Don't Get Too Close
Guarded Heart: A Song of Defenses
Lyrics
I got words as cruel as snipers
I possess words that are harsh and cutting, similar to snipers.
Sharp as falcons slicing air
My words are as sharp and precise as falcons cutting through the air.
Waiting just to take you down
These words are waiting to criticize or attack you the moment you approach.
The very second you get near
The criticism is immediate as soon as you get close.
Quiet like a minefield
I am quiet and subtle in causing harm, akin to a minefield. Trespassers should be cautious.
Trespassers beware
A warning to those who might cross boundaries, emphasizing the need for caution.
Don't get too close
An explicit instruction to avoid getting too close, reinforcing the theme of caution.
I got walls as wide as Jericho
My emotional barriers are as formidable as the walls of Jericho.
Just you try to break 'em down
Challenging others to attempt breaking down these emotional walls.
I can see you hoarse and footsore
Despite the challenges, observing the person persistently moving forward, determined.
Still you keep on marching round
Continuing to march forward despite exhaustion and hardships.
Go ahead drag that old ark
A metaphorical reference to an old ark, perhaps symbolizing emotional baggage.
and sound your trumpet, scream out loud
Encouraging a dramatic expression of emotion, but the impact is futile.
March yourself into the ground
A warning that persistent efforts may lead to personal exhaustion and defeat.
But don't get too close
Reiterating the instruction to maintain a distance and not become emotionally involved.
I got a head as hard as hatred
Describing a mind that is as unyielding as intense hatred.
So you'd have to drill a hole
Suggesting that breaking through emotional barriers would require a significant effort.
For your random acts of kindness
Acts of kindness are unlikely to penetrate and affect the core of my being.
To drip down into my soul
The refusal to be influenced or changed, maintaining control over emotions.
Give up you'll never wear me down, I refuse to lose control
Expressing determination and resistance against attempts to break emotional defenses.
It's laughable, beyond pitiful
Mocking the attempts as laughable and pitiful.
Watchin' you trying to squeeze love from stone
Observing futile efforts to extract love from a seemingly unresponsive or cold person.
For the heart of the deepest darkest glacier
Comparing emotional coldness to the heart of the deepest and darkest glacier.
Could never be this cold
Emphasizing the extreme emotional coldness, asserting that it cannot be surpassed.
So don't get too close
A repetition of the warning to maintain a safe distance emotionally.
Just keep your distance
An additional emphasis on the importance of keeping a distance.
Don't get too close
A final reminder to avoid getting too close.
