Mardi Gras Beads
Melodic Vagabond: Unraveling the Mood of 'Mardi Gras Beads'
Lyrics
Your mind sings some lyrics like we're memory
Your thoughts recall lyrics as if they are memories.
Your sad our goodbyes sound nostalgy
The sadness in our goodbyes carries a nostalgic tone.
Your chords swung me from idolatry
Your musical chords diverted me from idolizing something.
I'm living like a vagabond, I just can't decide
Living a nomadic, indecisive life, unsure when to move on.
When to leave
The struggle of deciding when to leave.
But it's roots are in the river to my mood it swings
Roots of a situation are connected to the river, mood swings.
A vow even is impossible to keep
Making a vow that is nearly impossible to fulfill.
Every day is starting on the balance beam
Each day begins with a precarious balance.
Still you're standing with me, always carrying
Despite challenges, someone remains steadfast, carrying the melody.
The melody
The consistent presence of a musical theme.
Smiling all the while, the paint chips off
Smiling in the face of challenges, revealing vulnerability.
Of my Mardi Gras beads
The colorful layers of experience represented by Mardi Gras beads.
It's the images contained not the lens or frames
Emphasizing the importance of contained images over external elements.
Recalled to my mind before I fall asleep
Recalling memories before drifting into sleep.
A list of regrets is no place to be
Avoiding a list of regrets as it's not a positive place to be.
I'm coming in late but I'll never modulate us
Arriving late to a situation but refusing to change the emotional tone.
To a minor key
Resisting a shift to a more somber emotional state.
Smiling all the while, the paint chips off
Despite challenges, still smiling, revealing the impermanence of joy.
Of my Mardi Gras beads
The fading of vibrancy, represented by peeling paint on Mardi Gras beads.
