When My Fever Breaks
Breaking the Fever: Love's Healing Touch in John Moreland's Melody
Lyrics
Star-crossed eyes and cross-eyed stars
Describing a situation of fate and destiny with conflicting or contradictory elements.
No use hiding age old scars
There's no point in concealing long-lasting emotional wounds or experiences.
Well, you're not here, and I can't be still
Feeling restless or unable to be calm in your absence.
I don't think I'll sleep until I see you
Expressing an inability to find peace until reunited with the person being addressed.
The strongest will, the softest touch
Highlighting the combination of strength and tenderness in a person or relationship.
I never thought I'd have so much
Surprised by the depth or amount of something unexpected or positive.
You call me out and rein me in
Describing the dynamic of being drawn out and then restrained or controlled.
Riding through the rain again tonight
Metaphorically riding through difficulties or challenges, possibly emotional ones.
Hold my hand and ease my aches
Asking for comfort and support to alleviate emotional or physical pain.
Wake me up when my fever breaks
Requesting to be awakened or helped when a difficult situation or emotional turmoil ends.
I'm laying down my soul, the answers that I can't know
Offering one's innermost self, accepting uncertainties that have no clear answers.
And the pain I thought I never would let go of
Referring to the enduring pain that was previously difficult to release.
Well, these days we got hell to pay
Presenting a time characterized by significant challenges or troubles.
And we got rigid roles to play
Referring to societal or personal expectations that need to be fulfilled.
And driving 'round this neighborhood
Driving around the familiar area isn’t proving beneficial or helpful.
Just ain't doing me no good at this time
Expressing dissatisfaction or ineffectiveness of current actions or routines.
But darlin' when you reach for me
Describing the feeling of infinity or endlessness when being reached out to by the person.
It feels just like infinity
Seeking help from a loved one to break a negative cycle or pattern.
Honey help me break this curse
Expressing a plea for assistance in overcoming difficulties or challenges.
Howling at the universe again
Metaphorically expressing frustration or dissatisfaction with life’s uncertainties or challenges.
Hold my hand and ease my aches
Requesting support and comfort to alleviate pain or distress.
Wake me up when my fever breaks
Asking to be awakened or helped when a challenging situation or emotional turmoil ends, repeating the earlier sentiment.
I'm laying down my soul, the answers that I can't know
Offering one's innermost self, accepting uncertainties that have no clear answers, echoing a previous line.
And the pain I thought I never would let go of
Referring again to enduring pain that was previously difficult to release, echoing an earlier sentiment.
