On the Wire
Embracing Inspiration: Confronting Life's Challenges in 'On the Wire'
Lyrics
Where you goin' with your head so low
Feeling down and wondering where you're headed
Won't you share the news
Asking for information or updates on your life
Making marks and you're kicking sparks with the soles of your tennis shoes
Leaving a mark and creating sparks with the bottom of your shoes
Can't deny your pleasure now
Acknowledging and embracing your current joy
You can't deny your pain
Facing and accepting your pain
Can't deny you should never win
Recognizing that success may be elusive if you don't learn the necessary skills
If you never even learn the game
Highlighting the importance of learning the game of life
If you never even learn the game
Reiterating the significance of learning life's lessons
You know I feel inspired
Expressing a sense of motivation or inspiration
Seven songbirds on the wire
Imagining seven songbirds sitting on a wire
Throw your fears inside the fire
Encouraging the act of facing and overcoming fears by throwing them into the fire
And settle in
Encouraging settling in and finding comfort
Time moves on and it's never wrong
Reflecting on the relentless passage of time
It's never too far away
Emphasizing that time is always present and accessible
It's a heavy thought and those dreams you bought made everything feel OK
Acknowledging that dreams can provide solace and make everything seem fine
But silence means a lot these days
Recognizing the significance of silence in the current context
And this complication's gone astray
Noting that complications have gone off course
Straight to where the rope gets frayed
Directing attention to a point where things are unraveling
Tie it back into place
Suggesting the need to restore order and stability
Tie it back into place
Reiterating the importance of restoring order
You know I feel inspired
Reiterating a sense of inspiration or motivation
Seven songbirds on the wire
Imagining seven songbirds on a wire again
Throw your fears inside the fire and settle in
Encouraging the act of facing fears by throwing them into the fire, followed by finding comfort
