Though You Gleam
Guiding Light Amidst Shadows: Though You Gleam
Lyrics
I'll wait for you
Waiting patiently for someone
Inside a shaking body
Experiencing inner turmoil or anxiety
And a darkened road is not for you
Suggesting that a challenging path is not suitable for the person
You are a lighthouse
Comparing the person to a guiding light, a positive influence
In the woods, by the darkest oceans
Describing the person as a beacon of light in difficult surroundings
But I can't find you
Expressing difficulty in finding the person despite their positive qualities
Though you gleam
Despite the person's brightness, they remain elusive or distant
I can't find my way through the plants, and the reeds, and the trees
Struggling to navigate through obstacles to reach the person
But I'll be around you again
Expressing determination to be near the person again
You're not frozen
Asserting that the person is not emotionally frozen or distant
As the daylight wraps around you
Describing the person surrounded by daylight, suggesting warmth
Strangers know you
Acknowledging that strangers are aware of the person
But I am told not to ask how
Being advised not to inquire about the person's situation
I am not a child
Asserting maturity despite wild or intense eyes
Though my eyes are wild
Describing the intensity of the speaker's gaze
I can't hold the dust
Unable to retain something fragile or fleeting
Anymore
Expressing an inability to hold onto something any longer
While I'm waiting
Implying waiting in anticipation
In the room
Referencing a location where the speaker is waiting
When your eyes open up
Questioning if the person is fully present or engaged
Are you back in the room?
Asking if the person has returned to the speaker's awareness
And the window to our house
Indicating a barrier to communication or connection
Is closing
Suggesting a closure or separation after the person
After you
Expressing a sense of following or observing
So I watch through
Continuing to observe or follow the person
And I wonder
Pondering about the consequences of a personal change
If my skin fell off
Reflecting on the impact of losing a protective layer
Would I wander through
Contemplating a journey without a protective barrier
To you?
Questioning the possibility of reaching the person without societal influences
If the social aspects of love
Speculating on the impact of removing social complexities from love
Were removed
Exploring the idea of simplifying the concept of love
Would I walk to you?
Considering the possibility of approaching the person without external influences
