Air
Embers of Connection: Seeking Solace in Chaos
Lyrics
Can we blow on each other
Invitation for mutual support or comfort
Some air until we see the planet on fire
Desire to witness change or upheaval on a global scale
The smoke is just a fog but grey only covers
Perception that problems are present but obscured
The brain is not asleep
Awareness or consciousness is active
It burns in the eyelids
An intense mental activity or contemplation
Just the time for another
Opportunity for another instance of shared experience
Of our sleepless night on the bridge to the stars
A metaphorical journey toward ambitious dreams
And trying to stop the ink from starving the old page
Striving to preserve creativity or history
Then bringing down the moon to wake up a lost kid
Seeking to inspire someone who feels lost
Are we moving together
Questioning the alignment or connection between individuals
Or maybe it’s just a tale to feel slightly better
Suggesting a possible fabricated narrative for comfort
If no one in the end looks after the other
Concern about mutual care or responsibility
As long as they have all the drugs
Emphasizing reliance on substances to cope
To shut down and harness
Controlling emotions or reactions
I’m collecting the courage
Gathering bravery to guide without causing harm
To lead and not oppress your heart
Respecting and nurturing someone's emotions
When you need to scream louder
Encouraging self-expression, even if it's loud
Now the shame is hard to see here
Difficulty in recognizing shame in the current situation
Now the shame is hard to see here
Reiteration of the difficulty in perceiving shame
Can we blow on each other
Repetition of the initial invitation for mutual support or comfort
Some air until we see the planet on fire
Desire for collective action to witness change or upheaval
The smoke is just a fog but grey only covers
Reiteration of obscured problems
The brain is not asleep
Reaffirmation of active mental activity or contemplation
It burns in the eyelids
Emphasizing the intensity of mental activity
