Love's Gift from Araby: A Window into Passion
Lyrics
It is worth the admission
Expressing the value of the experience, suggesting it's worth the admission.
"Oh my love" fogs up the glass
Referring to a romantic expression ("Oh my love") causing condensation on the glass, indicating intensity.
I look on, in a window
The speaker observes from a window, implying a sense of distance or separation.
"Oh my love" fogs up the glass.
Repetition of the romantic expression, emphasizing its impact on perception.
On rainy days I wonder what's behind the veil
On rainy days, the speaker wonders about hidden aspects, possibly metaphorical.
And I feel your breath upon my mouth,
Sensing the partner's breath, suggesting intimacy and closeness.
And I press my heart into your hand,
Symbolic gesture of giving one's heart to the partner, expressing vulnerability and love.
It's my gift from Araby.
Describing the heart as a gift from "Araby," possibly a reference to love or a special place.
We can move and be trusted,
Expressing the possibility of movement and trust in the relationship.
But what is it that you want?
Pose a question about the partner's desires or needs.
It is not what they think,
Contradicting misconceptions about the speaker's motives.
Yeah what is it that you want?
Reiteration of the question about the partner's desires or needs.
They look down on me and they smile forever,
Feeling judged by others with a smile, indicating societal pressure.
But I know that love will kill that pride
Believing that love can overcome societal judgment and pride.
And I press my heart into your hand
Repeating the symbolic gesture of giving the heart, reinforcing the theme of vulnerability and love.
It's my gift from Araby.

Listen to what you're saying,
Encouraging the listener to pay attention to their words or feelings.
You know nothing of my love,
Challenging the listener's understanding of the speaker's love.
And if it all comes down to what you say
Suggesting that the partner may not fully comprehend the speaker's love.
You know nothing of my love.
Reiterating the idea that the partner lacks understanding of the speaker's love.
And looking up into the dark I find it there,
Searching for meaning or connection in the darkness, possibly symbolizing uncertainty or challenges.
And I feel my breath upon my mouth,
Feeling one's own breath, creating a parallel with line 6 and emphasizing self-awareness.
And I press my heart into your hand
Repeating the symbolic gesture of giving the heart, reinforcing the theme of vulnerability and love.
It's my gift from Araby.
Reiterating that the heart is a gift from "Araby," emphasizing its continued significance.
