Smoke Signals
Sanctuary Amidst Turmoil: Smoke Signals' Deep Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Pull me in your shelter
Pull me into your protection or refuge
Hold me til the storm blows over
Embrace me until the difficult times pass
You don't realise what you have done
You are unaware of the impact of your actions
Help me find my sanctuary
Assist me in finding a place of safety and comfort
You said you would keep me holy
You promised to keep me sacred or morally upright
There's been a hole in my house for months now
There has been an empty or incomplete feeling in my life for an extended period
And I can't see a way I could climb out
I cannot envision a way to overcome my challenges
I've been crushed by the weight of these walls
I've been overwhelmed by the burden of these barriers or difficulties
And the pressure won't give
The stress and challenges persist without relief
I sank to the bottom of the South East
I descended to the lowest point in the South East (metaphorically)
Not to be seen for days and weeks
Isolated and unseen for an extended period
Waiting for someone to save me
Longing for someone to rescue or help me
This is no way to live
This is not a sustainable or acceptable way of living
And I wish I didn't have to think about breathing
I wish I could stop worrying about the basic act of breathing
Smoke signals choking me out
Metaphorical smoke signals are suffocating or overwhelming
Apathy poisons my blood
Apathy is poisoning my spirit or vitality
My body is riddled with holes
My being is filled with vulnerabilities or weaknesses
And it feels like all of my goodness is leaving
I feel like my inherent goodness is diminishing or disappearing
Hollowed out and filled up with anxiety
Emptied and burdened by anxiety
Trapped in a cage that my misery made
Trapped in a situation created by my own suffering
I'm just trying to get out of here alive
I'm striving to escape this situation while staying alive
