4 Walls
Ephemeral Echoes: Embracing Nature's Symphony
Lyrics
Another perfect ending to another perfect day
Reflecting on the end of a perfect day
tomorrow’s found me waiting, expecting it that way
Anticipating tomorrow with the expectation of perfection
you may want 4 walls, well, I need a place to stay
Expressing a personal need for a place to stay
but when the birds are singing, it’s hard to keep away
Struggling to resist the allure of nature when surrounded by its beauty
I sit among the music of nature’s finest band
Immersed in the sounds of nature's orchestra
symphony of earth life is trembling in our hands
Acknowledging the fragility of Earth's ecosystems in human hands
take me, oh half moon, sheer glass and diving duck
Invoking natural elements like the half moon, sheer glass, and diving duck
bring me through the mist and drop me like a rock
Desiring a journey through mist and a sudden descent
I’ll soar downward through water grey and calm
Descending through calm waters, cleansing oneself
land on the bottom wash the blood off of my palms
Symbolic act of purification through immersion
you still want 4 walls, I guess I need them too
Recognizing the desire for a stable environment, acknowledging personal need
If I leave these 4 walls I’d be leaving you
Linking the concept of leaving physical walls with leaving a person
I’ll swim with you, oh beaver, the geese will ask me south
Connecting with nature, mentioning swimming with a beaver
to winter in the sunshine, snowflakes in my mouth
Being guided by natural elements towards a winter destination
I surface to the cold world, I gasp and look around
Emerging into the cold world after a submerged experience
In the blooming of the dogwood eternity is found
Finding eternity in the blossoming of a dogwood
Soaking up last moments, another perfect day
Reflecting on the perfection of moments, despite challenges
all the mess and heartache, I’ve got tears to give away
Acknowledging both the mess and heartache, expressing readiness to share tears
I’m waiting for a voice, I’ve heard it here before
Waiting for a familiar voice, possibly a spiritual connection
this sparkling winter water holds me to its shore
Describing a connection to winter water, emphasizing attachment to the present
