Love's Unseen Depths: A Journey of Redemption and Regret
Lyrics
I saw what I wanted and took it for me
I pursued and obtained what I desired for myself
Without the strings attached like they're supposed to be
Without the expected complications or obligations
I didn't know how deep some feelings can go
I was unaware of the profound nature of some emotions
And you can really do some damage down there
Actions in that emotional depth can cause significant harm
In the soul of another
In the innermost essence of another person
I wanted and got it opened up to me
I desired and acquired it, allowing it to reveal itself to me
So fast I didn't learn the dance of how to treat
Swiftly, without learning the proper way to handle it
These beings that walk and talk and breathe
Referring to the complexities of interacting with living beings
And you can really do some damage down here in the role of a lover
You can cause harm in the role of a lover
Nobody watching over to make sure we don't waste
No external guidance, risking the misuse of love
Love cupped right to our face
Love presented directly, but its value may be overlooked
Can you see it? When you taste it, can you be it?
Questioning the ability to recognize and embody love
I met an angel on earth but didn't know it
Encountered a special person without recognizing their worth
Now see the root of my curse that let me throw it away
Realizing the origin of a self-imposed curse leading to loss
With all this love in my heart I couldn't show it
Despite deep love, unable to express it
Touching the sting of my shame, no need to grow it now
Feeling the pain of regret and acknowledging it
Maybe I'll find one again someday
Hoping for a chance to find a similar connection again
When I learn to love for real angel
Learning to love genuinely to avoid repeating mistakes
May you find the one too
Wishing the same for the person previously encountered
It's not to absolve responsibility
Clarifying that acknowledging responsibility is not an excuse
And there's no going back, the scars are plain to see
Irreversible consequences are evident
I know well I put you through a living hell
Recognizing the infliction of emotional suffering on another
This is a way to make the damages clear so I don't do another that way
Expressing a commitment to prevent similar harm in the future
Nobody watching over to make sure we don't waste
Reiteration of the absence of external guidance
Love cupped right to our face
Love presented directly, with potential consequences
Can you see it? When you taste it, can you be it?
Reflecting on the ability to recognize, experience, and embody love
I met an angel on earth but didn't know it
Similar to lines 16-21, regret over not recognizing a special person
Now see the root of my curse that let me throw it away
Understanding the source of a self-inflicted loss
With all this love in my heart, I couldn't show it
Despite profound love, unable to express it appropriately
Touching the sting of my shame, no need to grow it now
Feeling the pain of shame and acknowledging it
Maybe I'll find one again someday when I learn to love for real angel
Hopeful for a chance to genuinely love in the future
May you find yours too
Wishing the same for the person mentioned in line 16
