Sway
Swaying Towers of Emotion: Modern Diet's Poetic Odyssey
Lyrics
Search in a shattered field
Searching within a shattered field
fractured and partly peeled away
Field is broken and partially peeled away
all in black and white
World depicted in black and white
Feel for a surface there
Seeking a surface clean enough for a spire
clean enough to wear your spire
Surface clean enough to wear a spire
spend another night
Spending another night
Wake all my colors up
Waking up all colors, including pale blues and purples
pale blues and purples from
Colors from before being drained
before she ever bled them dry
Reference to a past experience of emotional drainage
Drink to the night ahead
Toasting to the night ahead
a new start a silent bed behaves
A new beginning, a quiet bed as a canvas
as host to your construction site
Bed symbolizing a construction site for personal growth
Pile on the wood blocks
Building up wood blocks, scraping the sky
make them scrape the sky
Symbolic act of creating something substantial
I am in the shadow
Existing in the shadow, feeling small
shiver at the size
Feeling overwhelmed by the magnitude of life
Can you see it swaying
Observing a swaying motion with spoken words
with every word you blow
Words influencing the observed swaying
I can hear you whisper
Hearing whispers, potential intimacy or secrets
We might be to close
Proximity causing a sense of potential closeness
When the tower goes up in smoke
Anticipation of a collapse or significant change
Sink at your own expense
Sinking with consequences, not expecting an easy outcome
I no not expect a light
No expectation of a guiding light
on the other side
No assurance of a positive outcome
Fall at a steady pace
Falling at a steady pace, not a race to win
this is not a race to win
Life not viewed as a competition
or a test of time
Time not perceived as a test
Dive with an arm above
Diving with an arm above, holding onto love despite bleeding
hold on to the love that bleeds
Enduring love that seeps through difficulties
through holes on your ragged sleeve
Love depicted as bleeding through worn emotions
Rage in a spiral way
Raging in a spiral manner, winding up days
winding up the days
Days tightly bound by emotional intensity
as tight as your heart allows
Limiting emotions to what the heart allows
Pile on the wood blocks
Building wood blocks, scraping the sky once more
make them scrape the sky
Continuing the symbolic act of creation
I am in the shadow
Existing in the shadow, still feeling small
shiver at the size
Continued sense of being overwhelmed
Can you see it swaying
Observing swaying with spoken words persistently
with every word you blow
Words continuing to influence the observed swaying
I can hear you whisper
Hearing whispers, reiterating potential intimacy or secrets
We might be to close
Proximity still causing a sense of potential closeness
When the tower goes up in smoke
Anticipating a significant change or collapse, mirroring earlier lines
