Fabric
Unveiling Depths: Exploring the Symbolism in Henry Green's 'Fabric'
Lyrics
We put fabric on our skin
We cover ourselves with fabric
Fold it back to let the water in
We fold it back to allow water to penetrate
So deep in three years
We are deeply immersed or involved for three years
Can't we speak of what's within
Can we discuss what's inside ourselves?
Without consequence
Discussing without consequences
Without all of this?
Discussing without all the complexities and burdens
We're just moving
We are in constant motion
Hold on
Hold on, endure or persevere
Fractures forming
Cracks or divisions are emerging
We're not the only ones
We are not the only ones experiencing this
Always moving
Continuously moving
Hold on
Hold on, endure or persevere
Sound it slowly
Slowly emit sound or express oneself
With the hindrance gone
When obstacles are removed or overcome
We put fabric on our skin
We cover ourselves with fabric again
Coated them from over-sheltering, openings are clear
Coated to prevent excessive protection, making openings visible
Can't believe ourselves so thin
We can't believe how fragile we are
Without all of this
Without all the complications
We'd be falling in
We would be falling into difficulties
We're just moving
We are in constant motion
Hold on
Hold on, endure or persevere
Fractures forming
Cracks or divisions are emerging
We're not the only ones
We are not the only ones experiencing this
Always moving
Continuously moving
Hold on
Hold on, endure or persevere
Sound it slowly
Slowly emit sound or express oneself
With the hindrance gone
When hindrances are removed or overcome
