Whistles In the Wind
Whispering Emotions at Night
Lyrics
There's something special about the trees at night
Expressing a unique quality of trees during nighttime.
It's hard to see them but they're there
Highlighting the difficulty in observing the trees at night.
I know there's lots of things you couldn't say
Acknowledging unspoken thoughts and feelings.
I know it's only cause you care
Suggesting that the reluctance to express is rooted in care.
The canyon whistles in the wind tonight
Describing the canyon producing a sound in the wind.
Under a diamond speckled sky
Setting the scene with a sky full of stars.
I wonder now if you could hear it
Pondering if the other person can perceive the canyon's sound.
Or if you'd even wanna try
Raising uncertainty about the other person's willingness to try.
And something now confuses me
Expressing confusion about a current situation.
The way we talk uncertainly
Noting uncertainty in communication.
About the things we know we wanna say
Reflecting on the challenge of expressing desired thoughts.
So close your eyes and dream tonight
Suggesting a temporary escape through imagination.
And maybe we can make things right
Expressing hope for reconciliation through dreams.
For now it's all just whistles in the wind
Summarizing the current state as uncertain, like "whistles in the wind."
You look so pretty in the dress you wear
Complimenting the appearance of the other person.
I like to tell you when you're sad
Expressing a desire to comfort the other person when sad.
And when we walk along the river full of rocks
Recalling a commitment to not return to a challenging situation.
You say you're never going back
Reiterating a determination to move forward.
But something now confuses me
Repeating the confusion about the current situation.
The way we talk uncertainly
Reemphasizing uncertainty in communication.
About the things we really wanna say
Revisiting the challenge of expressing desired thoughts.
It breaks my heart we're in the dark
Expressing sadness about the lack of clarity.
And all we know are thin remarks
Noting the limitation of shallow or insufficient remarks.
Is all of this just whistles in the wind?
Raising the question of whether everything is just fleeting like "whistles in the wind."
I try I try to open
Conveying an effort to address issues.
To fix it when it's broken
Expressing a commitment to repair when things go wrong.
But still it feels too far away to reach
Acknowledging a sense of distance and difficulty in resolving issues.
And I try to listen closely
Trying to actively listen to the slow progression of issues.
To hear it come so slowly
Highlighting the gradual and mixed nature of emotions.
But all of our emotions mix together
Describing the intertwining and complexity of emotions.
Like whistles in the wind
Comparing emotions to the fleeting nature of "whistles in the wind."
