Healing Journeys: Embracing Love and Letting Go on the Battlefield
Lyrics
Leave your pain on the battlefield
Encouragement to leave emotional pain behind, possibly after a difficult experience.
You don't tend to your wounds once they've already healed
Advising against dwelling on past wounds that have already healed.
We've both waited for someone who won't reappear
Both individuals in the relationship have waited for someone who may not return.
I am Here Take a drive, play some cards, take MDMA
Expressing availability and suggesting activities like driving, playing cards, or taking MDMA to cope.
We could learn to love in a different way
Proposing a new, unconventional way to experience love.
So, scan the horizon or stare at the floor
Suggesting to either contemplate the future or focus on the immediate surroundings.
I am Yours'
Declaring a commitment or connection, possibly romantically.
You were harmed don't think about that now
Discouraging dwelling on past harm, encouraging a shift in focus.
It's hard, but different somehow
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation but emphasizing its distinctiveness.
You were bound determined to be right
Highlighting a past determination to be right or justified in a situation.
So come unwind the past with me tonight

So I hitched a ride down to
Narrating a journey to a tropical destination, symbolizing a positive change or escape.
Tropical I don't want to hide I feel better now
Expressing relief and a sense of improvement in emotional well-being.
You're nothing like her and I'm not much like him
Highlighting differences between individuals and signaling a new beginning.
We Begin
Announcing the start of a new phase or relationship.
Crash landed here like those days before
Comparing the current situation to a crash landing, possibly acknowledging past difficulties.
When I cashed it all in back at Elsinore
Referencing a previous moment of significant decision-making at Elsinore.
I was tired of trying and shifting the blame
Expressing fatigue with trying and deflecting responsibility.
We remain
Affirming the continuation of the relationship despite challenges.
You were harmed don't think about that now
Reiterating the advice to avoid dwelling on past harm.
It's hard, but different somehow
Recognizing the difficulty of the situation but emphasizing its unique nature.
You were bound determined to be right

So come unwind the past with me tonight
Inviting the listener again to reflect on the past together.
To start, what were we thinking?
Pondering the initial thoughts or decisions in the relationship.
There are a million ways to fight
Recognizing various ways to approach conflicts or challenges.

We've got a million days and nights
Highlighting the vast number of days and nights available in life.
