Captive
Captive Embrace: Rediscovering Light and Love
Lyrics
I wanna be held captive
I want to be in a situation where I feel captivated or emotionally engaged.
Forget the way I acted
Forget or overlook my past behavior.
It's just I'm out of practice
Explain that my behavior is due to lack of recent experience or skill.
And distracted
Feeling unfocused or unable to concentrate.
Hold me to this thing darling
Request to be committed or dedicated to something important.
And bring a ladder we'll climb to the rafters
Metaphorically suggesting to aim for higher goals or aspirations together.
As long as there's a view to look to
As long as there's something positive or inspiring to focus on.
Fence me in and keep me close to you
Desire to be enclosed or secured near the person addressed.
I wandered for a long time
Expressing a period of aimless wandering or uncertainty.
I forgot my light
Lost connection with something important or guiding.
You threw me a lifeline
Received help or support when facing a difficult time.
Pulled me out of the dark night
Rescued from a period of darkness or difficulty.
Hold me to this thing darling
Reiterating the desire for commitment or dedication to something significant.
And bring a ladder we'll climb to the rafters
Continuing the metaphor of aiming for higher achievements together.
As long as there's a view to look to
As long as there's something worthwhile or positive to aim for.
Fence me in and keep me close to you
Desire to be kept close and protected by the addressed person.
There will always be a lamp lit
Assurance that there will always be a guiding light or hope.
Look how far the light is casting
Highlighting the extent to which the guiding light reaches.
In the soft and steady you can see it
In moments of calmness and consistency, the guiding light is noticeable.
Glowing with a feeling
Shining with a particular emotion or sensation.
This feeling
Emphasizing a particular emotional state or sensation.
I wanna be held captive
Repetition of the desire to feel captivated or deeply engaged.
Look at the way I acted
Observation or acknowledgment of past behavior.
I'm just so out of practice
Reiteration of being inexperienced or lacking practice recently.
And distracted
Feeling unfocused or unable to concentrate (similar to line #4).
