Feathers
Feathers Unveil Hearts: A Poetic Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
So the heart stolen songs
The songs that have captured or touched the emotions deeply.
And the sirens sing along from out at sea
The allure of something distant (sirens) is captivating, and people are drawn to it despite the potential danger.
And we close our eyes and turn to watch them leave
People willingly ignore reality (closing their eyes) to witness or experience something departing, perhaps symbolizing a loss or change.
You are not to blame for what happens to me
Assurance that someone is not responsible for the speaker's experiences or emotions.
So you know where I'm from
Recognition of shared knowledge about the speaker's origins, actions, experiences, and potential.
And you know just what I've done and what I've seen
Confirmation that the listener is aware of the speaker's past, deeds, observations, and future potential.
And what I will become if I'm cut free
Expressing a potential transformation or evolution if freed from a particular situation or circumstance.
And you are not to blame for what happens to me
Reiteration that the listener is not accountable for what the speaker goes through.
And the feathers on your breath
The ethereal quality or lightness in the listener's words or presence.
Dance along the wind and cut my chest
Symbolic imagery of the listener's impact on the speaker's emotional state, causing both delight and pain.
I'd follow you down any rabbit hole
A willingness to follow the listener into unknown or challenging situations without hesitation.
And the bruise beneath your eyes has been growing like the tide
Comparing the growing emotional distress to the increasing tide, implying it's worsening or becoming more prominent.
Well no matter how this ends
An affirmation that regardless of the outcome, the listener's actions or words won't be a hindrance like the speaker's own presence.
They'll never be a crutch the way I am
Self-awareness of being a burden or impediment, contrasting it with the listener's potential actions or impact.
I'd follow you down any rabbit hole
Reiterating the willingness to follow the listener into uncertain or difficult situations without hesitation.
Come find me when I sleep
A plea for the listener to reach out or connect during vulnerable moments.
And tie anchors 'round my feet
An expression of being tied down or constrained, possibly by emotions or circumstances.
