Lyrics
All this thick green darkness is bright with birds,
All the lush darkness is illuminated by birds, creating a vivid and lively atmosphere.
Their songs drift on through leaves, they slowly shift
The birds' melodies subtly move through the leaves as they shift.
All the whispering of the light above
The soft sounds above, resembling whispers, contribute to the ambient light.
Sudden streams join their choir, their voices rushing higher
Sudden streams add to the chorus, intensifying the voices that ascend.
And yet the shadow of dark times lies
Despite the brightness, the darkness of difficult times still lingers.
Reticent yet
Reserved, hesitant feelings prevail.
At the trees' feet
At the base of the trees, a sense of quiet and contemplation.
And feathers grow monstrously dark in my cowering mind's eye
In the imagination, feathers become intensely dark, reflecting inner fear.
It seems that, from me, crows fly
Crows, symbolic of ominous thoughts, appear to take flight from the speaker.
Their wings painted black with my fear of an awakening, perhaps it nears

Footsteps stain the fallen leaves
Footsteps mark the passage of time on fallen leaves, indicating a journey.
My grey shadows seem to breathe
The speaker's shadows, representing their complexities, seem to have a life of their own.
For themselves in this green avenue
In this natural setting, the shadows breathe, suggesting a connection to the environment.
If these old, whispered stories are true
The speaker contemplates whether ancient stories, often whispered, hold any truth.
I conquer these grey swirling beings for you
The speaker claims victory over ambiguous, swirling entities, possibly conquering personal challenges for someone else.
Pale light echoes from me
A pale light radiates from the speaker, dispelling darkness.
Banishing the dark
The speaker banishes the dark, symbolizing a triumph over adversity.
Somehow, it feels as if my destination aches inside me
A sense of internal yearning or anticipation is felt regarding the speaker's destination.
Some salvation caught like a candle
A potential source of relief or redemption is described as caught within, akin to a candle.
Under my skin
The desired salvation seems to reside beneath the speaker's skin, suggesting a personal and intimate connection.
