Magic 8 Ball
Wandering Souls: A Journey Through Loss and Redemption
Lyrics
Christmas Eve blistered feet
Describing a challenging experience on Christmas Eve with tired and sore feet.
Weight on my hard shoulders
Feeling burdened and weighed down by responsibilities.
Walking on the side of a foreign motorway
Walking on the side of an unfamiliar highway.
Greeted with signs saying closed again
Encountering signs indicating closures, possibly symbolizing obstacles.
Thinking, if he knows my pain, where’d He go?
Reflecting on the absence of divine intervention in personal struggles.
It takes time to repair the toes of feet
Acknowledging the time needed for personal healing.
Walked in faith too small for too long
Enduring challenges with faith and perseverance.
Low battery mode, torch light glows, on roadkill
Experiencing a low point symbolized by a drained battery and roadkill.
As I lemon squeeze the blurry dreams I’m owed still
Squeezing out unclear dreams, possibly expressing frustration.
And in my negotiations with life I always add on extra for virtues like oat milk
Negotiating with life, valuing virtues even in difficult circumstances.
I’m alone still, Rattling at the grief and a locked gate
Feeling isolated and facing grief with a sense of barrier.
Thunder crashes like a dropped plate
Intense emotions depicted through crashing thunder.
Hands become ghosts in front of my blotched face, it must have got late
Realizing the lateness of the hour and the impact on perception.
So I stop straight and realise I can’t go the back the way that I came
Unable to return the way came, signifying irreversible change.
And my oat cracker crumbs disappeared in the wind
Loss and impermanence illustrated through disappearing crumbs.
And everything I know is gone
A sense of losing everything familiar.
And My childish sobs become holy songs
Transforming personal pain into a spiritual experience.
Caught inside a choir of tears, as the electric storm’s fire appears
Immersed in a choir of tears during an emotional storm.
Falling on high from light years away
Symbolic rain falling from light years away, evoking a sense of cosmic scale.
I hideaway but still he sees me
Feeling observed and acknowledged despite attempts to hide.
Still he sees me and greets me into great halls with marble floors
Welcomed into significant spaces despite personal struggles.
As I’m wading in mirrors of rainfall
Metaphorical reflection in mirrors of rainfall, suggesting introspection.
And shaking God like a magic 8 ball, only to find he was never in there at all
Shaking God like a magic 8 ball, revealing a realization of divine absence.
Heaven resides in the last place I’d look
Finding heaven in an unexpected and overlooked place.
The last place I’d deem worthy
Challenging preconceptions about what is considered worthy.
The last place I’d ever love
Reevaluating notions of love and significance.
The temple is torn the captive is free
Suggesting liberation and freedom in the midst of turmoil.
I find refuge in he who finds home in me
Finding solace in a reciprocal relationship.
Something in the starry black
Being captivated by something mysterious and celestial.
Arrests me like cardiac
A metaphorical arrest or interruption akin to a heart attack.
The flood ruined the wallpaper
A flood revealing hidden truths or experiences.
But underneath were artefacts, all along
Discovering valuable aspects obscured by superficial concerns.
Guess I must’ve fallen wrong
Acknowledging a personal mistake or misfortune.
I’m everything I love and fear, all in one
Embracing both positive and negative aspects of oneself.
What should I focus on
Questioning what to prioritize in the face of loss.
When everything I know is gone
Reiterating the theme of losing everything known.
Drowning in the Icelandic
Metaphorically drowning in challenges associated with Iceland.
Your clone except I’m right handed
Comparing oneself to another, emphasizing individuality.
I still remember when dad told me
Recalling a significant conversation with a father about metaphors.
The metaphor in the sky landed
Understanding profound meanings revealed in ordinary experiences.
I never got to say goodbye
Expressing regret for not saying goodbye.
A byproduct of by standing
Being a bystander to a situation, resulting in unintended consequences.
I just hope you find family
Wishing well for others, particularly finding family.
I just hope your flight landed
Expressing hope for a safe
