Summer Breeze
Embracing the Summer Breeze: Shedding Layers, Finding Freedom
Lyrics
Once you've been bitten you get a little bit shy
Experiencing a past hurt makes one cautious and reserved.
Start looking round for anyplace that you can hide
Seeking refuge or avoidance after facing a negative experience.
Once you've been naked you get a thick, thick skin
Having endured vulnerability, one develops emotional resilience.
Build it up layer by layer and you climb on in
Building emotional defenses layer by layer to protect oneself.
Then you're wrapped up oh, so tightly, I don't think you feel a thing
Being emotionally guarded to the extent of insensitivity.
No sting of snowflakes, no kiss of angel's wings
Unresponsive to gentle or delicate experiences due to emotional barriers.
And maybe you don't need that skin anymore
Questioning the necessity of emotional defenses.
Maybe if you took it off you would not have to breathe
Suggesting that removing emotional defenses might eliminate the need to endure.
Maybe air would just flow in and out of you as it pleased, as it pleased
Speculating on the ease of living without emotional barriers.
Look at all the heaviness, the weight in this world
Observing the burdens and challenges in the world.
Put and old lady backbone in a little baby girl
Placing adult responsibilities on a young individual.
Left no room for no lover, left no trust in no friend
Lack of space for love and trust due to emotional armor.
Just a little voice saying never, never, never again
A pessimistic inner voice rejecting future possibilities.
But if there's no such thing as safety, if there ain't no guarantee
Contemplating the absence of absolute safety and guarantees.
Maybe the coast is just as clear as it is ever gonna be
Suggesting that the situation may be as clear as it will ever be.
Maybe you don't need that skin anymore
Reiterating the questioning of the necessity of emotional defenses.
Maybe if you took it off you would not have to breathe
Reiterating the potential benefits of removing emotional barriers.
Maybe air would just flow in and out of you as it pleased, as it pleased
Speculating on the natural flow of emotions without hindrance.
Like a summer breeze, don't you want to feel the breeze?
Metaphorically comparing emotional freedom to a refreshing summer breeze.
Don't you want to feel it now, sweet summer breeze?
Expressing a desire to experience the liberating feeling of a summer breeze.
