Oasis
Finding Salvation: A Yearning for Love and Redemption
Lyrics
When the bridges I've built have all burned down
Metaphorical reference to failed connections or relationships, bridges symbolizing efforts.
When the rivers run dry and I'm out of luck
Describing a difficult situation, depletion of resources, and a stroke of bad luck.
When I give what I have but it's not enough
Offering what one has, but it falls short or is insufficient.
And I reach for the map but it turns to dust
Seeking guidance, but plans or directions disintegrate like dust.
Can I run to you when I come undone
Seeking support during personal unraveling or crisis.
When I'm stuck in the desert, praying for better
Feeling stranded and hoping for improvement in a difficult situation.
Wondering, lost for a thousand years
Expressing a prolonged state of confusion or aimlessness.
Dreaming of treasure, trying to remember
Daydreaming about valuable experiences or achievements.
Just how it felt when I had you here
Nostalgia for a past moment of connection or happiness.
You can be my oasis
Inviting someone to be a source of relief and comfort.
Describing the person as a beautiful and unreal vision.
Sweet intoxication
Alluding to the captivating and pleasurable effect of the person's presence.
When I need some saving
Seeking help or support in times of need.
Saving, yeah
Reiterating the plea for assistance.
You can be my oasis
Repeating the invitation for someone to be a comforting presence.
My hallucination
Re-emphasizing the person's unreal and dreamlike qualities.
Sweet intoxication
Highlighting the enchanting and intoxicating nature of the person.
When I need some saving
Expressing the ongoing need for assistance.
Saving, yeah
Repeating the plea for support.
When I fall to my knees and I'm giving up
Describing a moment of extreme vulnerability and desperation.
When I do anything just to feel your love
Expressing a willingness to do anything for the experience of love.
When I give what I have but it's not enough
Reiteration of offering what one has, but it falling short.
And I reach for the map but it turns to dust
Experiencing a loss of direction or guidance.
Can I run to you when I come undone
Seeking refuge during personal turmoil or breakdown.
When I'm stuck in the desert, praying for better
Desiring improvement while facing challenges.
Wondering, lost for a thousand years
Continuing a theme of feeling lost or disoriented.
Dreaming of treasure, trying to remember
Maintaining a dream-like desire for valuable experiences.
Just how it felt when I had you here
Recalling a past moment of happiness and connection.
You can be my oasis
Repetition of the invitation for someone to be a source of relief.
My hallucination
Re-emphasizing the person's unreal and dreamlike qualities.
Sweet intoxication
Reiteration of the pleasurable and intoxicating effect of the person.
When I need some saving
Continued plea for support during difficult times.
Saving, yeahhh
Repeating the plea for assistance with added emphasis.
You can be my oasis
Re-emphasizing the invitation for someone to be a comforting presence.
My hallucination
Restating the unreal and dreamlike qualities of the person.
Sweet intoxication
Highlighting the enchanting and intoxicating nature of the person.
When I need some saving
Expressing the ongoing need for assistance.
Saving, yeah
Reiterating the plea for support.
Saving, yeah
Concluding the repeated plea for someone to be a comforting presence.
