Prayer
Embracing Loss: A Prayer in Muted Shades
Lyrics
Nothing to lose
Feeling like there's no risk involved
I press my palms in prayer
Placing hands together in a gesture of supplication or hope
Let my words become a wish
Desire for spoken words to transform into a request or desire
Now lost to the air
Now dispersed or gone
Nothing to lose
Similar to line 1, reinforcing the lack of perceived risk or consequence
I press my palms in prayer
Repeated gesture of seeking guidance or help
Let my words become a wish
Repetition of wanting words to manifest into a wish or hope
Now lost to the air
Similar to line 4, expressing the loss or dissipation of the spoken words
Take flight
Urging for liberation or freedom
Be carried by the wind
Requesting to be carried away by the wind
Find me something inside
Seeking to discover something meaningful within oneself
The fantasies of others
Contrasting personal desires against the fantasies of others
My dreams
Reference to personal aspirations or goals
Are muted shades of green
Describing dreams in subtle, muted colors
Undone at the seams
Feeling incomplete or falling apart
There is nothing to recover
Nothing can be regained
Nothing to
Repetition emphasizing the absence of risk or consequence
To lose
-Nothing to
-To lose
-Nothing to
-To lose
-Nothing to lose
Reaffirmation of not having anything to risk or fear
I touch my lips to earth
Touching lips to the earth, a connection to nature or grounding
Let her hear my simple song
Wishing for the earth to hear a simple song or plea
Now lost to the earth
Similar to line 4, the plea or song dissipates or gets lost
Nothing to lose I find a seed
Discovering something small and promising
Only a flower yet to be
A potential for growth or transformation
Give it away
Willingness to give away the discovered potential
I'll give it away
Ready to share with the world or nature
To the breeze
To be taken by the wind
Take flight
Repetition of the desire to be carried by the wind
Be carried by the wind
Reiterating the desire for guidance or discovery
Find me something inside
Similar to line 13, seeking something meaningful within
The fantasies of others
Comparing personal dreams to the fantasies of others
My dreams
Reference to personal aspirations or goals (repeated)
Are muted shades of green
Describing dreams in subtle, muted colors (repeated)
Undone at the seams
Feeling incomplete or falling apart (repeated)
There is nothing to recover
Nothing can be regained (repeated)
