Without a Broom
Resilience in the Shadows: Unveiling Life's Dance Without a Broom
Lyrics
you were thirsty as a desert, like a lion to the flock
You were desperately in need, like a lion approaching a herd.
all the bottles had been emptied, by the ticking of a clock
All the bottles were consumed, marked by the passage of time.
on bodies there were bruises
Physical injuries were present on bodies.
had they got there remained to be seen
It's uncertain how the bruises appeared.
al the ashes had been scattered but the floor lay remarkably clean
All the remnants were gone, yet the floor was remarkably clean.
without a broom without a mop
Without cleaning tools like a broom or mop.
without a seed without a crop
Lacking the necessary elements for growth and success.
without a hope without a chance
Being devoid of optimism or opportunity.
without a ticket to the dance
Missing a chance or invitation to participate.
we were back alley bumming
Engaging in a rough and unconventional lifestyle.
we were chewing on bark
Surviving by consuming even the most basic and harsh resources.
we shot it straight into the plumbing
Injecting something directly into a system, possibly with consequences.
and now we're swimming with the sharks
Now facing dangerous or risky situations.
you can fire up you synapse
Activate your brain connections with motivation.
light it with desire
Ignite it with passion and longing.
you can fall back on your relapse
Returning to a previous negative behavior or pattern.
burn it like a junkyard tire
Burn it intensely, akin to a discarded tire in a junkyard.
without a spark without a match
Without a starting point or ignition source.
i got an itch to scratch
Feeling a strong desire or compulsion to address something.
there's no priest there's no prayer
There's no religious figure or supplication available.
without a worry without a care
Living without concerns or anxieties.
if in our pain we are reformed
If our suffering changes us positively.
then in our tears we are reborn
Through our sorrows, we find a new beginning.
if it is change that refines us
If change is what shapes and improves us.
then we all need a second chance
We all deserve an opportunity for redemption.
with you my love i'll have this dance
A promise to share a dance with a loved one amidst challenges.
