The Wake
Navigating the Depths: Spencer Kilpatrick's Metaphorical Wake
Lyrics
There's sharks in the water
There are challenges or dangers ahead.
They're letting me down
Feeling disappointed or let down by someone or something.
Broke the bag with my teeth
Metaphorically broke a barrier, faced a challenge with determination.
I tore my dorsal fins out
Experienced hardship or damage, possibly losing a part of oneself.
I could dive to the basement
Expressing the ability to confront deep and challenging situations.
I could live all my days
Expressing the possibility of living a full and meaningful life.
Butterfly through the pavement
Gracefully navigating tough circumstances.
Shutter while I'm awake
Experiencing disturbance or discomfort while being conscious or alert.
Are you awake with me?
Asking if someone else is experiencing the same consciousness.
Would you walk through the wake with me?
Inviting someone to face challenges together or support each other.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional resonance.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
-I got salt on my tongue
Symbolizing experiences or challenges leaving a lasting impact.
I keep the tide in my lap
Metaphorically holding onto the ebb and flow of life.
I'll get pulled to the bottom
Feeling overwhelmed or dragged down by life's challenges.
By the time I relax
Difficulty relaxing due to persistent challenges.
Catch my breath on the altar
Finding solace or composure in moments of reflection or contemplation.
Moments culled from the break
Extracting meaningful moments from challenging experiences.
Watch the roadside fall in
Observing the consequences of difficult journeys.
And wonder why I'm awake
Questioning the purpose or reason for being awake and aware.
Are you awake with me?
Repeating the inquiry about shared awareness.
Would you walk through the wake with me?
Reiterating the invitation to face challenges together.
Are you awake with me?
Continuing to explore shared consciousness.
Would you walk through the wake with me?
Asking again for companionship in navigating challenges.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Repetition for emotional impact and emphasis on shared awareness.
Are you awake with me?
-Yeah, are you awake with me?
-Would you walk through the wake with me?
Final invitation to face challenges together, possibly signaling resolution.
