Hand on My Heart
Eternal Yearning: Nightjacket's Melodic Odyssey of Love and Longing
Lyrics
We got our start on the silver street
We started our journey on the metaphorical "silver street."
With all the sages and palms
Among wise individuals and serenity.
And in the day we lie down to sleep
During the day, we rest with music playing on the turntable.
With the turntable on
Symbolizing a continuous connection to music.
And when you went on your way
When you departed, I didn't request you to stay.
I didn't ask you to stay
Expressing a sense of detachment or acceptance.
We made our way to the kingdom keep
We journeyed to a place of opulence and allure.
Fall into beauty and gold
Immersing ourselves in beauty and wealth.
We drink the wine and blow the smoke
We indulged in pleasures, like drinking wine and smoking.
Fill up the empty & cold
Filling the emotional void with these experiences.
But when you went on your way
When you left, I couldn't request your return.
I couldn't ask you to stay
Reflecting a sense of longing or missed opportunity.
Hey, got my hand on my heart hope to die
Expressing sincerity with "hand on heart, hope to die."
You've got your mind and your eyes on the sky
You are focused on your aspirations and vision.
Yeah, hold your hand to my heart hope to die
Reiterating sincerity and commitment.
I'll keep your head and your heart in the sky
Pledging to keep thoughts and emotions elevated.
I made my way on the silver street
I continue my journey on the symbolic silver street.
I walk from dusk to the dawn
Walking through challenges from dusk till dawn.
Without you here I will never sleep
Without you, sleep is elusive, but the dream persists.
I keep the dream moving on
Symbolizing determination and persistence.
And when you come back my way
Anticipating your return with hope for permanence.
I'll hope that this time you'll stay
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection.
Hey, got my hand on my heart hope to die
Reiterating sincerity with "hand on heart, hope to die."
You've got your mind and your eyes on the sky
Your focus remains on your aspirations and the sky.
Yeah, hold your hand to my heart hope to die
Continued commitment and sincerity.
I'll keep your head and your heart in the sky
Pledging to keep thoughts and emotions elevated.
Friend or foe
Addressing the ambiguity of relationships, friend or foe.
I held my hand out for you
Extending a helping hand despite uncertainties.
And with the same breath I took before
Reaffirming a commitment to never leave.
I said- I'd never leave you
Consistency in the promise made earlier.
Hey, got my hand on my heart hope to die
Reiterating sincerity with "hand on heart, hope to die."
You've got your mind and your eyes on the sky
Your focus remains on your aspirations and the sky.
Yeah, hold your hand to my heart hope to die
Continued commitment and sincerity.
I'll keep your head and your heart in the sky
Pledging to keep thoughts and emotions elevated.
