Dragonfly
Finding Salvation in the Flight of a Dragonfly
Lyrics
Dragonfly caught my eye on the riverbank this morning
Observation of a dragonfly by the river in the morning.
Made me thing of all the times I run away from the things
Reflecting on past instances of avoiding challenges or responsibilities.
The rivers running high from last nights rain
Noting the increased water level in the river after last night's rain.
I found this melody to cover up the pain
Discovering a melody as a coping mechanism for emotional pain.
Woh..mercy on my mind, mercy on my mind
Expressing a plea for mercy concerning inner thoughts or struggles.
An old love that isn't anymore
Reflecting on a past love that no longer exists.
An old life that was comfortable has shown me to the door
Acknowledging a comfortable old life that has come to an end.
Shadows fall in the darkeness outside these tent walls
Describing shadows in the darkness around a tent, symbolizing the thin barrier between the narrator and life's challenges.
Just a thin veil between me and the madness of it all
Highlighting the vulnerability of the narrator in facing the complexities of life.
Woh ..mercy on mind, mercy on my mind
Reiterating a plea for mercy concerning the narrator's thoughts or emotions.
Dragonfly in the molted body, under the water till you fly, under the water till you fly, underthewater till you fly
Metaphorically comparing a dragonfly's transformation to the narrator's journey of overcoming challenges and taking flight.
What is truth when it leads you away? A leading edge on a ledge, when all I got is faith,
Pondering the nature of truth and its potential to lead away from one's path, emphasizing reliance on faith.
What is belief? Seems like everything today. Seems like everything today.
Questioning the significance of belief in the present day, suggesting its pervasive influence.
Woh ..mercy on mind, mercy on my mind
Repeating the plea for mercy on the narrator's mind, emphasizing an ongoing internal struggle.
