Soft Animal
Yearning Harmony: Embracing Desires and Believers
Lyrics
The soft animal of my body wants the soft animal of yours
The physical and emotional connection between two individuals is expressed as a desire for intimacy.
My despair wants to sit down quiet next to your despair
Expressing a shared experience of despair and a wish for companionship in difficult times.
Oh my heart it wants to quit because it is too tired of wanting
A metaphor for emotional exhaustion and a longing to stop desiring, possibly due to past experiences.
But my hands they want your hair
Despite emotional exhaustion, the desire for physical connection and affection remains strong.
My shoulder wants to lean in close and be there for your leaning
Expressing a desire to provide support and be close during difficult moments.
But my anger wants to run away or turn itself inside
An internal conflict between the desire for intimacy and the impulse to withdraw or protect oneself.
My shadow want to know that you'll be there to help me hold them
Desire for reassurance and support in facing one's inner struggles and shadows.
I will not run and hide
Commitment to facing challenges and not avoiding difficulties in the relationship.
It's your laughter that I want to hear floating through the gathering
Expressing a desire to experience joy and happiness through the partner's laughter.
It's your hands I want to know about, your hips, your smile, your tears
Interest in understanding and knowing various aspects of the partner, including physical and emotional attributes.
What you are and what you would be: that's what I am asking
Seeking clarity on who the partner is and their aspirations for the future.
From my lips to your ears
Expressing a desire to communicate openly and intimately from one person to another.
What is it that you want?
A direct question, possibly seeking clarity on the partner's desires and needs.
That's what I'd like to know
Reiteration of the desire to understand the partner's wants and wishes.
Tell me what you want
An invitation for the partner to express their desires and preferences.
Tell it to me slow
Encouraging the partner to communicate their wants slowly and thoughtfully.
My footsteps want to walk beside yours somewhere near the river
Expressing a desire for a shared journey, using footsteps as a metaphor for life paths.
Oh my eyes they want your dark eyes looking back at me
Expressing a desire for deep connection and understanding through eye contact.
My arms, they want to hold you until we are both believers
Expressing a desire for emotional and physical closeness until both individuals believe in the relationship.
cnd I want you to be free
Expressing a wish for the partner to be free, possibly from emotional burdens or constraints.
I want to touch your face, I want to kiss you by the river
Expressing a desire for physical affection and intimacy by the river.
I want you here with me
Expressing a longing for the partner's presence and companionship.
