Lyrics
It's a dark and empty room
Describing a somber and vacant space.
The sun beating hard on your door
The intensity of the sun knocking at someone's door, possibly representing challenges or pressures.
Feel emotion roar within you
An encouragement to acknowledge and express inner emotions passionately.
You're flesh and blood like anyone
Asserting the common humanity of the listener.
Make some sense of your life
Encouraging the listener to find meaning and order in their life.
Move your hand and make the mark
Taking action and leaving a mark on the world.
I don't know why you're so confused
Expressing confusion about the listener's behavior.
You're flesh and blood, there's no excuse
No justification for confusion, as everyone is human.
And the hunger inside
Referring to a deep, persistent desire or need.
Won't go away, it's starting to rise
The desire intensifies and becomes more apparent.
And the longer you hide
Delaying or avoiding facing issues.
The more you deny
Denial leads to greater problems.
And the sea rushes in
A metaphorical description of a powerful force entering one's life.
The wind is howling at your back
Strong external challenges and adversity.
The past is always overturned
The past is constantly disrupted or changed.
It's a dead man who would refuse
Resisting change is akin to spiritual death.
And twice the man to fill his shoes
Being doubly responsible when someone is gone.
And the hunger inside
Reiteration of the persistent inner desire or need.
Won't go away it's starting to rise
The desire becomes more intense.
And the longer you hide
Continued avoidance leads to greater challenges.
The more you deny
Denial exacerbates the situation.
And the hunger inside
Reiteration of the deep, persistent desire or need.
Won't go away it's starting to rise
The desire intensifies further.
And the sea rushes in
A repetition of the metaphorical force entering one's life.
Into my world
The force affects the speaker's world.
I can feel the king tide coming
Sensing a powerful and transformative event approaching.
All my senses overflowing
The impact of the approaching event on all senses.
One night waiting out the back
A specific moment of anticipation or preparation.
Horns'll blow and cymbals crash
An intense and vibrant musical or emotional experience.
So paint a circle in the sky
Symbolic creation or manifestation of something extraordinary.
I lay breathless in the arms of love
A state of vulnerability and surrender in love.
There's a bruise on my back
A physical and emotional mark of a past experience.
And a new understanding too
Gaining a new understanding from the experience.
