The Constant
Eternal Echoes: Unveiling Depths in Lights on the Lake's 'The Constant'
Lyrics
The bend is on
The situation is critical or at a turning point.
This is the time and place
This moment is significant and specific.
We waited long
We've waited for this for a considerable amount of time.
But now the levy breaks
Now, the barrier or resistance breaks or fails.
And there's a song
There's a particular melody or expression.
I know I wrote for you
The singer composed a song specifically for someone.
It's sad and long
The song is melancholic and lengthy.
I hope it gives you pauze
The hope is that it brings a moment of reflection or pause to the listener.
And you will find
It's acknowledged that the singer fabricates stories or situations.
I make things up now
The fabrication of stories continues.
And you will find a lifetimes worth of being upset
There's a lifetime of accumulated distress or dissatisfaction.
Careful with your words I do remind you
Cautionary advice about the impact of words.
All I want's to take you where
The desire is to show someone a new experience.
I show you something new
The intention is to present something different or unique.
Hold on, you're so strong
Encouragement for someone who is resilient.
You need to catch me up
The singer needs to be updated or informed.
I need to give you up
The singer needs to let go or detach from something/someone.
Now come on, how will I ever know?
Expressing uncertainty about understanding another person's presence.
If you are there for me, when I go long
Questioning someone's reliability or support during difficult times.
Careful with your words I do remind you
Reminder about the impact of words on someone.
All I want's to take you where
The desire remains to introduce something new to someone.
I show you something new
The intention is to show a novel experience or perspective.
I punch at the markup
Fighting against the established rules or norms.
I listen to grace
Listening attentively to something divine or gracious.
I'm testing the water
Experimenting or trying something new for an extended period.
I do it for days
Persisting with an activity for days.
Cause you are the constant
Referring to someone as a constant presence or a reliable factor.
You come back new
That constant presence rejuvenates or returns as new.
And even when hidden
Even when concealed, that constant presence is visible or known.
I see through you
Seeing through the disguise or concealment of that constant presence.
Hold on, you're so strong
Encouragement for someone resilient.
You need to catch me up
The singer needs to be updated or informed.
I need to give you up
The singer needs to let go or detach from something/someone.
Now come on, how will I ever know?
Expressing uncertainty about understanding another person's presence.
If you are there for me, when I go long
Questioning someone's reliability or support during difficult times.
Careful with the words I do remind you
Reminder about the impact of words on someone.
All I want's to take you where
The desire remains to introduce something new to someone.
Show you something new
Expressing the wish to reveal or present something novel.
