Islands
Islands of Reflection: A Poetic Journey Through Love and Time
Lyrics
Maybe I'll move to
Considering moving to Molokai and bidding farewell
molokai and say goodbye
Expressing the intention to leave behind sunny California
To sunny California
Reflecting on the heat in October
Burning in October
We'll be older but
Anticipating aging while the partner becomes sober and relaxed
You'll be sober and relaxed
Imagining dancing in the grass with sanctioned sunlit laughs
Dancing in the grass
Referencing a moonlit goddess mass
Sanctioned sunlit laughs
Its a moonlit goddess mass
Experiencing a cleansing effect as the shore washes over
The shore washes over me
Letting go of untrue aspects and unnecessary parts of oneself
It cleanses me of every part of you
Everything I knew that wasn't true
-Every part of me I no longer need
-Baby when I'm 35
Expressing a desire for a redhead partner at age 35
I want a redhead cutie pie
Envisioning a future with someone possessing similar traits
They have your big green eyes and
Describing shared physical features with the imagined child
You hold their chubby hand
Emphasizing the connection through holding hands
Silly, clumsy while you dance
Depicting a playful and understanding relationship
Just so they understand
I don't believe in marriage
Expressing disbelief in the institution of marriage
I say it all the time
Reiterating the stance on marriage
But I guess I'd be a liar if I didn't say I can't
Acknowledging a potential contradiction about life without the partner
Picture life without you,
Imagining a future together in old age
When we're old grey
Visualizing a scene of knitting in a rocking chair
Knitting in a rocking chair
Envisioning spending the last days together
And blazing our last days, away
The shore washes over me
Repeating the theme of purification by the shore
It cleanses me of every part of you
Continuing the process of cleansing from past experiences
Everything I knew that wasn't true
Every part of me I no longer need
