Rupturing
Unveiling Life's Fragility: Rupturing by Emily Jane White
Lyrics
When you were young, you were taken by time
Reflecting on youth, when time seemed endless.
You thought you'd always be alive
Assuming a perpetual sense of life.
And now the dwindling sparkle in your eye
Noticing a fading enthusiasm or vitality in the eyes.
You know the road is full
Acknowledging that life's journey is filled with challenges.
Of crime and thievery, truth be told
Acknowledging the prevalence of deception and crime in life.
And to the mystery
Contemplating a mysterious aspect of life.
Of something pulled away from me
Feeling a sense of loss or detachment.
And the soul rupturing
Referring to a soul undergoing a severe disruption.
By something that I cannot see
Experiencing an intangible force causing disturbance.
One by one, feathers plucked from your skin
Describing a gradual loss, akin to feathers being plucked.
And there you lay, bare in the wind
Depicting vulnerability, exposed and laid bare.
And god is watching somewhere
Imagining a distant and passive observation by a higher power.
With the lights dimmed
Suggesting a moment of divine presence with subdued lights.
And the only hand you hold is
Emphasizing self-reliance, as the only hand held is one's own.
Your very own of gold
Highlighting the value and strength of one's individuality.
And to the mystery
Reiterating the sense of loss or separation.
Of something pulled away from me
Expressing the ongoing mystery and detachment from something.
And the soul rupturing
Reiterating the disruption of the soul by an unseen force.
By something that I cannot see
Continuing the theme of disturbance caused by the unseen.
