The Brave
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Bravery and Escape
Lyrics
The brave still trapped in here
The courageous individuals are still confined in this place.
Waiting for the night to near
Awaiting the approach of night.
Inside this cave you call your home
Referring to a shelter or dwelling as a cave.
You sit and wait for your brittle bones
Sitting and anticipating the fragility of one's bones.
To carry you away
Hoping for the bones to transport the person away.
You fear what you don't know, don't know
Fear arises from the unknown.
And just steer clear clear
Advising to avoid and stay clear of what is feared.
Clear
(Repetition of "Clear" for emphasis.)
The brave alleviates the years
The brave person eases the burden of time.
With the bottle that brought her here
Alcohol, represented by "the bottle," has been a companion in the journey.
Still inside this cave you call your home
The cave remains the dwelling place despite the temporary escape.
You sit and pray for your brittle bones
Praying within the confines for the fragile bones to carry away.
To carry you far away
The hope that bones will carry the person far away persists.
You fear what you don't know, don't know
Reiteration of fear stemming from the unknown.
And just steer clear
Emphasizing the need to steer clear of what is feared.
You fear what you don't know, don't know
Reiteration of fearing the unknown and advising avoidance.
And just steer clear
Further emphasis on steering clear of the unknown.
So who will save who will save
Pose a question about who will save the person in this situation.
Who will save who will save you?
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the need for salvation.
