Walk Me Down
Journey Through Sorrow: A Poetic Exploration by Hannah Peck
Lyrics
Walk me down
Request to accompany to a specific destination
To the place where my sorrow grows
Desire to visit a place associated with sorrow
Walk me down
Reiteration of the request to accompany
Past the weeds growing under the stones
Passing through difficulties symbolized by weeds under stones
Cuz my tears they've watered roses
Expressing how tears have nurtured beauty (roses)
The life poured from my eyes
Emotional imagery of tears representing life experiences
Why can I never be satisfied
Questioning why contentment seems elusive
Walk me down
Reiteration of the request to journey to a specific place
To the place where I must die
Asking to be taken to the point of inevitable conclusion (death)
And may You go first
Wishing for a companion in facing the unknown
Only with You will I be satisfied
Contentment is linked to being with the companion
And my tears they will come back
Anticipating recurrence of tears despite uncertainty
Though I don't know where you will lead me
Acceptance of an unknown future
But as sure as I know that
Confidence in the certainty of love
You love me
Affirmation of being loved
Yes, You love me
Confirmation of the affection received
