Mother of Earth
Journey Through Pain: Echoes of Longing
Lyrics
I've gone down the river of sadness
I've experienced profound sorrow and emotional pain.
I've gone down the river of pain
Continuing the theme of emotional hardship, navigating through a metaphorical river of pain.
In the dark, under the wires
Amidst darkness and obstacles represented by wires, facing challenges.
I hear them call my name
Hearing a call, possibly a beckoning or a recognition of identity.
I gave you the key to the highway
Symbolically giving someone access to the pathways of life and intimacy.
And the key to my motel door
Granting access to personal spaces, like a motel room, indicating trust.
And I'm tired of leaving and leaving
Expressing weariness and fatigue from a pattern of leaving, signaling a desire for change.
So, I won't come back no more
Deciding not to return, suggesting a break from a cycle or relationship.
Oh, my dark-eyed friend
Addressing a mysterious, possibly significant person with dark eyes.
I'm recalling you again
Recalling memories of this person, indicating a connection or longing.
Soft voices that speak nothing
Noticing soft voices that convey nothing substantial, possibly representing a lack of communication.
Speak nothing to the end
Suggesting a lack of meaningful communication leading to an uncertain or unresolved conclusion.
Oh, Mother of Earth
Referring to a maternal figure associated with the earth, symbolizing nurturing and grounding.
The blind they call
People with limited perception (the blind) seek assistance but remain distant or unreachable.
But, yet stay behind the wall
Describing a barrier or obstacle that prevents connection or understanding.
Their sadness grows like weeds
Expressing the proliferation of sorrow, perhaps symbolized by the growth of weeds.
Upon my thighs and knees
Emphasizing the emotional burden, with the thighs and knees representing vulnerability.
Oh, Mother of Earth
Reiterating the connection to the nurturing Mother Earth, possibly seeking solace.
The wind is hot
Describing a heated or intense atmosphere in the presence of Mother Earth.
I tried my best, but I could not
Acknowledging efforts made despite challenges but ultimately facing limitations.
And my eyes fade from me
Sensing a loss of clarity or vision in the expansive and open surroundings.
In this open country
Concluding with a sense of detachment or distance in the vast open country.
