Kintsugi
Kintsugi Symphony: Embracing Brokenness, Finding Golden Love
Lyrics
Didn't mean to leave a mark
Expressing regret for unintentionally leaving a lasting impact.
As I was stumbling in the dark, again
Navigating through difficulties without clear direction.
Easy to see why
Acknowledging the apparent reasons for a misunderstanding.
You believe I
Conveying that the other person believes in the singer despite difficulties.
Like the pain
Recognizing a preference for emotional pain.
I cause myself
Accepting responsibility for self-inflicted emotional harm.
You saw right through me
Acknowledging that the other person understands the singer deeply.
From the start
Noting the perceptive understanding from the beginning of the relationship.
I played a fool, you played it smart
Admitting to playing a foolish role while the other person acted wisely.
Empty words behind blank stares
Describing insincere or meaningless statements and vacant expressions.
Lights are on but no one's there
Indicating a state of being present physically but emotionally absent.
Shadows on the ceiling
Referring to the haunting presence of unresolved emotions.
Trying to drown the feeling
Attempting to numb emotional pain by avoiding introspection.
It'll be all right
Offering reassurance that things will improve.
When we see the sunlight
Highlighting optimism when witnessing positive aspects of life.
Moon gleam, moon light
Referencing the calming and healing qualities of moonlight.
Heal me tonight
Expressing a desire for emotional healing.
Silence unbroken
Describing a state of quietness and unspoken communication.
Words unspoken, now we lie
Emphasizing the silence and unexpressed thoughts in the current situation.
Shattered, scattered,
Conveying a sense of brokenness and disarray.
We'll gather up the pieces
Expressing hope for reconciliation and rebuilding the relationship.
Like kintsugi
Drawing a metaphor to kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, symbolizing the beauty of imperfections.
Our love is golden
Affirming that the repaired love is valuable and precious.
It will hold us together
Believing that love will keep the relationship intact.
Love will hold us together
Reiterating the idea that love is a strong bond.
It'll be all right
Reassuring that the difficult times will pass.
When we see the sunlight
Echoing the optimism mentioned earlier regarding sunlight.
Moon gleam, moon light
Repeating the calming and healing imagery of moonlight.
Heal me tonight
Requesting healing and comfort.
Now we're all right
Affirming that the relationship has stabilized and is now positive.
Bathed in moonlight
Describing a serene and peaceful state under the moonlight.
Sun beam, sunlight
Referencing the positive energy and warmth of sunlight.
Take me tonight
Expressing a desire to be embraced or comforted in the present moment.
