See Your Face
Discovering Radiance: A Glimpse Beyond the Shadows
Lyrics
Like catching a glimpse of light from a canopy of stars
Comparing the experience to catching a glimpse of light amid a sky full of stars.
Or finding a golden ring from a vast treasure
Analogizing the discovery to finding a precious golden ring in a vast treasure trove.
That's what it must be like
Expressing the belief that the described experience is similar to something extraordinary.
Though I can't be sure
Acknowledging uncertainty about the nature of the experience.
That's what it must be like
Reiterating the earlier statement about the extraordinary nature of the experience.
Only so much more
Emphasizing that the experience is not just similar but much more profound.
Two-dimension, shadow-cast
Describing a two-dimensional, shadow-cast existence.
We see dimly through the glass
Portraying a limited understanding, seeing vaguely through a metaphorical glass.
When all these dim reflections pass
Suggesting that when unclear reflections pass, the speaker will see the divine face.
Then we'll see Your face
Anticipating the eventual sight of the divine face after the mentioned reflections.
Like standing ankle deep on the ocean shore
Drawing a parallel to standing on the shore, evoking a sense of proximity to the divine.
Or peering through the crack of an open door
Metaphorically peering through an open door, suggesting glimpses of the divine.
That's what it must be like
Reiterating the belief that the described experience is similar to something extraordinary.
To see you in this life
Expressing the desire to see the divine in this current life.
That's what it must be like
Reiterating the idea that the experience is not just similar but much more profound.
Only so much more
Empty line, serving as a pause or a separation between thoughts.
Two-dimension, shadow-cast
Reiterating the limited understanding, seeing dimly through a metaphorical glass.
We see dimly through the glass
Suggesting that clarity will come when unclear reflections pass.
When all these dim reflections pass
Anticipating the eventual sight of the divine face after the mentioned reflections.
Then we'll see Your face
Empty line, serving as a pause or a separation between thoughts.
You're more than I could ever imagine
Acknowledging the divine as beyond the speaker's imagination.
You're better than I could ever fathom
Acknowledging the divine as superior to what the speaker can comprehend.
You're more than I could ever imagine
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the divine surpassing imagination.
You're more than I could ever imagine
Repeating the idea that the divine is beyond what the speaker can imagine.
You're better than I could ever fathom
Emphasizing the divine's superiority beyond the speaker's fathoming.
More than I can imagine
Conveying that the divine is more than what the speaker can imagine.
More than I could ever fathom
Reiterating that the divine surpasses the speaker's ability to fathom.
