The InBetween
Embracing Life's In-Between Moments with Josiah David Swim
Lyrics
Stand in the afterglow
Standing in the afterglow, appreciating the aftermath.
Take a little time to enjoy it
Encouragement to take a moment and savor the experience.
Soon you'll be racin' on
Anticipation of a fast-paced life ahead.
Keepin' pace with the masses
Keeping up with the crowd, societal expectations.
OOO's
Expressive vocalizations adding emotional depth.
Late in the afternoon
Reference to a specific time of day, possibly reflecting on life.
When there's a breeze in the forest
Symbolic breeze in the forest, a tranquil moment.
And salt in the exit wound
Mixing pleasant experiences with painful ones.
Or cold sweat on your forehead
Physical manifestation of stress or anxiety.
I wasn't old enough to learn it's
Realization of a natural talent from a young age.
Just a gift that I was born with
Acknowledging innate abilities as a gift.
Son it'll teach you in a minute
Life's lessons can be learned rapidly.
You can't keep it in a coffin
Implies the inevitability of facing life's challenges.
Nah
Confirmation or emphasis on the previous line.
OOO's
Reiteration of expressive vocalizations.
Crows waiting at your feet
Symbolic animals representing challenges and threats.
Wolves on your doorstep
Perceived dangers and obstacles in life.
Life in the in-between
Life's existence in the transitional or intermediate state.
Won't send you off with a chorus
No traditional farewell, departure from the norm.
I wasn't old enough to learn it's
Reflection on innate gifts and talents.
Just a gift that I was born with
Reiteration of the concept of natural gifts.
Son it'll teach you in a minute
Emphasizing the swift learning of life's lessons.
You can't keep it in a coffin
Highlighting the inevitability of facing challenges.
I wasn't old enough to learn it's
Reiteration of the realization of innate abilities.
Just a gift that I was born with
Reaffirming the concept of inherent gifts.
It'll teach you in a minute
Emphasizing the swift nature of life's teachings.
You can't keep it in a coffin
Reiterating the impossibility of avoiding life's challenges.
Nah, you can't keep it in a coffin
Emphasizing the inescapable nature of life's trials.
Where has it gone to
Repeated questioning about the disappearance of something meaningful.
The sight once beautiful
-Your eyes were see-through
-Your truth was meaningful
-Where has it gone to
-The sight once beautiful
-Your eyes were see-through
-Your truth was meaningful
-Where has it gone to
-The sight once beautiful
-Your eyes were see-through
-Your truth was meaningful
-Where has it gone to
-The sight once beautiful
-Your eyes were see-through
-Your truth was meaningful
-Your truth was meaningful
-Your truth was meaningful
-Your truth was meaningful
-Your truth
-Your truth
-Your truth
-I wasn't old enough to learn it's
-Just a gift that I was born with
-It'll teach you in a minute
-You can't keep it in a coffin
-I wasn't old enough to learn it's
-Just a gift that I was born with
-It'll teach you in a minute
-You can't keep it in a coffin
-No
-OOO's
Final expressive vocalizations, possibly reflecting emotional intensity.
