Be Gentle
Navigating Love's Maze: Emil Sigfridsson's 'Be Gentle' Story
Lyrics
Always and forever
Expressing enduring commitment and timelessness.
That's what we used to say
Recalling a past commitment to eternal love.
Before we knew better
Reflecting on the innocence of the past before gaining wisdom.
You and your ways
Addressing the partner and their unique characteristics.
Leaving me speechless
Describing the partner's actions that leave the speaker without words.
Takes my breath away
Expressing the overwhelming impact of the partner's actions.
We were young
Reflecting on a time of youth and ignorance.
We didn't know, we had no clue
Acknowledging lack of awareness and understanding in the past.
Now it's up to us to find a different view
Recognizing the responsibility to change perspective now.
You lift me up
Acknowledging the partner's uplifting influence.
Then you knock me down
Highlighting the emotional rollercoaster caused by the partner.
How many turns can one love take
Pondering the twists and turns love can endure.
You build me up
Recognizing the partner's role in personal growth.
Then you spin me around
Describing the partner's playful or unpredictable actions.
Before you go breaking my heart
Warning the partner not to hurt the speaker.
Be gentle
Emphasizing the need for the partner to be gentle.
Love is a battle
Portraying love as a challenging endeavor.
You fight and then you crawl
Depicting the struggles and subsequent vulnerability in love.
Reaching to higher ground
Striving for higher levels of love and connection.
Safety is the password
Highlighting the importance of security in relationships.
How come we never use it
Questioning the neglect of safety in the relationship.
How did we grow apart
Reflecting on the distance that has grown between the partners.
We both know
Affirming mutual awareness of each other's presence.
I'll be here and you will stay
Committing to holding onto love and finding a solution.
Holding on to love
Expressing determination to preserve the relationship.
And find a better way
Seeking a better path for the relationship.
You lift me up
Reiterating the partner's uplifting impact on the speaker.
Then you knock me down
Highlighting the emotional challenge caused by the partner.
How many turns can one love take
Pondering the endurance of love despite its twists.
You build me up
Acknowledging the partner's role in personal development.
Then you spin me around
Describing the partner's playful or unpredictable actions.
Before you go breaking my heart
Warning the partner not to break the speaker's heart.
Be gentle
Emphasizing the importance of gentleness in the partner's actions.
Those who know what love is
Addressing those who understand the depth of love.
Will see our fire burning
Asserting that the intensity of their love is visible.
We can learn to fly again
Expressing the potential for renewal and growth in love.
Open up your mind let me in
Inviting the partner to open their mind and re-enter the relationship.
You lift me up
Reiterating the partner's uplifting impact on the speaker.
Then you knock me down
Highlighting the emotional challenge caused by the partner.
How many turns can one love take
Pondering the endurance of love despite its twists.
You build me up
Acknowledging the partner's role in personal development.
Then you spin me around
Describing the partner's playful or unpredictable actions.
Before you go breaking my heart
Warning the partner not to break the speaker's heart.
Oooh, before you tear this soul apart
Expressing concern before potential emotional damage.
Oh darling I'm begging you please
Pleading with the partner for gentleness.
Be gentle
Reiterating the plea for gentleness.
