Lavender
Lavender Dreams: Embracing Darkness to Find Light
Lyrics
I'd rather go way too dark, and fade away,
I prefer embracing darkness deeply and disappearing,
Than run away, knowing that I stayed the same,
rather than escaping while knowing I remained unchanged,
Played the game, these weeds won't tear me apart.
played the game, and won't let challenges break me.
Why can't you be my lavender?
Yearning for someone to be my soothing influence,
Without your own, it's all of mine,
With or without their own troubles, everything belongs to me,
These hills were made with you in mind,
These surroundings were created with that person in mind,
Don't call this place a waste of your time,
Refusing to label this space as a waste of time,
Sit here a while and make it all alright.
Take a moment here to make everything alright.
I'd rather go way too dark, and fade away,
Reiterating the preference for embracing darkness and fading,
Than run away, knowing that I stayed the same,
Choosing not to run away, acknowledging personal stagnation,
Played the game, these weeds won't tear me apart.
Staying resilient despite challenges in the metaphorical game.
I'd rather go way too dark, and fade away,
Expressing the same preference for embracing darkness and fading,
Than run away, knowing that I stayed the same,
Avoiding escapism, facing the reality of personal stasis,
Played the game, these weeds won't tear me apart.
Enduring difficulties in the metaphorical game of life.
Why can't you be my lavender?
Repeating the desire for someone to be a calming presence,
Man it started all around the garden,
Reflecting on experiences starting in the garden,
you say its the best time and I say its not it,
Discussing differing opinions on the best time,
you don't wanna try hard moment in the backyard
Reluctance to invest effort in challenging moments,
then you run and say that, let's leave it all alone.
Choosing to leave difficulties behind.
This is the first time that I can go,
Acknowledging a new opportunity to move forward,
It's not the last so I leave it alone.
Assuring it's not the last chance, deciding to let go.
This is the first time that I can see,
Recognizing a fresh perspective for the first time,
I let it land so it's all on me.
Taking responsibility for the outcome.
Chinese finger traps to show what I'll do,
Using a metaphor of a Chinese finger trap to illustrate actions,
And I been on a path and it's hard to move,
Navigating a challenging path that is difficult to traverse,
And I run in packs when I'm not with you,
Mentioning a tendency to run in groups when not with a particular person,
Man my shoes heavy my lungs hurt like,
Describing physical strain and exhaustion,
I've been running miles with the help of my friends
Highlighting reliance on friends during difficult times,
I've been cutting through the grass to the lavender plants.
Metaphorically cutting through challenges towards positive influences.
I'd rather go way too dark, and fade away,
Reaffirming the choice to embrace darkness and fade,
Than run away, knowing that I stayed the same,
Opting not to escape, acknowledging personal constancy,
Played the game, these weeds won't tear me apart.
Remaining strong despite challenges in the metaphorical game.
I'd rather go way too dark, and fade away,
Repeating the preference for embracing darkness and fading,
Than run away, knowing that I stayed the same,
Avoiding the impulse to run, accepting personal stasis,
Played the game, these weeds won't tear me apart.
Persisting in the face of challenges in the metaphorical game.
Why can't you be my lavender?
Expressing the desire for someone to be a calming influence,
Without your own, it's all of mine,
Claiming ownership of all aspects, with or without personal troubles,
These hills were made with you in mind,
Indicating that the environment was created with a specific person in mind,
Don't call this place a waste of your time,
Rejecting the characterization of the space as a waste of time,
Sit here a while and make it all alright.
Encouraging spending time here to bring about positive changes.
