Embracing Love's Silence: Rasmus Nelausen's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
The words I ache to say are stuck inside me
The speaker is unable to express certain emotions or thoughts.
Playing hide and seek just to avoid my mouth
Choosing to play games to avoid verbal communication.
They are cursed with the power to deny me
The words have the power to be withheld, causing frustration.
Toiling them and singing them out loud
Expressing the struggle of trying to articulate and sing the words aloud.
And the words they take up air for which I'm gasping
The unspoken words create a suffocating feeling.
Burns like fire and fills me up with doubt
The inner conflict is intense, causing doubt and discomfort.
But fire burns like fire always has been
Recognizing the destructive nature of internal struggles.
Nothing left to do but wait it out
Accepting the situation and waiting for resolution.
And I wonder what's the point in even fighting
Questioning the purpose of fighting against the difficulties.
would be easier to paint my eyes black
Suggesting that masking emotions might be an easier path.
so i'm punching holes in air in which i'm hiding
Physically expressing frustration by punching holes in the air.
hoping it won't ever hit me back
Hoping to avoid negative consequences from these actions.
And i can see why she would start to doubt it
Understanding why someone close may doubt the speaker's situation.
When she asks if everything's all right
Being questioned about the well-being, indicating concern.
But the truth is that I would'nt be without it
Despite appearances, the struggles are essential and valued.
It's the only thing that's keeping me upright
The internal conflict is a crucial support for the speaker.
And the wonder of it all is that she's leaving
Someone important is leaving, leaving fears behind to support the speaker.
Her fears behind to see this through
Expressing amazement at the commitment and sacrifice of the other person.
And when she does it makes me start believing
Observing the departure and finding hope and belief in oneself.
Maybe i could too
Contemplating the possibility of change and personal growth.
So in the evening when the birds they sing their last song
Referencing the symbolic time of evening and birds singing.
They sing of everlasting love
The birds singing about eternal love, possibly reflecting on the relationship.
I wonder how i got to be so lucky
Expressing gratitude or disbelief at being fortunate.
To know that she'll be here when i wake up
Highlighting the reassurance of the person being present in the morning.
