The Clearing
Embers of Reflection: Navigating Love's Clearing
Lyrics
Just one drop will bring the whole house down
Cautioning about the potential destructive impact of a small action.
God only knows, you can't stop the sound
Acknowledging the inevitability of certain consequences, suggesting lack of control.
Of the outside coming inside
Describing the intrusion of external influences into one's personal space or thoughts.
Can't un-hear it once it's said out loud
Highlighting the irreversible nature of spoken words, once expressed aloud.
And you shoulda known better
Repetition emphasizing a missed opportunity or failure to foresee consequences.
you shoulda known better
-you shoulda known better
-you shoulda known better by now
-After the fires went out
Referring to a challenging period followed by the need to construct a new beginning in a clear space.
That's when the rain came
-Whatever we're gonna be now, love
-We gotta build it in the clearing
-Just one spark'll take the whole town out
Drawing parallels to the potential devastation caused by a single influential event.
God only knows, you can't stop us now
Reiterating the inability to prevent certain outcomes, suggesting a loss of control.
Can't un-say it once you've drawn the crowd
Stressing the irreversible nature of words spoken in public.
And we shoulda known better
Repetition emphasizing the hindsight realization of missed opportunities or mistakes.
we shoulda known better
-we shoulda known better
-we shoulda known better by now
-After the fires went out
Reflecting on a transformative experience (fires and rain) and the need to rebuild in a clear space.
That's when the rain came
-Whatever we're gonna be now, love
-We gotta build it in the clearing
-And I know it's my privilege
Expressing an awareness of both privilege and burden, including the consequences of actions and seeking forgiveness.
And I know it's my burden
-To be burned by the sleeping
-And to beg for forgiveness
-After the fires went out
Recalling a past difficult period, emphasizing the necessity to construct a new path in a clear space.
That's when the rain came
-Whatever we're gonna be now, love
-We gotta build it in the clearing
