The Visitor
Journey of Self-Discovery: The Enigmatic Tale in Kadhja Bonet's 'The Visitor'
Lyrics
Her gowns of gossamer
Describing the delicate and sheer quality of her dresses
With sea blown in her hair
Her hair is tousled, resembling the influence of the sea
Ribbons left undone
Ribbons are left untied, suggesting a casual and carefree demeanor
Skin the color copper
Her skin color is compared to copper, possibly indicating warmth or uniqueness
She comes without a call
She arrives unexpectedly, without prior notice
And doesn't say a word
Her silence upon arrival, creating an air of mystery
Looking glass in hand
She holds a mirror, inviting introspection
Candidly you watch it
The observer candidly watches the reflection in the mirror
Oh!
An exclamation expressing surprise or realization
If I don't look there, will I still feel bare, will it show my secrets?
Contemplation about the consequences of avoiding scrutiny and hiding secrets
Oh!
Another exclamation, questioning the consequences of not confessing
If I don't confess, will I have regrets will it shape my future
Contemplation on potential regrets and their impact on the future
She sets a tarot card
She performs a tarot card reading
A fool lies on his face
A depiction of a fool in the tarot cards, symbolizing someone lost and unaware
Lost despite his own
The fool is lost despite his own actions
Compass yielding pocket
A compass in the pocket symbolizing guidance that he cannot follow
He can't be guided through
He cannot be directed on the right path
To get out his way
An obstacle preventing him from moving forward
He'd just say
Expression of determination to overcome obstacles
If I can just dismiss all the strengths I've missed
Contemplation on dismissing missed opportunities
They will fall behind me
Hopes that by ignoring weaknesses, they will no longer affect
If I can just ignore all the faults in store
Desire to overlook faults stored in memory
I can fool my future
Belief that ignoring flaws can deceive or control one's destiny
Bring me love!
An invocation or plea for love
So many restless nights I brought unto myself
Reflecting on restless nights caused by one's own actions
Ah, preparracion presentra puisance
A phrase in another language, possibly emphasizing preparation and power
The power lies in that you get just what you give
Highlighting the reciprocity of effort and reward
If I would do my best, no regard for perfect
Contemplation on doing one's best without obsessing over perfection
I can bare my deepest
A commitment to revealing one's deepest self without reservation
If I would do my best, no regard for perfect
Reiteration of the idea that perfection should not be a primary concern
I can guide my futre
Belief that doing one's best will guide the future
I am love!
A declaration of self-love or realization of being love
She flipped the tarot card and bent a smile that said
She flips the tarot card again, suggesting a second chance or new beginning
Ah preperation presentera puissance
Repetition of a phrase in another language, emphasizing preparation and power
The world was made for those who can begin again
An assertion that the world is made for those who can start anew
