The Raven
Embracing Freedom: A Raven's Journey in the Wash of Rain
Lyrics
You came to perch on my window sill
You, symbolized as a raven, have come to rest on my window sill.
Your wings sore, no high flying anymore, my raven
Your wings are injured, and you can no longer fly high, my raven.
I asked myself through tears, have you flow before
In my sorrow, I wonder if you have experienced flight before, questioning your past.
No answer, did you hear
No response; did you even hear my question?
Hear me
A plea for you to listen and acknowledge my emotions.
I know that your want your food
Aware of your need for food, but questioning if you desire more than sustenance.
But do you want 'a finger just to grain
Asking whether you seek a connection, symbolized by wanting 'a finger just to grain.'
You leaned a long dark way, but do you want flight or just a flame
You have traveled a dark path; do you seek flight or merely the warmth of a flame?
I do not pity you, cos you will live
I don't pity you because you will survive; meanwhile, I am lost. Do you need me?
Myself I am lost, do you want me
Questioning if you can fly away from my window, escaping pain.
Or can't you fly from my window ever pain
As the blood leaves your mind, your will remains strong, capable of long flights.
And now the blood has flown from your mind
Describing a sense of detachment as blood flows away, indicating a separation.
Your will is strong, you can fly long ways, my raven
Acknowledging your strength and ability to fly far, my raven.
I know you that came for food, but now your hunger is still was left to do
Aware that you initially came for food, but now your hunger is satisfied; questioning your purpose.
The cold is past on, the crags is white and the future bright, for one as free as you
The cold has passed, the landscape is white, and the future is promising for a free spirit like you.
And now you are free again to be wild again
You are liberated once again to embrace your wild nature.
Go and spread your wings in the washing rain and feel
Encouraging you to spread your wings in the refreshing rain and experience freedom.
Go and spread your wings in the washing rain and feel
Reiterating the call to spread your wings in the rain and feel the freedom.
Go and spread your wings
Directing you to go and spread your wings.
And feel, if you remember me sometimes sing at the window and die
Encouraging you to remember me occasionally as you sing at the window and face the inevitable.
