True Love Leaves No Traces
Eternal Embrace: Unveiling the Timeless Depth of True Love
Lyrics
As the mist leaves no scar
Similar to mist leaving no visible mark on a hill, the speaker's actions do not leave scars on the person addressed.
On the dark green hill
Continuation of the metaphor, emphasizing the lack of lasting impact of the speaker's presence on the addressed person.
So my body leaves no scar
Extension of the metaphor to the speaker's body, signifying an absence of physical or emotional wounds on the addressed person.
On you and never will
Reiteration that the speaker's impact on the addressed person is devoid of lasting harm.
Through windows in the dark
Children entering and leaving through dark windows symbolize transient moments, passing without specific direction.
The children come, the children go
Metaphorically describing the fleeting nature of relationships, like arrows lacking clear targets.
Like arrows with no targets
Comparing transient relationships to shackles made of snow, emphasizing their delicate and ephemeral nature.
Like shackles made of snow
Empty space indicating a pause or reflection, allowing the previous lines to resonate.
True love leaves no traces
Declaration that true love does not leave lasting marks or consequences.
If you and I are one
Expressing unity between the speaker and the addressed person, suggesting that in true love, individual identities merge.
It's lost in our embraces
Suggesting that the essence of true love is lost within the intimate embraces of the couple.
Like stars against the sun
Using celestial imagery to convey the vastness and overwhelming nature of true love against ordinary experiences.
As a falling leaf may rest
Comparing a falling leaf's momentary rest in the air to a brief pause in the relationship.
A moment on the air
Describing a temporary moment of connection, with the falling leaf representing a fleeting emotional touch.
So your head upon my breast
Symbolic imagery of closeness, where the speaker's head rests on the addressed person's breast.
So my hand upon your hair
Continuation of the close connection, with the speaker's hand on the addressed person's hair.
And many nights endure
Referencing enduring nights without celestial guidance, highlighting the enduring nature of their love in adversity.
Without a moon or star
Metaphorically describing enduring love despite the absence of traditional sources of light and guidance.
So we will endure
Reiterating the endurance of their love even when physically separated and distant.
When one is gone and far
Reflecting the idea that true love withstands the test of time and distance.
True love leaves no traces
Reiteration of the theme that true love leaves no lasting marks or consequences.
If you and I are one
Restating the idea that in true love, individual identities merge and become inseparable.
It's lost in our embraces

Like stars against the sun
Concluding with celestial imagery, suggesting that true love is overshadowed by its extraordinary nature against the backdrop of ordinary experiences.
