Promised Land
Navigating Shadows: Lucy Kruger's Journey Through Existence
Lyrics
I haven't found an illusion
I have not discovered a deceptive appearance or false belief
That works for me
No illusion has proven effective for me
I haven't found a common ground
I have not found a shared understanding or basis
That stays beneath my feet
There is no stable foundation beneath me
I'm in sinking sand
I am in an unstable or difficult situation
And the Promised Land
The ideal place or situation (Promised Land) is elusive
Is barely a mirage
What seems like the Promised Land is just a deceptive illusion
Too small to fall apart
The Promised Land is too insignificant to disintegrate
And God is still a man
God is depicted as human
And I'm still fearful of his plans
There is a fear or apprehension regarding God's plans
I haven't found a season
I have not found a particular time or phase
That splits my seed
No season has significantly impacted my growth or development
I feel the corners curling here
Sensations of discomfort or unease in personal space
Between my sheets
A metaphorical reference to the intimate space between sheets
Dressed in cotton wool
Describing oneself adorned in comfort but fragile
A baby tooth a plastic pearl
Symbolic items representing innocence and vulnerability
And when this pale chest is full
Upon reaching maturity, expressing a desire to create music or art
I'll pluck you out song
A pledge to share one's creation once matured
And you can sing along
Inviting others to participate in the creative process
I cut of all my hair to find the boy in me
A radical change to discover one's true self
I twisted up my legs to hide the best of me
Physical contortions to conceal the true nature
I'm a greedy girl
A self-aware acknowledgment of one's material desires
And my limbs are full
A sense of fulfillment or satisfaction in one's physical presence
Why don't you come into my room
Inviting someone into the speaker's personal space
And see what you can use
Encouraging exploration of what can be utilized or embraced
