The Slow Surrender
Embracing Connection: The Slow Surrender's Poignant Message
Lyrics
Separated, distant and alone
Feeling separated, distant, and alone.
Cold communication and you don't even know
Experiencing a lack of warmth in communication, unawareness.
The measure of your defenses though over engineered
Referring to strong defenses, possibly emotional, that are too elaborate.
They could never hold up the weight of all the fear
Those defenses cannot handle the weight of overwhelming fear.
We isolate to ease the pain but that won't make it go away
Isolating oneself to alleviate pain, but it doesn't solve the issue.
'Cause the truth is we're no good alone
Expressing that being alone is not a good state; truth is, we need others.
Try to fake it, dressing up the part
Attempting to pretend, putting on a façade.
For the one who knew you naked from the start
Doing this for someone who knows you intimately.
See you with your hands up, lifted in the air
Observing someone raising their hands, possibly in surrender or praise.
It's the slow surrender, collapsed and unprepared
Describing a slow surrender, feeling collapsed and unprepared.
And it should come as no surprise we're blessed with failure by design
Acknowledging failure as a natural aspect of life.
Of the truth oh we're no good alone
Reiterating that being alone is not conducive to the truth.
Me and you, oh we're no good alone
Emphasizing again that both "me and you" are not good alone.
Called out of isolation, the Spirit's invitation
Referring to a call to move out of isolation, possibly a spiritual invitation.
Baptized imagination, come join the living world
Mentioning a baptized imagination and an encouragement to join the living world.
Oh we're no good alone
Reiterating the idea that being alone is not ideal.
Me and you, oh we're no good alone
Emphasizing once more that both "me and you" are not good alone.
