Carpe Dame
Embracing the Abyss: Oak Hill Drifters' Carpe Dame Unveils the Battle of Love and Pain
Lyrics
Don't wanna give you my love
Expressing reluctance to give love.
Don't know if I should even try
Uncertainty about attempting to love.
Been cut so many times before
Experiencing past emotional wounds.
And my heart's been cast aside
Feeling rejected or ignored in love.
All I see is blue, all I feel is pain
Perceiving a predominant feeling of sadness.
Should I forsake the only way I've known?
Contemplating abandoning a familiar path in life.
All I see is blue, all I feel is pain
Continuing to feel emotional distress.
Turn my back on this life that I've composed?
Considering turning away from one's current lifestyle.
Is it so easy to pretend
Raising a question about the ease of pretending.
The masquerade won't fall apart?
Questioning the stability of a deceptive facade.
The grand facade could never end
Expressing doubt about the permanence of a false front.
Under the weight of a lonely heart?
Reflecting on the burden of a solitary heart.
All I see is blue, all I feel is pain
Reiterating the presence of sadness and pain.
Should I forsake the only way I've known?
Revisiting the idea of abandoning a familiar path.
All I see is blue, all I feel is pain
Re-emphasizing the continued emotional distress.
Turn my back on this life that I've composed?
Reconsidering the possibility of changing one's life.
Falling, I'm falling
Describing a sensation of falling.
I'm breathless going down, oh
Experiencing breathlessness while descending.
It's a chance that I have to take
Recognizing the necessity of taking a risky opportunity.
Breaking, I'm breaking
Describing a state of emotional breakdown.
I'm desperate that you are, oh
Expressing desperation comparable to the listener's.
As in love as you say you are, oh
Questioning the sincerity of the listener's love.
One last chance to save myself
Presenting a final opportunity for personal salvation.
One way trains and wanderlust
Mentioning journey and desire for exploration.
But your smile has overwhelmed
Acknowledging the overwhelming impact of a smile.
And I choose to Fall in Love
Choosing to fall in love despite uncertainties.
All I see is blue, all I feel is pain
Reiterating the presence of sadness and pain.
Should I forsake the only way I've known?
Revisiting the idea of abandoning a familiar path.
All I see is blue, all I feel is pain
Re-emphasizing the continued emotional distress.
Turn my back on this life that I've composed?
Reconsidering the possibility of changing one's life.
Falling, I'm falling
Describing a sensation of falling.
I'm breathless going down, oh
Experiencing breathlessness while descending.
It's a chance that I have to take
Recognizing the necessity of taking a risky opportunity.
Breaking, I'm breaking
Describing a state of emotional breakdown.
I'm desperate that you are, oh
Expressing desperation comparable to the listener's.
As in love as you say you are, oh
Questioning the sincerity of the listener's love.
