Before The Storm
Navigating Shadows: Before The Storm's Enigmatic Reflections
Lyrics
Did you meet Jesus yesterday
Reflecting on a spiritual or significant encounter, possibly with a metaphorical reference to meeting Jesus.
Or did you just roll out of bed
Raising the question of whether the person had a meaningful experience or just woke up without much contemplation.
Your dreams fading before your feet ever hit the floor
Acknowledging the fading of dreams before taking the first steps in the morning.
Did you stand before the ocean
Contemplating a moment of facing a vast challenge or uncertainty, symbolized by standing before the ocean.
Thinking somehow you won't sink
Expressing a sense of optimism or denial about potential difficulties, hoping not to "sink" in life's challenges.
But you know, it's just the wishful thinking before the storm
Recognizing the fleeting nature of hopeful thoughts just before facing a significant and impending challenge, referred to as "the storm."
There's a lady in my nightmares
Introducing a mysterious and unsettling character in the form of a lady appearing in nightmares.
Not made from flesh just bone
Describing the lady as ethereal, not composed of flesh, emphasizing a supernatural or symbolic presence.
She creeps around the corners
Depicting the lady as elusive, lurking in hidden and unexplored corners of the mind.
The dark places I don't go
Pointing out the lady's presence in places that the narrator consciously avoids or finds uncomfortable.
And she won't tell me the reason
Expressing confusion and a lack of understanding about why the lady has taken residence in the narrator's mind.
Why she's made my mind her home
Suggesting that the lady's motive remains unknown and uncommunicated.
But she keeps me around for entertainment anyways
Acknowledging the paradoxical nature of the relationship, where the lady keeps the narrator for entertainment despite the uncertainty.
Did you leave comfort yesterday
Questioning whether the person left behind a comfortable situation or something valuable, highlighting a potential sacrifice.
Or something worth the price of gold
Exploring the notion of parting with something precious, possibly related to personal growth or self-discovery.
Did your hands fumble on the locks, around your soul
Reflecting on a moment of inner struggle, symbolized by fumbling with the locks around one's soul.
Did you stand beside the mountains
Contemplating a moment of standing beside formidable challenges, represented by mountains.
Thinking somehow you aren't small
Expressing a sense of significance and refusing to feel small in the face of life's challenges, despite the reality.
But you know, it's just the shadows falling before the night
Acknowledging the impending darkness or challenges before the night, drawing a parallel to the earlier reference to the storm.
There's a lady in my nightmares
Reintroducing the mysterious lady character in nightmares, reinforcing her ethereal and haunting nature.
Not made from flesh just bone
Reiterating that the lady is not made of flesh, emphasizing her supernatural or symbolic essence.
She creeps around the corners
Emphasizing the lady's stealthy and elusive behavior, moving around unnoticed in the narrator's mind.
The dark places I don't go
Reiterating the lady's presence in the darker and unexplored corners of the narrator's consciousness.
And she won't tell me the reason
Highlighting the mystery surrounding the lady's purpose in occupying the narrator's mind.
Why she's made my mind her home
