Tunnel
Finding Light in Darkness: Fred Eaglesmith's Emotive Journey
Lyrics
There have been times in my life
Reflecting on various moments in the speaker's life.
When I couldn't tell wrong from right
Expressing difficulty distinguishing between right and wrong.
She'd light the light
A metaphorical reference to someone providing guidance or support.
At the end of the tunnel
The supportive figure is a source of hope at challenging times.
And when I stumbled and I fell
Describing a moment of personal struggle and weakness.
And I just couldn't help myself
Expressing the inability to resist certain actions or situations.
She'd light the light
Reiterating the support received from the guiding figure.
At the end of the tunnel
Emphasizing the consistent presence of support during challenges.
And when the walls came crashing down
Describing a moment of crisis and personal confusion.
And I couldn't find my way out
Expressing a feeling of being lost and unable to navigate life's challenges.
I'd hear her softly call my name
Introducing the comforting presence of the supportive person.
I'd look up and I'd see the flame
Visualizing the reassuring symbol of a flame in the darkness.
Now she's standing in the darkness
Shifting the focus to the supportive figure, now facing challenges.
A shattered world
Describing the person as standing in a difficult situation.
She's brokenhearted
Indicating emotional pain and heartbreak in the supportive person.
I light the light
The speaker now takes on the role of providing support.
I light the light
Repeating the speaker's commitment to offering guidance.
I light the light at the end of the tunnel
The speaker actively lights the metaphorical light at the end of the tunnel.
I light the light at the end of the tunnel
Reaffirming the speaker's role in providing hope and support.
