Lyrics
We have been fighting for years.
We have been engaged in prolonged conflicts or disputes.
We have stood anchored through the storms of our fears.
We have remained steadfast and anchored despite facing the storms created by our fears.
We have held court with the noblest of friends
We have engaged in discussions or social interactions with the most honorable and distinguished friends.
As our twenties seemed to mark themselves with wrinkles in our skin.
Our twenties have left visible marks or signs of aging on our skin.
We are children of the California moon,
We are individuals who identify with the California lifestyle, possibly symbolizing a free-spirited or laid-back attitude.
Baby boomed teens dosed in the afternoon.
As teenagers born during the baby boom, we have experienced psychedelic or mind-altering substances in the afternoon.
They told us let love be your guiding light
We were advised to let love guide us, but the speaker suggests that empathy is burdensome, and intelligence can be sharp or cutting.
But empathy is a curse and intelligence is a knife.
(Empty line, no specific meaning provided.)
We took our cues from punks and drunk poets.
We recognize the struggles of influential figures, seeing potential for growth in their failures.
We found the pain becomes stronger when we try not to show it.
In the conflicts or tensions within our relationship, I will protect you from harm.
We have seen the fires of luminaries stumble and fade,
In moments of vulnerability, I will find solace and refuge in your embrace.
We found sparks in their ruins and seeds in their graves.
The passage of time will not separate us; our commitment is a catalyst for positive change, and our union is a form of art.
In the friction of our framework I'll shield from harm.
We persist through the static or interference created by our struggles.
In the details of weakness I'll seek shelter in your arms.
We endure the challenges or difficult situations in our lives.
The tides of time cannot pull us apart
(Empty line, no specific meaning provided.)
Our devotion is a catalyst and our union is an art.
We remain connected despite the tests or difficulties we face; our commitment has transformative power, and our relationship is a form of artistic expression.
We hold tight through static of our struggles, through the trials of our plights.
We endure and persevere through the disturbances or challenges in our relationship and the hardships we experience.
