Tumbling and Changing
Eternal Dance of Transformation: Tumbling and Changing by Eric O'Daly
Lyrics
Trying to get closer to the truth
Expressing the desire to uncover the truth.
Why am I getting open with you
Questioning the reasons for becoming emotionally vulnerable.
You turn me red like the sunset sky
Describing the emotional impact, turning red like a sunset sky suggests intense feelings.
Listen to the quiet in my life
Reflecting on the quiet moments in life.
Whisper under fire from the strife
Speaking softly amid challenges or conflict.
I make you blue like the clouds that hold the moon
Inducing sadness, making someone feel blue, akin to clouds covering the moon.
Clouds pass, tumbling and changing
Metaphorically referring to the transient nature of clouds, symbolizing change.
We are tumbling and changing
Reinforcing the theme of change and transition.
We are hanging on until we're gone
Expressing resilience, hanging on despite challenges until the end.
Finding I can breathe it open wide
Discovering the ability to open up and breathe freely.
Making space to hold it all inside
Creating space to contain one's emotions or experiences internally.
I'm waiting naked like the sky beholds the dawn
Waiting vulnerably, exposed like the sky awaiting the dawn.
Shimmer, shiver, whisper, morning dew
Using sensory imagery - shimmer, shiver, whisper - evoking a connection with nature.
Dream I step into the stream of you
Dreaming of entering a stream, symbolizing a connection with the subject.
We burn together like the stars that kiss the night
Expressing a deep connection, burning together like stars in the night sky.
Clouds pass, tumbling and changing
Reiterating the theme of change using the metaphor of passing clouds.
We are tumbling and changing
Emphasizing the ongoing process of change and transformation.
We are hanging on until we're gone
Expressing determination to hold on despite challenges until the end.
We are tumbling and changing
Repeating the idea of continuous change and adaptation.
We are tumbling and changing
Reinforcing the theme of perpetual transformation.
We are hanging on
Stating the determination to endure challenges until the end.
