Life and Breath and Everything
Embracing Light in Shadows: Life's Symphony Unveiled
Lyrics
There is a darkness that finds me
There is a persistent feeling of negativity or distress that affects me.
On the brightest of days, in the happiest place
Even in the most cheerful or joyful moments and environments,
It still finds me
This negativity or distress continues to affect me.
So I run to the water to drown my own soul
My response is to seek solace in the water, metaphorically intending to find relief.
In the tears that I’ve cried from the sorrow I know
I immerse myself in tears shed due to the known sorrow I carry.
Then you find me
Despite this, you (someone or something significant) discover me in this state.
You find me
You find me even in my troubled moments.
That’s where I learn to sing
It is in this struggle that I begin to learn how to sing or express myself.
Yeah that’s where I learn to sing
I find my voice and expression in this challenging situation.
You give me life and breath and everything
You provide me with life, breath, and everything essential.
You give me life and breath and everything
Again emphasizing that you give me all that is vital.
There is a coldness that follows me
There is an enduring sense of coldness or emotional distance that trails after me.
To the warmest of places
Even in the most welcoming or affectionate environments,
I try to escape but it follows me
This emotional distance continues to accompany me.
So I run to the fire to burn up my soul
My response is to seek solace in the fire, metaphorically intending to overcome this feeling.
And return to the ashes I came from alone
I intend to burn away my inner turmoil and return to a state of nothingness.
But you follow
However, you persistently follow me in this endeavor.
You follow me
You continue to follow me despite my attempts to be alone.
That’s where I learn to sing
Similar to the first experience, it is in this struggle that I learn to express myself.
Yeah that’s where I learn to sing
I find my voice and means of expression in this challenging situation.
You give me life and breath and everything
You provide me with life, breath, and everything essential.
You give me life and breath and everything
Once again emphasizing that you give me all that is vital.
