Walking Wounded
Shelter Amidst Pain: Embracing Life's Trials
Lyrics
We lit the match, dropped it and waited
We intentionally started something and waited for the consequences.
Just to see how beautiful,
Testing the beauty and pain of a situation by taking deliberate action.
And painful it could be
Observing the mixed emotions and consequences resulting from the action taken.
It's funny how clear,
Surprising clarity in one's eyes after shedding tears.
Your eyes get from crying
How life can feel purified or clearer after experiencing hardship or emotional pain.
It's funny how clean, your life gets from dying.
Commenting on the irony that sometimes life feels cleaner or more refined after experiencing a form of 'death' or hardship.
You know your sleeves are long,
A metaphor for waiting for an outcome or resolution.
Waiting on an answer
Seeking answers or solutions while enduring a prolonged wait.
All we want is shelter
Desiring protection or safety from challenging or difficult moments.
From the times that bring us down.
Seeking refuge from circumstances that cause emotional distress or hardship.
You know your sleeves are long,
Repeated expression of waiting for an answer or resolution.
Waiting on an answer
Anticipating safety or assurance.
Just to be protected
Desire to be shielded from internal uncertainties and insecurities.
From the doubt that's in our heart
Seeking protection from doubts residing within oneself.
Been at the bottom, soared to the sun
Experiencing extreme lows and then soaring to great heights.
Just to see how beautiful
Exploring the beauty and pain associated with extreme experiences.
And painful it could be
Continuing the theme of observing the emotional consequences of actions.
Wings that were ours, broken from trying
Struggling and breaking despite efforts.
Wings that were ours, melted from flying
Efforts leading to failure or damage despite initial success.
You know your sleeves are long,
Reiteration of waiting for an answer or resolution.
Waiting on an answer
Continued longing for answers or solutions.
All we want is shelter
Desire for shelter or protection from difficult times.
From the times that bring us down.
Seeking refuge from circumstances causing distress.
You know your sleeves are long,
Repetition of waiting for an answer or resolution.
Waiting on an answer
Hoping for safety or security.
Just to be protected
Yearning to be shielded from internal doubts and uncertainties.
From the doubt that's in our heart
Seeking protection from doubts residing within oneself.
You know your sleeves are long,
Reiteration of waiting for an answer or resolution.
Waiting on an answer
Continued longing for answers or solutions.
All we want is shelter
Desire for shelter or protection from difficult times.
From the times that bring us down.
Seeking refuge from circumstances causing distress.
You know your sleeves are long,
Repetition of waiting for an answer or resolution.
Waiting on an answer
Hoping for safety or security.
Just to be protected
Yearning to be shielded from internal doubts and uncertainties.
From the doubt that's in our heart
Seeking protection from doubts residing within oneself.
