Man Out Of Clay
Sculpting Love's Fragility: Man Out Of Clay by Liya Bombardier
Lyrics
Man out of clay a burden to shape
Creating a person with flaws is a challenging responsibility
Pray that I don't make the same mistakes as before
Hoping to avoid repeating past mistakes
Didn't know how it was your first time at love
Unaware of the complexities of love during the first experience
I've seen it all go to dust covering the floor
Witnessing the disintegration of something valuable
Remember the way I took you in when all you had to give was innocence
Recalling a time when offering innocence was all that could be given
Remember the way it falls apart
Reflecting on how things fall apart
How easy it is to break a heart
Recognizing the ease with which a heart can be broken
Remember the signs the fatal lines
Recollection of warning signs and dangerous paths
When you become someone you can't recognize
Losing oneself to the point of unrecognizability
Remember that love makes you blind
Love can blind one to reality
And not everyone is worth the time
Not everyone deserves the investment of time and emotions
Feared that you'd turn out this way
Fearing the negative transformation of a loved one
Feared what I'd do to you
Concern about causing harm to someone dear
Man out of clay can't say his name
A person molded from clay may lack a distinct identity
He's still learning how to control what he wants to say
Struggling to control expression and communication
He doesn't know where to start his second time at love
Uncertainty in approaching love for the second time
Clearly he forgot how the first one fell apart
Forgetting the lessons from a previous failed relationship
Try to
An incomplete thought or action
Remember the way I took you in when all you had to give was innocence
Recalling the acceptance of innocence in the past
Remember the way it falls apart
Reflecting on the fragility of relationships
How easy it is to break a heart
Acknowledging the ease with which hearts can be broken
Remember the signs the fatal lines
Remembering warning signs and boundaries
When you become someone you can't recognize
Warning against losing one's identity in love
Remember that love makes you blind
Love can blind individuals to reality
And not everyone is worth the time
Not everyone deserves the investment of time and emotions
Don't forget to call her back
Reminding not to neglect communication with a loved one
Don't forget to buy her flowers
Emphasizing the importance of small gestures in a relationship
Don't forget her favorite movie like you used to
Not forgetting the details that were once important
Don't forget you have to try
Encouraging effort despite difficulties in a relationship
Even though it's hard sometimes
Persisting in love despite challenges
If you love someone put up a fight
Advocating for fighting to maintain a relationship
Feared that I've messed you all up
Fearing personal responsibility for negatively influencing others
Feared I haven't done enough
Concern about not doing enough for someone
