The Light
Unraveling Longing
Lyrics
Given the time you had
Reflecting on the amount of time you had
it's all gone well or terribly wrong
Everything has either turned out positively or terribly
Taking the toll
Bearing the consequences or effects
is always as all that ends can ever bring
Everything that concludes has an inevitable outcome
Wearing a stare
Wearing a fixed, intense gaze
to stare at the wildest flame I've known
To observe intensely the most passionate or intense experience I've encountered
so I can breathe into this
To take a breath inwardly into this situation
or breathe out of us
To take a breath outwardly away from the relationship
Now you can't see the light
Now, it's impossible to perceive hope or positivity
Looks like you've waited enough
Seems like you've been patient for quite a while
But who's gonna creep in now
Who will enter stealthily at this moment?
through the bedsheets?
Symbolically referring to intimacy or vulnerability shared in a bed
In the cold, clean moon you held the fantasy
In the serene moonlight, you cherished an illusion or dream
and I held the thought,
I held onto my perspective or viewpoint
in my defence
As my defense mechanism
But you'll find no tears, love, no rain
There won't be any emotional outpouring to wash away the damage
to come undone the stain
To undo the mark or blemish is challenging
And all life is cold and all is old
All existence seems bleak and aged
I'm never saying this is harmless again
Never going to claim that this situation is harmless
Now you can't see the light
Presently, there's no sight or hope for a positive outcome
