Stand in the World
Navigating Love's Void: Stand in a World of Disconnect
Lyrics
I stand above you
I position myself above you
It's the only way that I can love you
Expressing that this elevated position is the only way I can express love for you
Listening to all the noise you make
Acknowledging and absorbing all the noise and commotion you create
When will the day come
Wondering when the day will come for my return to my origin
When I can when I return to where I am from
Anticipating the moment when I don't have to listen to what you say
And I don't have to hear what you say
Desiring freedom from hearing your words
Stand in the world for me now
Requesting someone to represent me in the world
I don't feel love I don't know how
Expressing a lack of love and uncertainty about how to feel it
Stand in the world for me now
Repetition of the request for representation
I don't feel love I don't know how
Reiteration of the emotional struggle with love
Sorrow has paved the way for the person you are today
Noting that sorrow has shaped the present version of oneself
But no one else seems to be sorry at all
Observing the lack of remorse in others despite personal sorrow
And the streets are too crowded now
Commenting on the overcrowded streets
And the static has shown me how
Reflecting on the impact of noise and chaos on mental state
To shut my mind and laugh as they pray
Learning to shut off one's mind and find amusement in the prayers of others
Stand in the world for me now
Reiterating the plea for someone to stand in the world on behalf
I don't feel love I don't know how
Reaffirming the emotional numbness and uncertainty about love
Stand in the world for me now
Repeat of the request for representation
I don't feel love I don't know how
Reiteration of the struggle with feeling love
She got me again
Referring to being affected or captivated by someone again
She stands at the door
Describing someone standing at the door
But I won't go in
Declaring the decision not to enter
I won't go in
Reiteration of the choice not to enter
Stand in the world for me now
Repeating the plea for representation in the world
I don't feel love I don't know how stand in the world for me now
Expressing the ongoing struggle with feeling love
I don't feel love I don't know how
Reiteration of the emotional challenge with love
