His Love
Love's Cost: Unveiling Truths in Joyce Prescher's Melody
Lyrics
Truth is overrated in a time when love is lost
Highlighting the diminished value of truth in a time dominated by lost love.
You ask for all the answers but don't realise the cost
Expressing the unawareness of the cost associated with seeking all the answers.
And as you turn the pages of the book that is your mind
Metaphorically referring to the mind as a book, questioning the pursuit of external desires.
What is it you seek outside yourself, and is it right?
Challenging the search for fulfillment outside oneself and questioning its morality.
A carefully painted picture so cracks never appear
Describing the creation of a flawless image to hide vulnerabilities.
You sense a new beginning, cause you know the end is near
Sensing a new beginning while being aware of an impending end.
He stubbornly holds your hand, and prays he's wrong not you
Someone (possibly a lover) firmly holds the protagonist's hand and hopes for an incorrect outcome.
You blame yourself for all that's wrong, but know it isn't true
Taking on blame for problems while recognizing the falseness of self-guilt.
His love comes at a price you can't afford to pay
Stating that love has a significant cost that the individual cannot afford.
And every word so softly spoken you can't look away
Describing the captivating nature of spoken words that cannot be ignored.
And everything you've ever been
Reflecting on the person's entire history and identity.
Can't stop what is happening
Accepting the inability to prevent ongoing events.
Your love it got the best of him
Acknowledging that the protagonist's love influenced someone negatively.
Your love it got a hold on him
Indicating the enduring hold of the protagonist's love on another person.
And you cannot let go of him
Expressing the difficulty of letting go of the person influenced by the protagonist's love.
You sit inside in the rocking chair your father made for you
Imagining the protagonist in a handmade rocking chair, contemplating memories without distinguishing truth from fiction.
You swing and swing, remembering, but can't tell tales from truths
Swinging in the chair, reminiscing about the past but struggling to differentiate between reality and fantasy.
And as you run inside your mind, chasing words you'll never say
Engaging in introspection, pursuing unspoken words in the mind.
You breathe to live but fail to notice, time it ticks away
Highlighting the ignorance of time passing while striving to live.
Your love comes at a price he can't afford to pay
Reiterating that the protagonist's love has a cost that the recipient cannot bear.
And every word you say just makes him turn away
Emphasizing that spoken words from the protagonist push someone away.
And everything you've ever been
Recalling the entirety of the protagonist's existence.
Can't stop what is happening
Expressing the inevitability of ongoing events despite efforts to stop them.
Your love it got the best of him
Affirming that the protagonist's love has a profound impact on someone.
Your love it got a hold on him
Stating that the protagonist's love maintains a strong grip on someone.
And you cannot let go of him
Describing the difficulty of releasing the influence of the protagonist's love on someone.
