Where The Stories Lie
Unveiling the Tapestry: Revelations in 'Where The Stories Lie'
Lyrics
They tell me all your stories
People share their life stories with me.
All the little worries you cry
Revealing the small concerns and sorrows that make you cry.
They tell me what the world needs
They inform me about what the world requires.
What to say
Guidance on what to express.
Who to please
Instructions on whom to satisfy.
Where my loyalties should lie
Guidance on where my loyalties should be placed.
They tell me what you're building
Insights into what you are constructing.
Far too many stories high
Warnings against building something too ambitious or risky.
Do the stories lie
Pondering whether the stories being told are deceptive.
And tell me where will we be
Questioning the consequences when a significant event occurs.
When it comes down from the sky
Anticipating a momentous event descending from the sky.
Scattered far and wide
Scattering of stories far and wide.
In the rising tide
Referencing a challenging and transformative period.
What did it cost to get here
Reflecting on the sacrifices made to reach a certain point.
The blood and tears
Highlighting the potential overwhelming impact of blood and tears.
Could drown us all
Emphasizing the substantial challenges faced by all.
The miles that were travelled
Acknowledging the distance covered.
The trials and the battles
Recognition of struggles and conflicts encountered.
How many in all
Querying the total number of experiences.
The love and the loss
Exploring themes of love and loss.
The rise and fall
Depicting the cycles of rise and fall in life.
Every one for all
Stressing unity with a collective spirit.
The honor and the glory
Acknowledging honor and glory.
The lives of that story
Recognition of lives that contribute to the larger story.
Never known at all
Highlighting the unknown aspects of these lives.
All lie scattered
Stating that all these elements lie scattered.
Far and wide
Reiterating the dispersal of experiences in a rising tide.
In the rising tide
Connecting the scattering of stories with a rising tide metaphor.
Because they are all of one language
Referencing a shared language among people.
Nothing shall be withheld from them
Suggesting that with a common language, nothing can be kept secret.
Confuse their tongue
Advising to disrupt communication to prevent unity.
Scatter them throughout the Earth
Proposing scattering as a means to disperse a unified group.
