Wild Winds
Chasing Shadows: Unveiling the Poetic Tale of 'Wild Winds' by Nathan Ball
Lyrics
Wild Winds
Introduction to the theme of unpredictable and untamed forces symbolized by "Wild Winds."
I can’t find a way
Expressing difficulty in finding a solution or path.
I can’t find a way through the night.
Struggling through a challenging period represented by the metaphor of the night.
Hours turn to days,
Highlighting the passage of time and the lingering nature of difficulties.
I'm still just a shadow to your light.
Feeling overshadowed and unnoticed in comparison to someone else's light.
Then I see you come alive as the storm swept through your mind,
Observing someone coming alive amidst a mental storm, suggesting resilience.
by the door you were there, holding your breath
Depicting a moment of tension or anticipation, holding one's breath.
as the darkness stole your eyes I was searching for the light,
Conveying the struggle to find light in the midst of darkness and confusion.
I kept calling your name, I thought you would wait
Expressing a sense of urgency and expectation, calling out for someone.
And we go where the wild winds blow
Exploring the unpredictable nature of life by going where the wild winds blow.
And the cold rips through the old windows
Describing the harsh reality and challenges symbolized by the cold ripping through old windows.
And the water meets your eyes when the tide comes in
Depicting a moment of vulnerability when emotions well up and become visible.
when will I see you again ?
Pose a question about the uncertainty of future encounters.
Truth is hard to face,
Acknowledging the difficulty of confronting the truth.
I’m falling to my knees on the floor
Expressing a profound emotional struggle, possibly a sense of defeat.
Time is mine to waste,
Commenting on the inescapable nature of time and its influence on behavior.
it keeps me crawling back to your door
Indicating a pattern of returning to a source of emotional pain or attachment.
We were lonely for a while, I found comfort in your smile
Recalling a period of loneliness and finding solace in someone's smile.
you had flowers in your hair and holes in your dress
Contrasting beauty with imperfection, reflected in flowers and holes.
took a bottle full of wine, poured our souls out through the night
Describing a shared experience of vulnerability through pouring out emotions.
I could have sworn you were there, your head on my chest
Recalling a moment of intimacy and closeness.
And we go where the wild winds blow
Reiteration of the theme of navigating unpredictable challenges.
And the cold rips through the old windows
Re-emphasizing the harshness of reality symbolized by cold winds through old windows.
And the water meets your eyes when the tide comes in
Repeating the imagery of emotional vulnerability as water meets the eyes.
when will I see you again?
Pose the question again, expressing uncertainty about future reunions.
