Pharaohs and Friends
Enchanting Tales of Pharaohs, Dragons, and Shadows
Lyrics
My lung is hurting and I'm losing half my sight
Physical and sensory struggles, but putting on a facade for the night.
But I'll put on my lashes and a halo for the night
Using cosmetics ("lashes") and pretending ("halo") despite personal challenges.
I will tell you stories about the seven seas
Sharing tales of adventure, specifically about the seven seas.
Of monsters and of dragons, heroic princesses
Stories involving mythical elements like monsters, dragons, and brave princesses.
In the enchanted forest I will let your mind go wild
Encouraging imagination in an enchanted forest setting.
You thought God would be a soldier
Challenging preconceived notions about God, depicting as a child, not a soldier.
But she's just a little child
Reiteration of God being a child, not conforming to traditional expectations.
I'm working on a puzzle
Struggling with a metaphorical puzzle, facing disorder.
But the pieces are a mess
Chaos in life represented by a disordered puzzle.
I keep pushing the agenda
Approaching life challenges strategically, like a game of chess.
Like it were a game of chess
Continuing to navigate life with purpose and strategy.
I will tell you stories of pharaohs and friends
Sharing stories about historical figures, pharaohs, and close companions.
Of the ones who live in shadows
Highlighting those living in obscurity or hidden from the spotlight.
You know how this story ends
Implies familiarity with the inevitable conclusion of these stories.
In little town and big town
Contrasting life in small and large towns, promoting imaginative thinking.
You let your mind go wild
Encouraging wild imagination in different settings.
Expecting God to be a soldier
Repeating the idea that God is not a soldier but a child.
When she's just a little child
Emphasizing the unexpected nature of God's identity.
And though my heart is rushing
Experiencing emotional intensity with a racing heart but maintaining composure.
It's skipping every beat
Heart palpitations as a metaphor for emotional turbulence.
Have you ever felt the gravity
Reflecting on the weight of one's actions and decisions.
It's your own damn heavy feet
Acknowledging personal responsibility and the burden of one's own choices.
And I can tell you stories
Continuing the theme of storytelling, this time about pirates and a pea.
Of pirates and a pea
Mixing fantastical elements with real-life decision-making.
But you'll just keep deciding
Highlighting the individual's power to shape their perception of reality.
What you see and do not see
Emphasizing the subjectivity of perception and interpretation.
In the tower on the mountain
Setting a scene in a tower on a mountain, encouraging imaginative thinking.
She let her mind go wild
Reiterating the idea of letting the mind roam freely.
Expecting God to be a soldier
Stating again that God is not a soldier but a child.
When she's just a little child
Emphasizing the unexpected nature of God's identity.
In this world of lies and half truths
Commenting on a world filled with deception and partial truths.
I closed my eyes and smiled
Choosing to close one's eyes and smile in the face of a deceptive world.
if you thought god would be a soldier
Reiterating the earlier theme that God is not a soldier but a child.
you are just a little child
Addressing the listener as still having a childlike perspective on God.
