Ways Of Looking
Embracing Life's Canvas: Ways of Looking by The Mynabirds
Lyrics
And give me all your loving, and I'll give you all of mine
Expressing a desire for mutual love and commitment.
We can wash out all the red flags
Suggesting a willingness to address and resolve issues (red flags) in the relationship.
And then draw the line
Setting boundaries or making decisions after addressing the problems.
If we pain into the corner we'll wait for it to dry
Facing challenges and waiting for the difficulties to subside.
We can take our time
Encouraging patience and taking time to work through issues.
I lost my head in an avalanche
Metaphorically losing control or composure in a difficult situation.
The world turned over when I least expect
Unexpected disruptions or upheavals in life.
Buried me under my great plans
Feeling overwhelmed by one's ambitious plans.
Why can't it ever be easy
Expressing frustration about the challenges in life.
And then all the sparrow and the cornets
Referring to symbols (sparrows and cornets) representing different aspects of life or experiences.
They played their own version of taps
Symbolic performance or response to difficult situations.
Just when it seemed about hopeless
Feeling a sense of despair or hopelessness.
You counted one to ten
Finding hope or strength by counting and facing challenges step by step.
There are so many ways of looking
Highlighting the diverse perspectives available in approaching life.
Catch your breath
Encouraging a moment of reflection or pause.
It can be easy, if you just
Suggesting that dealing with challenges can be straightforward if approached with ease.
Let it
Emphasizing the importance of letting things unfold naturally.
I lose my sense at the sight of you
Expressing a personal struggle or vulnerability in the presence of someone special.
The effortless way you take the worst news
Admiring someone's ability to handle difficult news with grace.
You said you can move mountains with your point of view
Acknowledging the positive influence of someone's perspective.
It doesn't have to be so hard
Encouraging a belief that challenges can be less difficult than perceived.
And then all the sparrows and the cornets
Reintroducing symbols, possibly indicating recurring themes or experiences.
They started in with the same old set
Repetition of a familiar or routine pattern of behavior.
Before we guessed what it meant
Uncertainty about the meaning or significance of certain experiences.
We counted one to ten
Counting and facing challenges collectively, emphasizing unity or shared experiences.
There are so many ways of looking
Reiterating the theme of diverse perspectives and approaches to life.
Catch your breath
Encouraging another pause for reflection or respite.
It can be easy, if you just
Reiterating that dealing with challenges can be straightforward if approached with ease.
Let it
Reiterating the importance of letting things unfold naturally.
And give me all your loving and I'll give you all of mine
Repeating the desire for mutual love and commitment.
We can wash out all the red flags and then off the line
Reiterating the willingness to address and resolve issues in the relationship.
If we paint into the corner we'll wait for it to dry
Repeating the idea of facing challenges and waiting for resolution.
Even if it takes about all of my
Expressing a commitment to the relationship, even if it requires significant effort.
Cause I can't think of any way I'd rather
Expressing a positive sentiment about spending time in the relationship.
Spend my time
Concluding with a positive affirmation about the value of the relationship.
