Two Beings
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Love's Thorny Dance
Lyrics
Two beings reaching for each other under cover of the night
Two individuals are reaching out to each other in the darkness.
Two secrets speaking silence ever undiscovered by the light
Secrets are communicated through silence, hidden from the light.
The hands that only meant to reach for an embrace
Hands meant for embracing touch a tender place.
Touch the tender place
The touch invokes a feeling, perhaps emotional vulnerability.
And pressing in the ever present thorn
Pressing into a persistent pain, symbolic of challenges in the relationship.
A flood of love unuttered gathering inside
Unspoken love accumulates within them.
Spilling from their eyes
Overflowing emotions manifest in tears.
And Falling down, the salt into the sore
Tears fall, like salt, into the wound.
It stings but they keep coming back for more
The pain stings, yet they persist in seeking more.
Two beings seeking shelter shield each other from the bitter wind
Two individuals seek refuge and protect each other.
To hearts disguise the hurt behind a mask, a plastic half-assed grin
They hide their pain behind a superficial, forced smile.
A mind that only winds up managing to clutch
Their minds struggle to hold onto love like a crutch.
To love just like a crutch
Love becomes a support for their emotional well-being.
To keep the daisies propped up on the porch
Symbolic daisies are propped up, representing fragile aspects of the relationship.
Just a stepping stone upon their weary way
Love is a stepping stone in their challenging journey.
A game we like to play
Love is portrayed as a game they play.
A drug to blunt the double edged sword
Love serves as a drug to numb the pain of life's challenges.
It kills but we keep coming back for
Despite its destructive nature, they return to love.
More love, more time
The desire for more love and time.
One more chance, one more try
Seeking additional chances and opportunities.
To pick the broken pieces from the floor
Trying to mend the broken pieces of their relationship.
The spell out, hey now, who could ask for more
Expressing a desire for more in life.
Two beings long for freedom from the grip of conscience grumbling
Two beings yearn for freedom from the guilt of conscience.
Two dreams bent down like knees all bloodied from their constant stumbling
Dreams are battered and bruised, reflecting constant struggles.
The hands that only meant to reach for an embrace
Repetition of hands reaching for an embrace, emphasizing the longing for connection.
Touch the tender place
Touching a vulnerable place again, suggesting repeated emotional exposure.
And pressing in the ever present thorn
Similar to line 5, pressing into persistent pain in the relationship.
A flood of love unuttered gathering inside
Reiteration of unspoken love accumulating within them.
Spilling from their eyes
Overflowing emotions, possibly tears, expressing inner turmoil.
And Falling down, the salt into the sore
Tears falling like salt into the emotional wound.
It stings but they keep coming back for more
Despite the pain, there is a persistent return to seeking more.
Oh and all the broken pieces on the floor
Acknowledging the broken pieces, possibly of the relationship.
They spell out, hey now, who could ask for more
A rhetorical question, emphasizing the continuous pursuit of more in life.
