40 Acres
Yearning for Green Pastures: Safezonefire's 40 Acres
Lyrics
40 acres in my head
Reflecting on a mental space equivalent to 40 acres.
For that green grass-covered land
Desiring a lush and green landscape.
I'd take the freeway back
Expressing a longing to return via the freeway.
I yearn for what it feels
Craving the sensation or experience of a particular feeling.
40 hours I've been here
Having spent 40 hours in a place.
Taking Jesus off the year
Making a symbolic gesture of removing Jesus for a period.
Trading time for hope
Exchanging time for hope, possibly making sacrifices for a better future.
I yearn for what it feels
Reiterating the desire for a particular feeling or experience.
Yearn for what it feels
Repeating the longing for a specific feeling.
It sets you apart
Highlighting that the desired feeling makes an individual unique.
To what it feels
Continuing the emphasis on the importance of a particular feeling.
In open air
Referencing a sense of freedom or clarity in an open environment.
40 acres in my hands
Expanding the mental space to include physical possession of 40 acres.
Taking flowers from your hair
Taking away adornments or distractions from a person.
Under arbor we stand
Standing under an arbor, possibly symbolizing a moment of unity or connection.
Yearn for what it feels
Reiterating the desire for a specific feeling or experience.
White roses in my coffin
Mentioning white roses in a coffin, suggesting a funeral or an end.
Pinback playing overhead
Pinback playing overhead implies a soundtrack to the mentioned funeral or ending.
Dressed like war is done
Describing attire that signals the end of a conflict or struggle.
I yearn for what it feels
Repeating the yearning for a particular feeling or experience.
Yearn for what it feels
Reiterating the longing for a specific feeling.
It sets you apart
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the desired feeling.
To what it feels
Continuing to stress the importance of a particular feeling.
In open air
Referring again to a sense of freedom or clarity in an open environment.
40 acres in my head
Closing with a return to the mental space of 40 acres.
