Close Your Eyes
Embracing Life's Precarious Balance
Lyrics
I dreamed you were standing
I had a dream where I saw you standing.
On the edge of the world
You were at the edge of the world.
And I thought I heard you call out
I believed I heard you calling.
With one foot on the rock
You seemed to have one foot on solid ground (rock) and one on a cloud.
And one a cloud
Questioning whether what I heard was just the sound of the wind.
Was it just the wind that I heard?
Close your eyes
Suggesting the idea of closing one's eyes, perhaps to escape or find peace.
This world won't stop spinning you know
Expressing the idea that the world keeps moving despite one's desire for it to stop.
Close your eyes
Reiterating the suggestion to close one's eyes.
Why don't you just let go?
Encouraging letting go of something or someone.
Thousands of people searchin' out there
Many people are searching for something, possibly love.
Most of 'em lookin' for love
Most of them are seeking love.
But nothing is something
Emphasizing that nothing is a common thing, and there is an abundance of it.
That there's plenty of
In time we'll all get our share
Believing that everyone will eventually experience their share of something.
When I was a child
Recalling a childhood memory of being put to bed.
And they put me to bed
They always took care that I prayed
During childhood, prayers were ensured before bedtime.
But the part that goes, if I should
Referencing a prayer about potentially dying in sleep.
Die 'fore I wake
Part of the prayer echoing in the mind throughout the night.
Echoed all night in my head
