Subway
Navigating the Thin Line of Love: Peter Murphy's Subway Insights
Lyrics
It's like there's a straight way you know, you know
Describing a straightforward path or approach.
I've told you before it's as thin as ice
Emphasizing the fragility or precariousness of the situation.
As thin as the razor snow
Comparing the thinness to a razor and associating it with snow, possibly indicating danger or vulnerability.
Don't freeze in the snow
Cautioning against getting stuck or immobilized in a difficult situation.
Don't bake in the heat
Advising against extreme conditions, urging balance.
I'll be your breath
Offering support and companionship.
There's a place where we can meet
Repetition emphasizes the availability of a meeting place.
There's a place where we can meet
-There's a place where we can meet
-Use me
Suggesting a willingness to be utilized or relied upon.
Don't sleep in the subway
Advising against vulnerability in challenging situations, using subway and pouring rain metaphorically.
Don't sleep in the pouring rain
-By my voice in my midnight meditation
Referring to a personal introspective moment, possibly during nighttime.
When I wake, be my heart's floatation
Expressing a desire for emotional support upon waking.
Come and fill, come and fill from the overflow
Encouraging abundant emotional expression and connection.
Come and play, come and play be like a bird
Encouraging playful and free interaction, akin to a bird's behavior.
Don't sleep in the subway
Reiterating the warning against vulnerability in challenging situations.
I'm needing you well - I
Expressing a need for support or companionship.
I feel you, you're closing down yeah
Perceiving a sense of closure or withdrawal from the other person.
Get close, talk right through me
Encouraging close communication and connection.
Get close, keep tight with me
-If you fall now it could be forever
Highlighting the potential permanence of consequences if caution is not exercised.
I'm telling you the line is thin now
Warning about the thinness of a boundary or limit.
I've told you before this hate is a sin
Reiterating the negative consequences of harboring hate.
Empty out for the overflow
Suggesting emotional release and openness for love to enter.
Let love begin
Encouraging the initiation of love.
There's a place where we can meet
Reaffirming the existence of a meeting place for emotional connection.
