Loving You Well
Silent Nights: Unveiling the Depths of Love and Time
Lyrics
It's hard to find a friend
Expresses difficulty in finding genuine friendship.
It's hard to love it's easy to pretend
Contrasts the challenge of loving with the ease of pretending.
Make it up my body's nobody
Suggests a sense of self-discovery and acceptance of one's body.
My tired mind
Refers to mental exhaustion or weariness.
Gotta stop myself from thinkin' all the time
Describes a struggle to stop constant thoughts.
Of the forest fires all around me
Metaphorically references challenges like forest fires.
The deep dark mines where I fell
Touches on difficult experiences in deep, dark places.
But it's the silent nights
Highlights the impact of quiet nights on introspection.
Oh, when you're sleeping
Refers to the speaker's contemplation while the partner sleeps.
That I can't help ask am I loving you well?
Raises the question of whether the speaker loves well during silent nights.
The bastard brutal beating of the clock
Describes the relentless and harsh passage of time.
A day, a year, a decade shaded off
Reflects on the difficulty of grasping significant periods.
I find it so damn hard to turn and see
Expresses the challenge of looking back on life.
The miles stretching back behind me
Refers to the extensive journey of life behind the speaker.
The race is on to be faster
Touches on the societal pressure to be faster in life.
'Cause speed is all that they sell
Links speed to societal values and expectations.
But it's the silent nights
Reiterates the impact of silent nights on self-reflection.
Oh, and you're sleeping either fast or slow
Expands on the speaker's contemplation during the partner's sleep.
Am I loving you well?
Repeats the question of whether the speaker loves well.
It's the future now, like you never imagined
Comments on the unpredictability of the present and future.
So much has changed, everything is the same
Contrasts significant changes with the underlying sameness.
Your voice is deep, your eyes are pure silver
Describes the partner's voice and eyes metaphorically.
And the children smile from the photo frames
Highlights joy in the form of children's smiles in photos.
And there's a steadiness to the noises
Emphasizes a calm and regular background in life.
Just a creaking house, I can live with myself
Acceptance of oneself within the familiar sounds of a house.
In the silent nights
Reiterates the impact of silent nights on introspective moments.
We're both deep sleepin'
Describes a shared deep sleep between partners.
But we're holding hands
Emphasizes physical connection through holding hands.
I'm loving you well
Confirms the speaker's commitment to loving the partner well.
