World Ain't Gone Crazy
Embracing Life's Contradictions
Lyrics
Turn your lights down low
Turn down external influences or distractions.
Take your skeletons out of the closet
Reveal hidden or suppressed aspects of your past.
We can dance to Life with the Dead
Embrace life, even its darker aspects.
And answer every little voice in your head
Address and confront inner thoughts and doubts.
Let me give my heart away
Express vulnerability by giving love.
With a little bit of luck it'll break every day
Accept the likelihood of heartbreak as part of the experience.
Share me your pains so I may relieve them
Share your burdens for emotional relief.
Tell me your visions and I will believe them
Believe in others' dreams and aspirations.
I am a candle burning on the dark side of the moon
Metaphorically portray oneself as a source of light in a hidden place.
I am an anvil borne aloft your helium balloon
Express being a stabilizing force for someone more fanciful or optimistic.
We're a crooked little bloom
Describe a unique and unconventional existence.
Full of moon perfume
Symbolize imperfections with a charming fragrance.
Ambrosia in a cup of clay
Depict something precious in a humble vessel.
The World ain't gone crazy baby
Assert that the world is inherently chaotic or unpredictable.
It was born that way
Emphasize the innate disorderliness of the world from its origin.
She will offer no defense
Describe a person or situation unwilling to justify itself.
Her embrace is a casual indifference
Portray a detached and indifferent attitude in an embrace.
From a seed to a stem to a bloom
Trace the journey from a small beginning to a beautiful state.
We're a warm little light in a cold dark room
Highlight a small but comforting presence in a larger, colder environment.
Let me give my heart away
Repeat of line 5, expressing a willingness to be emotionally open.
With a little bit of luck it'll break every day
Repeat of line 6, acknowledging the risk of emotional pain.
Give me a smile, shed me a tear
Ask for both positive and negative emotions, acknowledging vulnerability.
We have everything to lose and nothing to fear
Acknowledge the stakes in life but emphasize the lack of fear.
Oh, yes!
Express affirmation or agreement.
I guess it's true, I must confess
Admitting a personal truth or revelation.
That somewhere not so deep inside
Acknowledge internal conflicts or complexities.
The gods and the devils run a roller coaster ride
Describe the chaotic and unpredictable nature of life.
Where the wrongs and the rights and the darks and the lights
Portray the coexistence and convergence of opposites in life.
All collide and coalesce
Describe the merging and blending of contrasting elements.
I don't need an answer
Express a lack of need for definitive answers.
I don't care to guess
Indicate a lack of interest or concern in making guesses.
