Candy
Embraced by Love: A Journey Beyond Loneliness
Lyrics
So many nights wasted poisoning myself
Expressing regret for spending many nights in self-destructive behavior, possibly through substance abuse.
Guess I just hated the emptiness I felt
Acknowledging a dislike for the inner emptiness experienced, suggesting a motive behind the destructive behavior.
To be excepted you gotta look like they do
Highlighting societal pressure to conform to certain standards for acceptance.
But you held your hand out and took me just as I am
Gratitude for someone who accepted the person as they are, despite societal expectations.
Your loves like candy oh like something
Comparing the love received to something as delightful and irresistible as candy.
I've never tasted before
Expressing the uniqueness and novelty of the love experienced, unexplored before.
And you take me places
Acknowledging that this love takes the person to new, positive experiences.
I never dreamed I could go
Surprise and appreciation for being taken to places the person never thought possible.
Oh I've been laughed at and broken in two
Reflecting on past experiences of being ridiculed and emotionally shattered.
And I've felt the wrath that words of hate can do
Describing the negative impact of hurtful words and the pain caused by hate.
Oh I've been stranded and left standing in the rain
Recalling a time of feeling abandoned and left in difficult circumstances.
But you picked my head up and carried me away from this place
Expressing gratitude for someone who lifted the person's spirit and rescued them from a challenging situation.
Your loves like candy like something I've never tasted before
Reiterating the delightful and unprecedented nature of the love experienced.
And you take me places I never dreamed I could go
Reaffirming the positive impact of this love by taking the person to unexpected places.
And where would I be without you where would I go without you
Pondering where the person would be or go without the support and love received.
