Rapture
Embracing Life's Scars
Lyrics
I saw a woman in a circle
I observed a woman within a circle
Her face was a rapture
Her expression reflected a state of ecstasy or intense joy
She was pulling a lever, she was raising a hammer
She was operating a lever and lifting a hammer
She's gonna ring that bell
She intends to ring a bell
I turned to tell my brother
I turned to inform my brother
About this woman and her rapture
About this woman and her ecstatic state
But the train shot into the darkness before ever That hammer fell - and it's
The train moved into darkness before the hammer fell
Better to breathe out - better to run than to hide
It is preferable to exhale, to run rather than to hide
You'd better find out who's gonna be on your side
Identify those who will support you
How many times do I have to tell you:
Repetition of advice: Don't reveal your inner self too soon
Don't lead with what is on your inside
A warning against leading with internal vulnerabilities
Or people gonna find out you're different
People will discover your differences, and it's not favorable
People gonna drag out all you have to hide and it's
Others will expose everything you try to conceal
Better to breathe out - better to leap before you look
It's better to exhale, better to take risks without hesitation
Keep your mind focused, and maybe you'll write that book
Maintain focus, and you might achieve your goals like writing a book
You could be folding your laundry
Engaging in mundane tasks like folding laundry
Twelve hundred miles from the place you were born
Being far from your place of birth, approximately 1200 miles away
You could look up into the sweet and forgiving autumn sunlight
Looking up into the comforting autumn sunlight
And you realize all at once - you have carried your scars this far
Sudden realization of carrying emotional scars due to love
Because you love them; the world touches you that way and it
The world affects you in a touching way, causing pain, but you smile and surrender
Hurts so much that you just smile and you lay down, you lay down
The pain is so intense that you accept it without resistance
Without a fight
(Empty line)
I guess we're all gonna work on maggie's farm for a little while longer
Speculation about working on "Maggie's Farm" for a longer period
Not tell anyone what he have inside to give
Keeping internal gifts hidden from others
And you keep your eyes on the stars up above
Focusing on the stars above, not revealing vulnerability
And don't you just lay down and live it is
Choosing not to surrender and just live
Better to breathe out - better to run than to hide
It's better to exhale, better to run than to hide
You'd better believe I am on your side
An affirmation of being on someone's side
