Discovering Peace: Joshua Arran's Angelic Ode to Love and Redemption
Lyrics
It's been quite some time
Expressing a significant passage of time.
Since I've written a song with
Acknowledging a lapse in songwriting with positive intentions.
Hope in mind
Desiring optimism and positivity in the creative process.
And it's been a minute
Highlighting a period without mental tranquility.
Since this this war torn brain's had
Referring to a mind affected by conflict and turmoil.
Some peace up in it
Expressing a newfound sense of peace.
The bombs I was dropping
Metaphorical bombs dropping, likely representing personal struggles.
Have stopped coming down
Indicating a cessation of personal struggles.
The smoke has cleared since you came around
Describing positive changes since someone's arrival.
I've been a mess since I can't remember when
Acknowledging a prolonged period of personal distress.
A nervous wreck
Continued emotional turmoil and unease.
You're always stuck in my mind
Persistent thoughts of someone significant.
For years, I've been drowning from the inside
Struggling emotionally for an extended duration.
Where have you been all this damn time?
Expressing surprise at someone's absence.
You're an angel that walks amongst men
Characterizing someone as exceptionally good, possibly a savior figure.
And I catch myself staring
Admitting to frequent contemplation of the person.
More often than now and then
Expressing disbelief at the remarkable presence of the individual.
In utter disbelief of what's standing in front of me
In awe of the person standing in front.
In utter disbelief, at just who's staring right back at me
Reiterating amazement at the person's identity.
And now I love you in a way that's new to me
Declaring a new and selfless form of love.
Totally selflessly completely free of jealousy
Describing a love free from envy and possessiveness.
Even if it had to be that for your happiness you had to leave
Accepting that the person's happiness may involve separation.
I'm told this is the way that it's supposed to be
Acknowledging societal expectations regarding relationships.
I'll never try to hide you were away selfishly
Committing not to hide the person for selfish reasons.
cause I can never rob the world of all you've done for me
Recognizing and appreciating the person's positive impact on the world.
I'll never try to hide you away selfishly
Reiterating the commitment not to hide the person selfishly.
because I can never rob the world of all you've done for me
Emphasizing the global significance of the person's contributions.
You're an angel that walks amongst men
Repeating the characterization of the person as an angel among men.
And I catch myself staring
