Waltz of Life
Embracing Memories: Waltzing Through Life's Pain
Lyrics
Those nights they are dark
The nights are emotionally difficult or troubling.
They are dark and they're cold
The nights are both emotionally difficult and physically uncomfortable.
I breathe and I watch and I try to keep hold
The person is trying to hold onto something despite difficulties.
On what I know, I know
Emphasizes certainty or confidence in what the person knows.
On what I know
Reiterating the confidence in personal knowledge.
Reason it fails and worry begins
Logic or rationale is failing, leading to worry.
Can't find an escape from this trap that I'm in
Feeling trapped, unable to find a way out of the situation.
Or these memories
The person is haunted by memories.
Because I still see you there in my arms
Remembering being close to someone in the past.
I still hear you scream
Recollection of hearing someone scream, possibly in distress.
I still see you there in my arms
Repetition of the memory of being close to someone.
Doing the waltz of life with me
Metaphorical reference to experiencing life's struggles together.
Sleep has become a long lost friend
Struggling to find rest or peace, indicating sleeplessness.
And laughter a thing I can only pretend
Difficulty experiencing genuine joy or happiness.
But cannot feel
Unable to genuinely feel positive emotions.
Broken am I and this heart of mine
Feeling emotionally shattered or damaged.
Blind to this laughing, this dancing boy
Blind or unaware of the happiness around, feeling disconnected.
When the nights are dark
Reiterating the emotional difficulty of dark nights.
When the nights are cold
Reiterating the emotional difficulty of cold nights.
Because I still see you there in my arms
Repeating the memory of being close to someone in the past.
I still hear you scream
Recollecting hearing someone scream in distress.
I still see you there in my arms
Reiterating the memory of being close to someone in the past.
Doing the waltz of life with me
Metaphorical reference to sharing life's struggles together.
