The Lake Of Twisted Limbs
Echoes of Resilience: Unraveling the Depths in 'The Lake Of Twisted Limbs'
Lyrics
There is a feeling I’m unfamiliar with
Expressing an unfamiliar emotional sensation.
You say it’s like you’re sleeping in a lake of twisted limbs
Describing a feeling akin to being submerged in a chaotic, entangled situation.
So I reach out for you in the dark
Seeking connection or reassurance in a situation lacking clarity.
Trying to echo-locate the beating of your heart
Attempting to locate or understand the emotional core or essence of another person.
Again
Indicating repetition or continuation of the action described in line 5.
You try to shield me, but it’s scrawled across your face
Recognizing an attempt by someone to protect or shield, despite emotions being evident.
Say you can’t reach me, as you turn and hide away
Expressing a perception of being unreachable, while the person withdraws or hides.
I’m trying to help you breathe, but you’re smothered underneath
Struggling to assist despite the other person being overwhelmed by hidden pain and secrets.
All of the hurt and hidden bodies you don’t dare speak of at all
Referencing accumulated pain and concealed traumas that are not spoken about.
The light, ever fleeting as it was
Describing a fleeting sense of brightness or hope that created an unapproachable facade.
Coddled me into a frame no-one could bear to touch
Feeling isolated due to an image or presentation that keeps others at a distance.
But I know that I can save you
Expressing a belief or determination to aid and rescue the other person.
So I reach out for you in the dark
Repeating the action of seeking connection or understanding in darkness or uncertainty.
Trying to echo-locate the beating of your heart
Continuing efforts to understand and connect with the emotional state of the other person.
Take my leave, I will follow you beyond
Willingness to depart from a familiar situation to follow the other person.
Trying to echo-locate and bring you back to us
Persisting in efforts to understand and bring the other person back to a shared experience or group.
Again
Repeating the intention to reconnect despite previous challenges or setbacks.
