Obi's Chair
Dancing Through Desires: Mark Geary's Obi's Chair Unveiled
Lyrics
Fire under feet
Intense passion or urgency symbolized by "fire under feet."
The sensual toe tapping up your street
A rhythmic and alluring movement, possibly referring to romantic attraction.
It's torn asunder, it's torn
Something has been broken or disrupted, suggesting emotional turmoil.
It's in the tombs where lovers meet and
Love and intimacy depicted in a symbolic setting, the tombs where lovers meet.
They curse the gods that they would seek another
Lovers expressing regret or dissatisfaction with their choices.
It may come later, it may
The arrival of consequences, uncertainty about when they will manifest.
For most of us the summer sun
Contrast between carefree summer experiences and the impending challenges.
Bikini lines and having great fun
Reference to leisurely activities and the superficial aspects of life.
For most of us who learn to wake
The realization that some are left behind in life's journey.
Get left behind in providence too late
Being abandoned or overlooked in a place called "providence."
It's out and over, and out
An unequivocal end, possibly of a relationship or phase in life.
It's carpet burns but we're discrete
Physical discomfort portrayed metaphorically as "carpet burns."
We haven't learned to hide our faces when we meet
Failure to conceal emotions or reactions when facing others.
And all those things you stole from me
A transaction or exchange involving personal possessions or feelings.
I gave them back to your family
Returning what was taken, but the family remains unaware.
But they don't know
A lack of understanding or awareness regarding the emotional turmoil.
What's got into you
Questioning the reasons behind someone's actions or changed behavior.
'Cause you forgot to tell them that we're through
The revelation that a relationship has ended without proper communication.
