Embracing Shadows: Oscar and the Wolf's Soulful Quest in 'Joaquim'
Lyrics
So I might
Expressing a possibility or intention
But would you like to take on me
Asking if the listener is willing to accept the speaker
Make an exception
Suggesting a willingness to deviate from the norm
When there's less to remain of me
When there's less of the speaker left to hold onto
So make an exception
Reiterating a willingness to deviate or make an exception
Well it's the same thing
Describing a recurring situation
I cannot consider a maybe
Unable to entertain uncertainty or indecision
I'm chasing the night so I can find
Pursuing the night to discover something
Rough bones and bitter diamonds
Symbolizing challenges and valuable experiences
Let it find you
Encouraging to let experiences find the speaker
I wanted the right so you gave me
Desiring the right things, receiving a fever as a result
A fever in the measure of a kind
Fever measured as a kind of experience
Rough stones and bitter diamonds
Symbolizing challenging experiences and valuable lessons
Shouldn't want you to need
Expressing a conflict about needing someone
Shouldn't want you to need
-Shouldn't want you to need
-Shouldn't want you to need
-So I might
Repeating the earlier expression of possibility
But would you like to take on me
Asking again if the listener is willing to accept the speaker
Make an exception
Reiterating a willingness to make an exception
When there's less to remain of me
When there's less of the speaker left to hold onto
So make an exception
Reiterating a willingness to deviate or make an exception
You let me down
Expressing disappointment or feeling let down
You let me down
-You let me down
-You let me down
-Well it's the same thing
Describing a recurring situation
I cannot consider a maybe
Unable to entertain uncertainty or indecision
I'm chasing the night so I can find
Pursuing the night to discover something
Rough storms and bitter diamonds
Symbolizing challenges and valuable experiences
Shouldn't want you to need
Reiterating the conflict about needing someone
Shouldn't want you to need
-Shouldn't want you to need
-Shouldn't want you to need
-You let me down
Expressing disappointment or feeling let down
You let me down
-You let me down
-You let me down
-So I might
Repeating the earlier expression of possibility
But would you like to take on me
-Make an exception
-When there's less to remain of me
-So make an exception
Reiterating a willingness to make an exception
