Walls
Breaking Down Walls: A Heart's Transformation
Lyrics
Here I am
The speaker is present, ready to engage.
I've taken all my walls down
The speaker has removed their emotional barriers.
Here I stand
The speaker is resolute and steadfast.
Armor laid down on the ground, ooh
The defenses or protection are discarded.
How many walls did I build up
Questioning the number of barriers erected.
How many times just to tear 'em down
Repeated cycles of building and dismantling walls.
You built yours and I built mine
Both individuals constructed defenses.
Neither was a temple, both of us a shrine
Neither constructed a place of worship; both are sacred.
Can we leave the walls behind
Desire to move past these barriers.
Come and be mine, come and be mine
Invitation to a deeper connection.
Call this heart your temple, my broken walls a shrine
Offering their heart despite emotional scars.
Call this heart your temple, my broken walls a shrine
Reiteration of offering despite vulnerability.
Come and be mine, come and be mine
Repeated invitation to connect deeply.
Call this heart your temple, my broken walls a shrine
Emphasizing the heart's value despite walls.
Call this heart your temple, my broken walls a shrine
Reaffirmation of heart's significance despite defenses.
Here I am
Reappearance of the speaker.
The bare bones of a fortress
Metaphorically, the speaker's vulnerability is exposed.
Here I stand
Vulnerability to external emotional impacts.
The rains come in, I can't defend, ooh
The inability to withstand emotional turmoil.
How many walls did I build up
Reflection on the construction of barriers.
How many times just to tear 'em down
Repeated cycles of barrier creation and destruction.
You built yours and I built mine
Both parties' tendencies to protect themselves.
Neither was a temple, both of us a shrine
Neither constructed a sacred space.
Can we leave the walls behind
Desire to move beyond these barriers.
Come and be mine, come and be mine
Invitation for a deeper connection, again.
Call this heart your temple, my broken walls a shrine
Offering their heart despite vulnerability.
Call this heart your temple, my broken walls a shrine
Reiteration of offering despite emotional scars.
Come and be mine, come and be mine
Repeated invitation to connect deeply.
Call this heart your temple, my broken walls a shrine
Emphasizing the heart's value despite walls.
Call this heart your temple, my broken walls a shrine
Reaffirmation of heart's significance despite defenses.
