Crying
Journey of the Soul: Unveiling Depths in John Roseboro's 'Crying'
Lyrics
Asleep on beds of leaves of grass
Reflecting on a natural and simple state, possibly symbolizing a connection with nature.
Counting stars and sands of time
Contemplating the vastness of time and the universe through celestial imagery.
This earthen vessel will not last
A recognition of the impermanence of the physical body.
My ghost will leave its shell behind
Anticipating a departure from the physical realm after death, leaving the body behind.
For occult realms and other worlds
Expressing a desire for exploration beyond the known world, possibly into mystical or hidden dimensions.
In other words, I feel that I'm
Suggesting a sense of understanding or realization regarding one's spiritual journey.
A pilgrim on a narrow way
Feeling like a traveler on a challenging and focused path in life.
A mortal lead by the divine
Acknowledging mortality and being guided by a higher, divine force.
Through inner space and awkward timings
Navigating the internal realm and confronting challenges with unconventional timing.
Energies and essences
Exploring and engaging with the fundamental energies and essential aspects of existence.
Asking all life's deep questions
Pondering profound questions about the nature of life.
Like what love is
Questioning the essence and meaning of love.
What turns lead to gold
Contemplating transformation and the alchemical process of turning challenges into valuable experiences.
And my cold heart to flesh
Expressing a desire for emotional warmth and connection, moving from emotional coldness to vulnerability.
I can feel it in my viscera
Sensing profound feelings in the depths of one's being.
My home is somewhere else
Feeling a sense of displacement, as if belonging to another realm.
I was crying, the shadows are stretched out
Experiencing intense emotions, possibly sorrow, with shadows symbolizing emotional struggles.
I was crying out, "the shadows are stretched"
Repeating the cry about stretched shadows, emphasizing emotional turmoil.
With acuteness of thought
Highlighting mental sharpness and linguistic precision.
And precision of language
Emphasizing honesty and sincerity in communication, met with defensive reactions.
I speak the truth in love
Claiming to speak truth with love, contrasting with defensive laughter.
You laugh in self defense
Observing a defensive response to the truth, possibly implying a reluctance to accept reality.
It's Heaven's discretion whether you accept
Referring to a divine judgment on whether the truth is accepted.
I call this night witness
Declaring the current moment as a witness to significant events.
Now choose: life or death
Presenting a crucial choice between life and death.
I was crying, the shadows are stretched out
Reiterating the emotional turmoil, connecting it with stretched shadows.
I was crying out, "the shadows are stretched"
Repeating the cry about stretched shadows, reinforcing the intensity of the emotional experience.
I was crying, the shadows are stretched out
Continuing the emotional expression and the theme of stretched shadows.
I was crying out, "the shadows are stretched"
Concluding the repeated cry about stretched shadows, possibly underscoring the enduring nature of the emotional struggle.
