Stunned One
Embracing Change: A Poetic Journey of Hope and Heartache
Lyrics
You’re a stunned one
You are taken aback or surprised.
Squinting into the morning sun
You are narrowing your eyes against the bright morning sunlight.
And hoping that it doesn’t
You are wishing that the sun won't harm your eyes.
Burn your eyes away
Expressing concern about potential harm to your eyes from the sun.
You’re from the old guard
You belong to an older generation.
But praying to a new god
You are seeking guidance or help from a new deity.
Hoping for a thunderbolt to take
Hoping for a sudden and powerful intervention to alleviate pain.
The pain away
Expressing a desire for relief from suffering.
Cast off cut loose
To discard and free oneself.
Floundering maybe I could
Feeling lost and contemplating stopping someone's uncertainty.
Stop your wondering
Suggesting the possibility of ending someone's state of uncertainty.
You’re tired and you’re looking for a savior
You are fatigued and seeking someone to save or support you.
Or maybe just a patron of the arts
Looking for either a rescuer or a supporter of the arts.
You're a young gun aiming for a setting sun
Being ambitious and aiming for a goal despite challenges.
And hoping that it doesn’t go
Fearing that the setting sun may symbolize an end that hurts emotionally.
And cut your heart apart
Worried that the setting sun may cause emotional pain.
Unanswering unhappening
Describing situations or circumstances without resolution or fulfillment.
Undelivering
Highlighting the absence of responses or positive events.
Maybe I could stop your
Considering the possibility of alleviating someone's discomfort or fear.
Shivering
Suggesting a desire to stop someone from trembling or feeling cold.
You’re a stunned one
Reiterating the feeling of being surprised or shocked.
Squinting into the morning sun
Repeating the image of squinting into the morning sun.
And hoping that it doesn’t
Reiterating the hope that the sun won't harm the eyes.
Burn your eyes away
Reiterating concern about potential harm to the eyes from the sun.
