in communication.
Remind me I should stay the course when
Reminder to stay on the right path during challenging times.
I'm back out there stealing horses
Referring to a past or potential action of stealing horses, possibly a metaphor for risky behavior.
Someone has been watching through the curtains of my room
Feeling observed or monitored in a private space.
And in the living room through slats between the blinds
Continuation of the feeling of being watched, this time in the living room.
They keep their vision on me while I'm trying hard to write
Struggling to focus on creative activities due to perceived surveillance.
I'm scared that they might learn to read my mind
Fear of someone understanding the speaker's thoughts.
Oh
Reiteration of the feeling of losing sanity.
I think I've lost my mind
Repetition of mental distress, emphasizing its severity.
Basket case does not quite cover
Emphasizing the inadequacy of the term "basket case" to describe the mental state.
This brain, I will need another
Continuation of the need for a new perspective or mindset.
Woah
Repetition of the plea for kind words.
Please let your words be kind
Reiterating the importance of reminders to stay on course.
Remind me I should stay the course when
Linking the plea for kindness with the potential act of stealing horses.
I'm back out there stealing horses
Reiteration of the theme of risky behavior or choices.
Somewhere there is someone with a copy of my brain
Suggesting the existence of someone with knowledge or insight similar to the speaker.
Even sicker than I am, I fear
Expressing concern about someone being even more troubled than the speaker.
But I'm not getting better just because someone is worse
Rejecting the idea of improvement based on comparison with others.
I don't want to lose another year
Desire to avoid wasting more time or experiencing further decline.
Oh
Repetition of the theme of losing sanity.
I think I've lost my mind
Repetition of extreme mental distress.
Basket case does not quite cover
Reiteration of the inadequacy of "basket case" to describe the mental state.
This brain, I will need another
Continuation of the need for a new perspective or mindset.
Woah
Repetition of the plea for kind words.
Please let your words be kind
Reiterating the importance of reminders to stay on course.
Remind me I should stay the course when
Connecting the plea for kindness with the potential act of stealing horses.
I'm back out there stealing horses
Reiteration of the theme of risky behavior or choices.
Oh
Repetition of extreme mental distress.
I think I've lost my mind
Repetition of the feeling of losing sanity.
Basket case does not quite cover
Emphasizing the inadequacy of the term "basket case" to describe the mental state.
This brain, I will need another
Continuation of the need for a new perspective or mindset.
Woah
Repetition of the plea for kind words.
Please let your words be kind
Reiterating the importance of reminders to stay on course.
Remind me I should stay the course when
Linking the plea for kindness with the potential act of stealing horses.
I'm back out there stealing horses
Reiteration of the theme of risky behavior or choices.
