Lost to the Flood
Eternal Love Amidst the Flood: A Poetic Journey by Golden Streets of Paradise
Lyrics
I know it's so hard to let go do you feel left alone and lost?
I understand that it's difficult to move on; do you sense abandonment and confusion?
You never wanted this though to be captured tagged and tossed
You never desired this situation; feeling captured, labeled, and discarded.
Those days are over most days you just get through
The challenging days are mostly behind, and now you merely endure through each day.
I'll keep you closer when the wolves are upon you
In difficult times, I'll support you closely, especially when challenges (represented by wolves) arise.
I would do anything for you
I am willing to go to great lengths for you.
You said this role was the only one I could have ever played
You mentioned that this role is the only one suitable for me.
Truer words have never been spoken from any stage
Your words are profoundly true, spoken from a genuine place.
Now I lay you down to sleep
A reference to a traditional bedtime ritual, possibly with a sense of finality or farewell.
As it blows the wind it weeps
As the wind blows, it carries a sense of sadness or lamentation.
May the earth lay lightly on your brittle bones
Wishing for a gentle rest on your delicate bones.
I was the last lone survivor you were sent out to stormy seas
Reflecting on a past where I was the last survivor, and you were sent into turbulent situations.
It's a constant reminder of the ways you would rescue me
A constant reminder of how you used to rescue me in various ways.
You my dear are the only one I could have ever loved
You are the only person I could have truly loved.
Even had I known it would all be lost to the flood
Even if I had known, our love would be lost to overwhelming difficulties (the flood).
When we play we play for keeps
Our actions and commitments in this relationship are serious and enduring.
As you sow so you shall reap
The consequences of your actions will eventually catch up with you.
May the earth lay lightly on your bones
May the earth rest gently on your departed bones.
Now I lay you down to sleep
A repetition of laying someone down to sleep, perhaps emphasizing a farewell or a wish for peace.
As it blows the wind it weeps
As the wind blows, it continues to carry a sense of mourning.
May the earth lay lightly on your brittle bones
Similar to line 10, expressing a wish for a gentle rest despite the fragility of the situation.
How many times must we capsize all your dreams cast to the unseen
Questioning the repeated upheavals in dreams, possibly representing persistent challenges.
Nothing's left of your allies they're lost to the deep blue green
Allies are lost and irretrievable in the vast unknown.
Wait oh my god there's a light in the night and a siren's song
A realization of hope or a positive sign in the midst of darkness and danger.
Take hold my hand and we'll try for the light of the dawn
Encouraging to hold on and strive for a brighter future.
I would do anything for you
Reiteration of the willingness to do anything for the person, reinforcing commitment.
