Meet Me In the Red Sky
Red Sky Reunion: Embracing Blame and Redemption
Lyrics
I promised with every breath
I made a promise with deep conviction and sincerity.
With every word I say
Every spoken word is part of this commitment.
Solace and sympathy
Comfort and understanding.
You give me all the blame I can take
You attribute all the blame I can handle.
All you are
Referring to the person as a whole.
All you can take for yourself
You take all you can for your benefit.
All you can give
You offer everything you can give.
All I can forgive
I can forgive all that you do.
Meet me in the red sky
A symbolic meeting in a challenging or intense situation represented by the "red sky."
See me cross the water
I will be there as you navigate difficulties.
I'll find you when you're under
I'll support you in times of trouble.
Hold you when you're feeling down
I'll comfort you when you're feeling low.
Hold you when you're under before you fall asunder
I'll be there to hold you before you face destruction or separation.
Meet me in the great red sky
A repetition, emphasizing the meeting in a challenging situation.
I get closer with every step
I'm getting closer with every move I make.
With every prayer I say
Every prayer brings me nearer to you.
Curse my identity
Expressing dissatisfaction or distress with one's own identity.
Then paint me all in white, I'm to blame
Despite faults, symbolically seeking purification or absolution.
