Empty Handed
Embracing Love's Redemption: 'Empty Handed' Reflections
Lyrics
If I came to you empty handed
If I approached you without any offerings
A barren ocean
A vast emptiness, symbolized by an ocean with nothing
With nothing at all
Completely devoid of possessions or contributions
And if I came to you empty hearted
If I came to you with an empty, unfulfilled heart
Searching for pieces
Seeking emotional fragments after facing a downfall
After the fall
Recovering from a challenging experience
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
Expressing a history of concealing secrets
But I'm tired of going on without believing
Frustrated with continuing without genuine belief
And love is not illusion, love illuminates the blind
Love is emphasized as real, dispelling any illusions
If I fell into you, would it be close enough
Exploring the depth of connection and intimacy
If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is
Considering opening up emotionally, seeking love's definition
If I had nothing to give
If I had nothing to offer
If you came to me empty handed
Imagining the other person with empty hands
I'd bring the ocean to bring you home
Pledging to provide everything, even an expansive ocean
And if you came to me empty hearted
Ready to mend a broken heart with found emotional pieces
I'd find the pieces to make you own
Commitment to completeness for the other person
If I fell into you, would it be close enough
Revisiting the theme of closeness and connection
If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is
Asking for a demonstration of love if barriers are removed
If I had nothing to give
If I had nothing to give emotionally
If I am a promise
If I represent a commitment or assurance
Will you let me break again
Possibly expressing vulnerability and fear of breaking
I will be your congress, I will only let you ban
Commitment to be a supportive force, preventing bans or separation
All I've ever known is how to hide a secret
Reiteration of a history of concealing secrets
But I'm tired of going on without believing
Repeating the weariness of continuing without belief
And love is not illusion, love illuminates the blind
Emphasizing that love is not a mirage, but a clarifying force
If I fell into you, would it be close enough
Revisiting the theme of closeness and connection
If I finally let you in, would you show me what love is
Asking for a demonstration of love if barriers are removed
If I had nothing to give
If I had nothing to give emotionally
If I had nothing to give
