I've Been Loved
Embracing Love's Journey: Mikal Cronin's 'I've Been Loved' Explained
Lyrics
Wait
Expressing anticipation or a pause in the narrative.
A circle moves in front of me
Describing a circular motion or pattern in the speaker's surroundings.
And the fuel
Suggesting a source of energy or motivation.
Burns away
Referring to the consumption or utilization of fuel, possibly metaphorical.
And I know
Acknowledging a sense of inner tranquility or contentment.
There's peace inside the open flame
Imagining a place where peace is found within the metaphorical open flame.
Maybe there we can stay
Expressing a desire to remain in the aforementioned state of peace.
But I'm know, sitting alone in a silent room
Contrasting the previous calmness with the current feeling of solitude in a quiet space.
So I say
Indicating the speaker is about to communicate something.
I've loved, I've been lost, I've been locked inside my mind
Reflecting on experiences of love, loss, and mental confinement.
I can feel when it's real and it's been with me all this time
Recognizing the ability to perceive genuine emotions and experiences.
I've been lucky enough to find love of a different kind
Expressing gratitude for discovering a unique form of love.
Give me faith, I feel the ceiling slip away
Requesting faith and describing a sensation of barriers breaking down.
And the rain slows
Observing a slowing down of rain, possibly symbolizing positive change.
There's a chance today you find your open door
Encouraging the possibility of finding new opportunities or solutions.
And I'm here, here to hold
Expressing readiness to provide support or comfort.
Who'd have known, feeling alone in a crowded room
Contrasting a sense of loneliness with being in a crowded space.
Can say
Empty line, indicating another pause or transition.
I've loved, I've been lost, I've been locked inside my mind
Reiterating the themes of love, loss, and mental confinement.
I can feel when it's real and it's been with me all this time
Affirming the ability to recognize genuine emotions and experiences over time.
I've been lucky enough to find love of a different kind
Repeating gratitude for discovering a unique form of love.
I've loved, I've been lost, I've been locked inside my mind
Reiterating the experiences of love, loss, and mental confinement.
I can feel when it's real and it's been with me all this time
Affirming the lasting presence of genuine emotions and experiences.
I've been lucky enough to find love of a different kind
Repeating gratitude for finding a distinctive kind of love.
