Be Still My Heart
Eternal Echoes: Love's Battle with Darkness
Lyrics
Walk with me
Invitation to accompany the speaker
Into the morning sunlight
Entering a new day's sunlight together
Into a world that's cold and no one ever
Entering a harsh, unforgiving world
Makes it out alive
Emphasizing the difficulty of survival
I always told you
Promised determination to find a solution
I would find a way
Commitment to making the relationship endure
We could make this last forever
Desire for a lasting connection
And never fade away
Expressing the wish for eternal love
Be still my heart, as silent as the grave
Pleading for emotional calmness
As violent as the ways, you tore me apart
Describing the intense pain caused
And I watch seasons change
Observing the passage of time
But these memories remain
Persisting memories despite change
Carved into the headstone of my heart
Symbolic memories engraved in the heart
Under the midnight moonlight
Setting the scene under moonlight
I feel it changing me inside
Feeling internal transformation
This love so beautiful
Contrasting the beauty of love with darkness
Is only darkness in your eyes
Realizing the deceptive nature of love
Now I'm alone and standing still in time
Being alone and stuck in time
Letting go of a fading dream
Releasing a fading, unrealistic dream
As the world around me dies
Observing the world's demise
I watch it die
Reiteration of witnessing the end
Be still my heart, as silent as the grave
Repeating the plea for emotional calmness
As violent as the ways, you tore me apart
Reiterating the intense pain caused
And I watch seasons change
Observing the changing seasons
But these memories forever will remain
Emphasizing the persistence of memories
Carved into the headstone of my heart
Reiterating symbolic memories engraved
I took the step you wouldn't take
Taking a step the other wouldn't
I made the move you wouldn't make
Making a move the other avoided
I wish someone would drive a stake
Expressing a desire for relief
Into my God forsaken heart
Metaphorically wishing for heartache to end
As silent as the grave
Repeating the plea for emotional calmness
As violent as the ways you tore me apart
Reiterating the intense pain caused
I watch the seasons change
Observing the cyclical nature of seasons
These memories forever will remain
Reiterating the persistence of memories
Carved into the headstone of my heart
Symbolic memories enduring in the heart
