Lament of the Blessed: Unveiling the Soul's Journey through Triumph and Loss
Lyrics
Let me rock you in my arms
Expressing a desire to comfort and embrace the listener.
I'll hold you safe and small
Promising to provide a secure and nurturing space.
A refugee from the Seraphim
Describing the listener as someone who has escaped from heavenly beings.
With your rich girl rags and all
Acknowledging the listener's affluent background despite challenges.
Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
Questioning whether the listener's aspirations were thwarted at an early age.
Did you reach too high and fall?
Wondering if the listener aimed too high and faced a downfall.
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
Stating that those blessed by God do not experience rest.
And He blessed you best of all
Acknowledging that the listener has been particularly blessed by God.
Your eyes seem from a different face
Noting a change in the listener's eyes, possibly due to life experiences.
They've seen that much that soon
Suggesting that the listener has witnessed a lot in a short span.
Your cheek's too cold, too pale to shine
Describing the listener's cheek as cold and lacking radiance.
Like an old and waning moon
Comparing the listener to an old and fading moon.
And there is no peace, no true release
Asserting that there is no true peace or release for the listener.
No secret place to crawl
Highlighting the absence of a hidden refuge for solace.
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
Reiterating that those blessed by God do not find rest.
And He blessed you best of all
Reaffirming that the listener is blessed by God in a unique way.
If tears unshed could heal your heart
Contemplating if unshed tears could bring healing to the listener's heart.
If words unsaid could sway
Pondering if unspoken words could influence the listener.
Watch you melt into the night
Imagining the listener dissolving into the night with farewell and regret.
With adieu and rue the day
Suggesting a poignant departure and reflection on past events.
Did your dreams die young, were they too hard won
Repeating the inquiry about the premature end of the listener's dreams.
Did you reach too high and fall?
Repeating the question of whether the listener aimed too high and fell.
And there is no rest for the ones God blessed
Reiterating the absence of rest for those blessed by God.
And He blessed you best of all
Reaffirming that the listener holds a unique and special blessing from God.
