Calm Before the Calm
Echoes of Life's Quiet Desperation
Lyrics
Sit at the side
Sitting on the sidelines, observing life.
Watch your life go by
Passively witnessing the passage of time.
On the bench opposite you
Across from you sits the person you will marry.
Is your future wife
Anticipation of a future life partner.
Sit beside her
Sit next to her and establish a connection.
Look into her eyes
Engage in deep eye contact with your potential spouse.
What was that sound?
An unexpected noise disrupts the moment.
Oh
Expression of surprise or realization.
Did you hear that honey?
Sharing the moment with a loved one.
This is the calm before the calm
Highlighting a phase of tranquility before a deeper calm.
This is the calm before the calm
Reiteration of the calm before a more profound calm.
Have a child
Suggesting the idea of having a child.
Have it grow to hate you
Expectation that the child may grow to resent the parent.
And loathe you
Emphasizing potential negativity in the parent-child relationship.
Send it out there
Sending the child into the world.
Grab a ticket
Purchasing a ticket, possibly indicating a journey or experience.
Get in line behind you
Queueing up behind the child, symbolizing following their path.
Remember that place
Recalling a place associated with happiness.
Where you used to smile
The place where joy once existed.
It's now where you cry
The transformation of a happy place into one of sorrow.
What was that sound?
A repeat of an unexpected sound, disrupting peace.
Oh
Reiteration of surprise or realization.
Did you hear that honey?
Sharing the disrupted moment with a loved one again.
This is the calm before the calm
Reiteration of the calm before a deeper calm.
This is the calm before the calm
Continuation of the theme of anticipating a profound calm.
