Words
Navigating the Seas of Expression
Lyrics
My words ran away from me
Expresses the loss of control over one's words.
Now I'm lost and they're out at sea
Feeling lost and disconnected as the words are beyond reach.
Sailing away
Metaphorically describes words sailing away, emphasizing their departure.
They come and go, like the breeze
Describes the transient nature of words, comparing them to the changing breeze.
Whisper sweet, burn like disease
Words can be both sweet and destructive, likened to a disease.
They change with the day
Highlights the adaptability of words, changing with circumstances.
And I seem to say
Expresses a tendency to say inappropriate things at the right time.
All the wrong things on the right day
Continues the theme of saying wrong things, now focusing on timing.
And I seem to do
Acknowledges the tendency to do wrong things at the right cue.
All the wrong things on the right cue
Reiterates the challenge of proper actions on cue.
At least most of the time
Reflects on the frequency of making mistakes but accepts it.
My words took me down the wrong track
Regret about the consequences of words leading down the wrong path.
And now I want to take it back
Expresses a desire to retract the spoken words and their impact.
So I'll run away
Contemplating running away as a response to the spoken words.
If only I could be free
Wishing for freedom from the negative impact of one's words.
Of the plague that my words seem to be
Describing words as a plague and their detrimental influence.
I'd thank the day
Expressing gratitude if liberated from the burden of words.
For I seem to say
Reiterates the tendency to say wrong things at the right time.
All the wrong things on the right day
Repeats the challenge of doing wrong things at the right cue.
And I seem to do
Continuation of the acknowledgment of making mistakes.
All the wrong things on the right cue
Reiterates the challenge of proper actions on cue.
At least most of the time
Acceptance of the recurring nature of mistakes.
And Life can be
Reflects on the unpredictable nature of life, with its ups and downs.
Such a give or take
Life is portrayed as a series of compromises.
Some laugh while they're dying
Illustrates contrasting reactions to life's challenges.
Some cry when they wake
Emotional responses vary, showing the complexity of human experience.
But there are some words
Emphasizes the significance of certain words in one's life.
That I could never do without
Words have the power to create meaningful imagery on surfaces.
That paint pictures on polished walls
Describes the transformative and liberating nature of words.
And dance away with doubt
Words have the ability to dispel uncertainty and hesitation.
My words came back to me
Return of words, symbolizing their cyclical nature.
They stayed awhile, we had some tea
Words linger, implying a temporary coexistence with the speaker.
While time whiled away
Time passes as the speaker engages with words.
I said, Please be kind and please don't go
Plea for kindness and a desire for words to stay.
They said, We'll try, but you never know
Ambiguous response from words, uncertain about their permanence.
Depends on the day
Dependence of words on external factors, specifically the day.
And I seem to say
Reiteration of the tendency to say wrong things at the right time.
All the wrong things on the right day
Continuation of the challenge of saying inappropriate things timely.
And I seem to do
Repeats the challenge of doing wrong things at the right cue.
All the wrong things on the right cue
Reiterates the difficulty of proper actions on cue.
At least most of the time
Acceptance of the recurrent nature of mistakes, emphasizing frequency.
