Heavy Hands
Burdened Hands: Unraveling the Depths of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Heavy hands burdened by the palms of grace
Feeling weighed down by the responsibilities or blessings received
Scratching at the roots binding me to you
Attempting to break free from the ties that connect to another person
Once a divine design
Originally crafted or intended by a higher power
Entombed in my mind
Trapped or imprisoned within one's thoughts
We spoke as separate visionaries
Both individuals had distinct and separate aspirations or goals
The ground we walked decaying
The environment around them deteriorating or falling apart
I had to fall into the sky
Had to experience a significant downfall or hardship
Only to realize nothing's on the other side
Realization that there is nothing substantial or fulfilling on the other side of a situation
Of your lifeless eyes
Reference to someone's lifeless or unexpressive gaze
You lengthen our divide
Increasing the separation between them
I choose to bite my tongue and cheek
Choosing to refrain from speaking out or expressing oneself
Dirt thrown on this grave
Metaphorical dirt thrown onto a situation that has ended
A burden we both chase
A shared burden or struggle pursued by both individuals
Stand opposed burying the truth
Resisting or opposing the act of burying the truth
Like the roots
Similar to roots, only negativity or death emerges from a specific situation
Only death forms from its dust
Consequences that arise from the negativity or problems
Dirt thrown on this grave
Repetition of the burial metaphor for a situation that has ended
Buried like the roots
Being buried or trapped like the roots of a decaying situation
Decayed
Rotting away or deteriorating
Heavy hands burdened by palms of grace
Reiteration of feeling weighed down by blessings or responsibilities
Scrape away deceit binding me to you
Struggling to remove falsehoods that tie to another person
Once a divine design
Originally intended by a higher power and now trapped within one's thoughts
Entombed within my mind
Imprisoned within the mind
The end of the earth
Choosing to pursue something until the very end
Is what you chose to chase
Opting to chase after the end of a situation
The end
Emphasizing the finality of reaching the end
The end of the earth
Where one's demise or conclusion will occur
Is where you'll find your grave
Seeing the outcome or resolution at the conclusion of life
You'll see the light at the end of this life
Recognizing a sense of enlightenment or understanding at the end of existence
Buried in the dead of night
Buried or obscured during the darkness of the night
You are the curse that burns my dreams
Reference to someone being the cause of distress or destroying aspirations
Extinguished all in flames
Destroying everything in a fiery manner
Make it last
Encouraging something to endure or continue
If I can't hear you
If unable to hear a particular individual
No one
No one else can replace or replicate that person
If I can't hear you
Reiteration of the impact of being unable to hear someone
No one can
No one else can compensate for the absence of that person's voice
Faced with misery
Facing a situation of extreme unhappiness or suffering
In the bed of your disease
Enduring difficulties associated with another person's affliction
I'd rather walk alone
Preferably choosing solitude over being trapped in a problematic situation
Then be buried with the roots
Choosing independence over being entangled in a deteriorating scenario
If I can't hear you
If unable to hear a particular individual
No one
No one else can replace or replicate that person
If I can't hear you
Reiteration of the impact of being unable to hear someone
No one can
No one else can compensate for the absence of that person's voice
