John the Baptist
Salome's Dance of Revelation: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
I'm John the Baptist and this
I identify as John the Baptist
Is my friend Salome
Introducing my friend Salome
And you can bet it's my head she
She desires my head, not my heart
Wants and not my heart only
Emphasizing the focus on my head
If you see me smiling and you wonder why
Explaining my smiling, a private joke with Salome
You can bet it's a private
The reason behind my smile is private
Joke between her and I
Reiterating the shared private joke
And it's alright everything's alright
Expressing acceptance, everything is fine
Alright everything's alright
Reaffirming that everything is alright
She dances for me in the midnight moon
Salome dances for me in the moonlight
And when I play for her
When I perform for her, she doesn't sing too soon
She never sings too soon
Timing is crucial in our interaction
When my head's cut off and
Imagining a scenario of my beheading
I'm lying on the plate
Describing the aftermath of my beheading
I'm going to grin and tell myself
Determined to find positivity in the situation
It's been a lovely wait
Reflecting on the waiting period as enjoyable
With the revelations granted and my
Having received revelations, my face is haunted
Face just lightly haunted
Seeing myself on a nursery wall with a light haunting
See myself on the nursery wall
Visualizing a poster declaring me 'Wanted'
On a poster reading 'Wanted'
Understanding the consequences of being wanted
And there's a big reward for bringing me in
Aware of a reward for bringing me in
And I know in my very
Asserting my innocence in my heart
Heart I committed no sin
Confident in my lack of wrongdoing
