We Are Bound
Bound by Love: Exploring the Profound Meaning in Lydia Brownfield's 'We Are Bound'
Lyrics
We’re the fire that burns us
We represent the passion and intensity that can be destructive to ourselves.
And the cuts that make our scars
The experiences that cause us pain also contribute to our resilience, forming visible marks on us.
We are the love that heals us
Love plays a vital role in our healing process.
We're the space inside the stars
We inhabit the vastness and wonder within the universe.
We are the freed that jails us
Our own freedom can become a constraint when we impose judgments on ourselves.
When we pass our judgement down
We are responsible for passing judgments, potentially limiting ourselves.
We are the minds that teach us
Our thoughts and intellect contribute to our learning and growth.
And the ties that keep us bound
There are connections and commitments that bind us together.
And if we’re not down to make it for each other
If we are not supportive of each other, we won't succeed individually.
Then we’re not bound to make it on our own
Individual success is intertwined with collective support.
You know that we are bound, we are bound
The acknowledgment that we are connected and dependent on each other.
By love and loving one another
Our binding force is love, emphasized through caring for one another.
We are the joy that lifts us
We find joy in uplifting experiences.
And the heavy load we bear
We carry burdens and challenges that shape our character.
We are the songs that move us
Music and shared experiences create a sense of unity and connection.
All the pieces that we share
We share integral parts of ourselves, forming a collective identity.
We are the hands that calm us
Supportive actions and gestures provide comfort in difficult times.
When no solace can be found
Even in the absence of solace, we find support in each other's actions.
But we're the wars that kill us
Internal conflicts and battles can be self-destructive.
The only ones who keep us torn
We, ourselves, are the cause of internal strife and emotional turmoil.
If we’re not down to make it for each other
Success requires mutual commitment and support.
Then we’re not bound to make it on our own
Independence is unattainable without collective effort.
You know that we are bound, we are bound
A reaffirmation of our interdependence and connection through love.
By love and loving one another
The core of our unity is the love we have for one another.
If we’re not down to make it for each other
Reiteration that success requires mutual dedication and support.
Then we’re not bound to make it on our own
Emphasizes that individual success is linked to collective well-being.
We are bound by loving one another
A final statement reinforcing our connection through love and support.
We are more than each of us alone
Together, we possess a strength greater than each of us can achieve alone.
