Echoes of Love and Loss: Unveiling the Tale in Matt Mueller's Slate
Lyrics
When a man feels blood, and fire in his eyes
Describing a man's intense emotions and determination.
There's nothing to hold him down
Nothing can restrain or confine him.
But the sins of some, a choir of lies
Referring to the consequences of others' wrongdoing and deception.
They'll make him swim until he drowns
These consequences will burden him until he's overwhelmed.
Deja, deja vu, another note I leave for you
A feeling of repetition, leaving a message or communication.
There's nothing new with the horses or the gate
Emphasizing familiarity with certain elements from the past.
That we painted back in June, oh, the lilies blossomed too
Recalling a specific time in the past when things blossomed.
I brought them for you and I'll see that they won't blow away
An offering to preserve something precious and enduring.
Now I've seen the sun, set in bloodshot skies
Observation of a dramatic sunset.
I've heard the moon resound
Noteworthy and resonating sounds from nature.
And the hymns of some, ain't more than sighs
Expressions of emotion and disappointment that fall short.
What's left beneath the clouds
Wondering what remains hidden or obscured.
Deja, deja vu, another note I leave for you
A sense of repetition in leaving a message or communication.
There's nothing new with the horses or the gate
Highlighting familiarity with past experiences or scenes.
That we painted back in June, oh, the lilies blossomed too
Reflecting on a specific time in the past when things flourished.
I brought them for you and I'll see that they won't blow away
An assurance to protect something from being lost or forgotten.
Now dirt has turned to mud, so I hired some size
Transformation from a less severe situation to a messier one.
To help till and unearth the ground
Seeking help to work through difficulties and reveal truths.
And I think our love's keeping me alive
A belief that love sustains despite the partner's silent efforts.
Though you work without a sound
An acknowledgment of the partner's silent contribution.
And our kids are okay
Reassurance about the well-being of their children.
They don't say much these days
Observation of a lack of communication from the children.
Deja, deja vu, another note I leave for you
A repetition of leaving a message or communication.
There's nothing new with the horses or the gate
Recalling familiarity with past experiences or scenes.
That we painted back in June, oh, the lilies blossomed too
Reflection on a time in the past when things thrived.
I brought them for you and I'll see that they won't blow away
A reaffirmation to safeguard something meaningful.
Though your slate still looks the same
Commenting on the unchanged appearance or status.
Sure was nice seeing you today
An expression of pleasure at meeting the person today.
