Embracing Fear: Julianna Zachariou's Dive into Love and Uncertainty
Lyrics
I can’t see the moon but
I am unable to see the moon, but
I can feel it bursting in my bedroom
I can sense its presence strongly in my bedroom
I’m thinking of the face you make before you kiss me
I'm contemplating the expression you wear just before kissing me
the sounds you say to tell me you’ve been listening
The words you speak that convey you've been attentive
and I don’t live by the sea but
Even though I don't reside by the sea,
I can feel its crystals all over me
I can feel its essence covering me like crystals
my love and I are diving deeper and deeper
My love and I are delving into deeper experiences
with regular appointments at our local indie theater
With routine visits to our local independent cinema
and I’m a little scared but
I am somewhat fearful,
the way you’re scared when you’re a kid
Similar to the fear of a child
between the time you jump and
Between the moment of leaping and
the time you’re all the way in
The point of being fully immersed
soaring through a blur
Gliding through a haze,
my body in midair
My body suspended in midair
I guess it’s just a matter of time
It seems to be merely a matter of time
I’m not really good at this
I'm not particularly skilled at this
I feel like I am dancing on the precipice
It feels like I'm dancing on the edge
of something really lovely
Of something truly beautiful
something really daunting
Yet, something quite formidable
my body’s shaking
My body is trembling
but the feelings are haunting me
Yet, the emotions persistently linger
and I’m a little scared but
Once again, I am a bit fearful,
the way you’re scared when you’re a kid
Resembling the fear of childhood
between the time you jump and
Between the instant of leaping and
the time you’re all the way in
The moment of being entirely immersed
soaring through a blur
Gliding through a haze,
my body in midair
My body suspended in midair
I guess its just a matter of time
It appears to be merely a matter of time
I know I move slowly
I acknowledge my slow pace
I am shaky like the engine
I am unsteady like the engine
of my ’96 Toyota
Of my '96 Toyota
I am running but
I am moving, but
I’m barely making it
I'm struggling to keep up
