Denial
Embracing Truth: Luke Concannon's Journey Through Pain and Redemption
Lyrics
Will you help me out
Request for assistance or support.
I am running from this pain
Expressing a desire to escape emotional pain.
will you touch me now
Seeking physical comfort or connection.
running from mistakes I made
Avoiding and fleeing from past mistakes.
long ago
Reflecting on heartbreaks and difficult times.
heartbreaks and rain
Associating heartbreaks with rain, suggesting emotional turmoil.
when I was a confused youth
Recalling a time of confusion and uncertainty in youth.
I wish I had been braver
Expressing regret for not being more courageous in the past.
wish I'd spoken my truth
Regret for not expressing one's truth earlier.
We buried our heads in sand
Metaphorically burying heads in the sand, avoiding reality.
made a mess of my hometown
Acknowledging making mistakes in one's hometown.
with our Mud skyscrapers
Describing chaotic and unsustainable constructions ("Mud skyscrapers").
the Earth shook and they came down
Consequences of poor choices leading to destruction.
oh the wounded lay in ruble
Depicting the aftermath of destruction, with wounded people.
letting their madness go
Suggesting the release of madness or chaos.
you gotta sing your true song
Encouraging authenticity and expressing oneself truthfully.
or be food for the crows
Metaphorically emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself.
Why is it so scary to say what I mean
Expressing fear or difficulty in being honest and direct.
why is it so scary to really be seen
Questioning the challenges of being truly visible or authentic.
oh I need kind hands around me
Desiring supportive and caring companionship.
dancing at the party with trusting friends getting free
Envisioning a joyful and liberating experience with trusted friends.
I want to forgive
Expressing a desire for forgiveness.
let the rain wash o'er us
Metaphorically using rain to cleanse and renew.
grow a home and live
Desiring growth, a sense of home, and a sustainable life.
in a greening Forrest
Imagining a harmonious life in a green forest, symbolizing nature.
to hear
Listening for and acknowledging hidden fears.
the cowering fears
Reflecting on the impact of past conflicts and struggles.
the warfare of our past
Anticipating a hopeful and patient wait for positive change.
and smiling wait here for you
Expressing a commitment to future generations and shared joy.
with our children at this dance
Envisioning a positive and celebratory future with children.
