Holding Space
Navigating Love's Depths: Holding Space by Luke Adamson
Lyrics
Walk through the open door for me
Invitation to enter a new opportunity or phase in life.
The waters warm in the ocean
Assurance that the environment is welcoming and comfortable.
When it's an overcrowded sea
Metaphor for facing challenges among many others.
I'll show you how to take a two and make it three
Ability to turn a situation of two possibilities into something greater.
'Cause I don't know where my heart is
Uncertainty about emotions or feelings.
Come quick and try it on for me
Request to try or experience something on behalf of the singer.
'Cause I'm too scared of the mirror
Fear of self-reflection and facing inner struggles.
And of the monster I might be
Concern about the potential negative aspects of oneself.
You would be too if you had seen the things I've seen
Implying that witnessing traumatic events impacts one's perspective.
I just don't know where my heart is
Continued uncertainty about personal feelings or emotions.
So take all your loving
Encouragement to share affection or care.
And set it free
Release of affection or care without expecting anything in return.
But hold a little space for me
Request to reserve a portion of affection or space despite letting go.
Dive deep but don't you swim too fast
Advice to explore deeply but cautiously.
'Cause I see sharks in the water
Perception of potential threats or dangers in the surroundings.
Circling for the attack
Feeling surrounded or targeted by potential harm or negativity.
Now let me save you with my hands around your neck
Metaphorical attempt to protect but also cause harm simultaneously.
Then I let go of you
Letting go of the protective stance or control.
And all your dreams come true
Unknown outcomes or unfulfilled understanding about emotions.
I'll never know where my heart is
Continued uncertainty about personal emotions or feelings.
So take all your loving
Reiteration of releasing affection or care without expecting reciprocation.
And set it free
Request to preserve a space despite letting go.
But hold a little space for me
Reiteration of reserving a space despite detachment.
For me
Emphasis on the personal request for space to be held.
I wanted to be free a fish under the sea
Desire for freedom and independence but unable to receive necessary support.
But you could never be my giving tree
Feeling unable to receive the needed nurturing or support.
It's harder to define I wish I could rewind
Wishing to redefine a situation and longing for a chance to change the past.
I never had a chance to make you mine
Regret for not having the opportunity to create a deeper connection.
To make you mine
Repeated desire to establish a personal connection.
To make you mine
Reiteration of longing to establish a personal connection.
You'll never be mine
Acceptance or acknowledgment that a desired connection will not occur.
