Hold Me Up to the Light
Embracing Life's Light: The Living Memories' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Everyday my whole world could end
Expressing the fragility of life, acknowledging that each day could bring an end to the familiar world.
But everyday a new one begins
Highlighting the cyclical nature of life, with each day presenting the opportunity for a new beginning.
I want to be a solid stone
Desiring to possess the strength and stability of a solid stone.
Yet gentle as rain
Aspiring to be both strong (like a stone) and gentle (like rain).
Dependable immovable
Describing the ideal of being reliable and unmovable.
Never afraid to change
Expressing a willingness to embrace change without fear.
I have only found
Reflecting on a limited number of significant discoveries or realizations.
One thing
Emphasizing the singularity and importance of the following statement.
To be true
Stating a universal truth or value that is held dear.
Everywhere is nowhere
Conveying the idea that being everywhere is equivalent to being nowhere without the presence of a significant other.
Without you
Expressing the dependence on a particular person for a sense of place and meaning.
I will be your moon in the dark of night
Promising to be a source of comfort and light in challenging times.
When you hold me up to the light
The plea to be metaphorically examined or scrutinized, suggesting transparency and vulnerability.
I didn't know the fear of loss
Admitting the realization of the fear of loss only after encountering a particular person.
Till i saw your face
Highlighting the impact of seeing the face of a significant person on the speaker's perception of fear.
I'll never blink, never move
Committing to unwavering loyalty and steadfastness.
Where you are that's my place
Declaring a specific person's location as the speaker's true place.
I want you to know me
Expressing a desire for deep understanding and acceptance from the significant person.
As i am
Desiring to be known authentically, flaws and all, while actively trying to improve.
Beautiful flawed but trying
Requesting empathy and comprehension from the significant person.
Please, understand.
Reiterating the limited number of profound truths or certainties in the speaker's life.
I have only found
Echoing the sentiment expressed in line 7, emphasizing a singular and significant realization.
One thing
Repeating the idea of a singular, unchanging truth in the speaker's life.
To be true
Declaring the dependence on a specific person for identity and significance.
I am no one, if not for you
Affirming that the speaker's existence gains meaning and identity through the presence of the significant person.
You are my moon in the dark of night
Recalling the earlier promise to be a source of comfort and light for the significant person.
Hold me up To the light
A metaphorical request to be examined or appreciated in the metaphorical light, suggesting a plea for understanding and acceptance.
