Lyrics
How can I talk to you
Expressing a desire to communicate
I step into your glory
Entering a divine or revered presence
I step into the house
Symbolic entry into a sacred space
House of David's light
Referring to the divine light associated with the House of David
How can I talk to you
Reiteration of the desire to communicate
It's the same story
Highlighting the recurring nature of the situation
Ashrey yoshvey beyseho
Quoting a biblical phrase meaning "Happy are those who dwell in Your house"
Teach me to love, teach me to love
Request for guidance in learning to love
Avraham, Avraham,
Reference to the biblical figure Abraham
Take your son, take your blade, take your rope
Command to Abraham to sacrifice his son
Three long nights, three long days
Duration of the challenging ordeal
And approach to the mountain of the Lord
Approaching the mountain of the Lord as part of the command
Yes you've been here times before
Recognition of prior experiences in a similar context
In your dreams, fantasies, realities, they all bleed
Acknowledgment of the intertwining of dreams, fantasies, and realities
Ayeka
Pose a question meaning "Where are you?"
Teach me to love
Reiteration of the request for guidance in learning to love
Ayeka
Repetition of the question "Where are you?"
Avraham, Avraham,
Repetition of the command to Abraham
Take your son, take your blade, take your rope
Repetition of the instruction to sacrifice
Three long nights, three long days
Reiteration of the duration of the challenging ordeal
And approach to the mountain of the Lord
Repetition of approaching the mountain of the Lord
Yes you've been here times before
Reiteration of past experiences in a similar context
In your dreams, your fantasies, realities, yea they all bleed
Repetition of the acknowledgment of intertwining experiences
Teach me to love
Final plea for guidance in learning to love
Ayeka
Repetition of the question "Where are you?"
