Open the Door
Unlocking Memories: Exploring the Depths of 'Open the Door' by N. Sherman
Lyrics
I built the walls without windows
I constructed barriers without windows
In front of the flowers outside
In front of the flowers outdoors
I brushed away all the webs I could see
I cleared away visible cobwebs
The silence was louder than usual
The silence was more pronounced than usual
I filled it with all I could find
I filled the silence with everything I could find
Tearing it down and re-building
Tearing down and rebuilding, merely to pass the time
Just to pass the time
Engaging in construction activities for the sake of passing time
Open the door again
Encouraging the act of reopening a closed door
What will you find?
Prompting curiosity about what lies behind the reopened door
Open the door again
Reiterating the call to reopen the door
All of these endless revisions
Reflecting on numerous repeated modifications or edits
Pacing around to and fro
Moving back and forth, likely in contemplation or restlessness
I heard a voice once familiar to me
Hearing a once familiar voice
It looked like a memory forgotten
Seeing something resembling a forgotten memory
Blurring the lines of the light
Blurring the boundaries between light and darkness
Tracing the ground with your eyes
Tracing the ground with your eyes, possibly in a thoughtful manner
Slowly up to mine
Slowly moving gaze upward to meet mine
Open the door again
Reiterating the call to reopen the door
What will you find?
Wondering about the discoveries behind the reopened door
Open the door again
Reiterating the question of what will be found behind the door
What will you find?
Persistently asking what one will find upon reopening the door
Open the door again
Reiterating the call to reopen the door
What will you find?
Persistently questioning what lies behind the door
Open the door
Emphasizing the act of opening the door
