When It Flows
Sculpting Emotions: Great Lake Swimmers' Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
When it flows from the fingers
Creation or expression that comes effortlessly and naturally
And turns to stone
Solidification or permanence of the expressed thought or feeling
It shatters with the touch
Fragility of the expressed sentiment, easily broken by touch
Feel the air, breathe it in
A call to be present and aware, appreciating the surroundings
Turn the corner, take the bend
Navigating through life's twists and turns
Give or take the bend
The flexibility of choices or decisions in life
It's a spiralling cork-screw path towards you
A complex and intricate journey leading towards someone
It's a sinking, twisted path from me to you
A difficult and convoluted path from the speaker to someone else
For a second I saw you so clearly (clearly)
A brief moment of clarity or understanding about someone
For a moment I knew you so dearly (dearly)
A fleeting but deep connection with the person
I looked into your eyes and into your mind
An intimate exploration of the other person's thoughts
You were laughing like a statue come to life
Imagery of joy and vitality, personified as a statue coming to life
The subtle piano raindrops
Gentle and delicate elements adding to the emotional atmosphere
The creaking of the buildings and their cellos
Sounds that accompany the environment, contributing to the mood
The wind was our violin
Nature's elements creating a musical backdrop
The sky was a symphonic mural of stars
The vastness and beauty of the sky depicted as a symphony
Hiding behind perfectly placed clouds
The beauty obscured or hidden behind temporary obstacles
Because everything is the way it is
Acceptance of the present state of things, embracing imperfections
And everything is perfect in their imperfections
A philosophical perspective on the perfection found in imperfections
And everything is placed the best
Recognition of the optimal placement of elements in life
And it is now, and it is here
A focus on the current moment, emphasizing presence
And tomorrow is another now
Acknowledgment of the continuous cycle of moments
Waiting to happen
The anticipation of the future as an unfolding present
The roar of an action silences all the words
The power of action superseding the impact of words
The cry of an accomplishment
The triumph and dominance of achievement drowning out lesser expressions
Drowns the whimper of ten thousand words
The significance of impactful accomplishments over numerous words
And we live in our actions and our reactions
Life defined by the deeds we perform and the way we react
And we live in our actions and our reactions
Emphasis on the continuous influence of actions and reactions in existence
