Setting Sons
Eternal Yearning: A Melodic Odyssey of Lost Love and Redemption
Lyrics
Coming back to the dark
Returning to a place of darkness or negativity
A year to the day, and I'm still awake
Exactly one year has passed, and the person is still unable to sleep
And I wait for you to slip away
Anticipating the departure or fading away of someone
I will be the third of your setting sons
Willing to be the third son in a sequence of sons, metaphorically representing a supportive role
I'll carry the cross and watch over your throne
Ready to bear the burdens and protect the person's status or position
But I'll never know
Uncertainty about understanding certain aspects or outcomes
If I sing to you now will you hear me
Questioning whether expressing oneself through song would be perceived by the person being addressed
Will I feel you near me
Desiring emotional closeness or connection with the person
Just one last time
Seeking one final opportunity or chance
Acting like the man and for what it's worth
Behaving in a manner expected of a mature individual
Went out of my head now I'm back on earth
Experiencing a period of disorientation or confusion followed by returning to reality
Take me back dancing in the old house
Yearning to revisit joyful memories associated with an old house
Going back to the start
Going back to the beginning or origin
A year to the day, and I'm still awake
Similar to line 2, reiterating the inability to sleep after a year
And I wait for you to slip away
Similar to line 3, awaiting the departure or fading away of someone
Braying down you door when I'm feeling bold
Asserting oneself aggressively when feeling confident
Two brothers in arms will carry your load
Referring to two supportive individuals ready to share the person's burdens
It's getting cold
Indicating a sense of decreasing warmth or emotional closeness
If I sing to you now will you hear me
Repetition of the question about expressing oneself through song
Will I feel you near me
Reiterating the desire for emotional proximity to the person
Just one last time
Repeating the desire for a final opportunity or chance
Acting like the man and for what it's worth
Behaving maturely or responsibly for one's actions
Went out of my head now I'm back on earth
Similar to line 11, regaining consciousness or coming back to reality
Take me back dancing in the old house
Revisiting joyful memories associated with an old house, akin to line 12
If I sing to you now will you hear me
Reiteration of the question about expressing oneself through song
Will I feel you near me
Reiterating the desire for emotional closeness or connection
Just one last time
Repeating the wish for a final opportunity or chance
Acting like the man and for what it's worth
Emphasizing the act of behaving responsibly or maturely
Went out of my head now I'm back on earth
Similar to lines 11 and 23, regaining mental clarity after confusion
Take me back dancing in the old house
Revisiting joyful memories associated with an old house, similar to lines 12 and 24
