Reach
Guiding Shadows: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Slow Country's 'Reach'
Lyrics
How shall I know
Expressing uncertainty about understanding something
What birds fly in the trees
Questioning the variety of birds in the trees
When the sun is blinding me
Describing difficulty in seeing due to the blinding sun
Cause shadows aren´t dangerous
Suggesting that shadows are not harmful if one understands them
If you know
Highlighting the importance of knowing the path leading to the speaker
What path that leads to me
Referencing a specific path that connects to the speaker
To me
Repetition for emphasis on the connection to the speaker
To me
-If you fall
Encouraging someone to reach out if they fall
Reach out your hand
Offering a helping hand to someone in need
I will try
Committing to assisting and supporting the person who falls
To help you up
-I´ve fell before
Sharing personal experience of falling before
And recognize a bruise
Recognizing and understanding the pain of a bruise
How can you see
Pondering how one can observe birds approaching in a specific direction
What birds fly towards me
Continuing to explore the challenge of seeing with the sun's brightness
When the sun is all you see
Emphasizing the dominance of the sun in the field of vision
This path is long
Describing the length of a challenging journey
And we´re walking it
Emphasizing companionship and shared experience on the journey
Together
-If you fall
Encouraging reaching out for support if one stumbles
Reach out your hand
Reiterating the commitment to help and support
I will try
-To help you up
Reflecting on personal experience of overcoming challenges
I´ve fell before
Expressing empathy by recognizing and understanding pain
And recognize a bruise
Repeating the theme of recognizing and understanding bruises
If you fall
Encouraging reaching out for support if one stumbles (repetition)
Reach out your hand
Reaffirming the commitment to help and support (repetition)
I will try
-To help you up
Reflecting on personal experience of overcoming challenges (repetition)
I´ve fell before
Expressing empathy by recognizing and understanding pain (repetition)
And recognize a bruise
Repeating the theme of recognizing and understanding bruises (repetition)
If you fall
Encouraging reaching out for support if one stumbles (repetition)
Reach out your hand
Reiterating the commitment to help and support (repetition)
I will try
-To help you up
Reflecting on personal experience of overcoming challenges (repetition)
I´ve fell before
Expressing empathy by recognizing and understanding pain (repetition)
And recognize a bruise
Repeating the theme of recognizing and understanding bruises (repetition)
