Healing Through the Flames: A Journey of Transformation in Schuyler Kitchin's 'Surgery'
Lyrics
It's been a year that I'll remember
Reflecting on a memorable year
When I look down at my hands
Contemplating personal actions or creation
Surgery is in season
Metaphorically, a time for change or transformation
Cauterizing is the plan
Planning a process of self-cauterization or healing
I think I'm ready to be good now
Expressing readiness for positive change
So make the healing quick for me
Desiring a quick recovery or improvement
Let grief tarry for the evening
Suggesting a temporary acceptance of grief
But haste the morning with its peace
Wishing for a peaceful resolution in the morning
Unplug my fingers from the levee
Seeking emotional release or vulnerability
Let emotion flood my face
Allowing emotions to be expressed freely
But the weight is far too heavy
Feeling overwhelmed by a burdensome situation
Dam it, I can't take the wave
Struggling with the weight of challenges
Profoundly sad but I can't cry yet
Experiencing profound sadness but unable to cry
Profoundly numb but I won't die
Feeling emotionally numb but determined to survive
Profoundly tired and I won't lie to you
Expressing deep fatigue without deception
It's been a year I won't forget
Reflecting on an unforgettable year
You put me under anesthesia
Referencing being under the influence of something powerful
Knew I couldn't take the pain
Acknowledging inability to endure pain without assistance
Laid me down upon the table
Symbolizing a vulnerable state on a figurative table
Wounded Healer tend my frame
Requesting healing from someone who has also suffered
With the purifying flame
Seeking purification and enlightenment
With the light in darkness flame
Desiring clarity or guidance in difficult times
Don't want to leave the way I came
Expressing a desire for personal growth and change
No, I won't leave the way I came
Determined not to repeat past mistakes
