All The Whiles
Echoes of Time: Jace Cameron's All The Whiles Unveiled
Lyrics
Meet me down by the age old mine
Initiating a meeting at the age-old mine, setting the scene for a gathering.
All my brothers and my sisters will come we can all chime in
Anticipating the presence of siblings for a collective and harmonious experience.
Telling stories, fireside
Engaging in storytelling around a fireside, creating a communal atmosphere.
No second thought of dinner or of time
Immersion in the moment without concern for mundane matters like dinner or time.
Open eyes in silver light
Awareness and openness, possibly symbolized by silver light.
Keep a notepad and a rabbit's foot close to my bedside
Keeping symbolic items like a notepad and a rabbit's foot close for comfort at bedtime.
Hoping that we'll never cry
Expressing a desire for a tear-free, joyful existence.
Or give our parents over to the sky
Wishing to retain parents and avoid the sorrow of losing them.
Meet me out at a half past nine
Scheduling a meeting at half past nine.
I heard the man in the moon steps out of his shell each night
Imagining the moon as a figure stepping out of its shell nightly.
Running towards the deep horizon
Running towards an expansive and distant horizon.
Shake the hand that has a tight grasp on the tide
Acknowledging and shaking hands with the powerful force controlling the tide.
I've never seen the countryside
Expressing unfamiliarity with the countryside.
Take the rage of a winter storm, left swept in white
Metaphorically taking the intensity of a winter storm left in white (snow).
Telling us to take the night
Encouragement to seize the night.
Remember those bleak, dark times for all the whiles
Reflecting on challenging and dark times, emphasizing resilience.
Spent the week in the back of the old oak wardrobe
Recounting spending time in the back of an old oak wardrobe, a possibly nostalgic or hidden experience.
Ain't like any Georgia snow
Comparing the snow to Georgia's distinctive snow, possibly highlighting uniqueness.
Spun up by the wind, tea cold on the stove
Depicting tea left cold on the stove, suggesting a pause or neglect.
Miles and miles of wild grove
Describing vast expanses of untamed wilderness.
Who would leave this place?
Pondering the question of who would willingly leave such a place.
Who would kiss the bruises left on your face?
Asking who would be willing to endure and soothe the emotional scars of a loved one.
Over and over
Repetition of the phrase "Over and over," possibly emphasizing endurance and persistence.
Stand proud like a soldier for me
Encouraging standing tall and proud, reminiscent of a soldier's posture.
River running wild,
Depicting a wild, free-flowing river.
Throw me on your shoulders, head to the sky
Symbolic act of being lifted on someone's shoulders, reaching for the sky.
Over and over and over and over
Reiteration of the phrase "Over and over," reinforcing the theme of endurance.
Stand proud like a soldier (stand proud)
Repeating the call to stand proud, emphasizing strength and resilience.
Just for me
A personal appeal for someone to stand proud specifically for the speaker.
