Darling Shade
Unveiling Shadows: The Poetic Odyssey of 'Darling Shade'
Lyrics
When you add your voice to bad choices
Engaging in poor decisions by expressing your opinion
Then you're not-so-white becomes mannered
Your seemingly innocent actions become affected by affected manners
Stripping down the walls like quicksilver
Tearing down barriers swiftly, like quicksilver
Dripping down as slowly as solvent
Slowly descending, akin to a solvent
And for you, the Pulitzer Prize
Receiving recognition, sarcastically, for putting yourself in danger
For stepping into traffic
Awarded metaphorically for venturing recklessly into challenges
Now anew the Americas
A renewed focus on the Americas, possibly a metaphor for personal growth
You broke through, you're laughing
Breaking through obstacles and finding joy in the process
We have found no use for the profane
Rejecting or finding no value in disrespectful language or behavior
Searching for the gods in our corners
Searching for meaning or guidance in unconventional places
With the ignorance of a poet
Approaching life with the blissful ignorance of a poet
An unbreakable focus of mortars
Having an unwavering focus amidst chaotic situations
Darling shade our shadows
Requesting protection or comfort for our vulnerabilities
Darling shade, a shadow
Reiterating the plea for protection and comfort in the form of a shadow
Was it singing from the bad choices
Questioning if the expression comes from making poor choices
Or is it singing without a pretense
Wondering if the expression is genuine or without a facade
When you give your mind to your voices
Surrendering your thoughts to your inner voices
You accept the terms of your sentence
Accepting the consequences of your choices
And for you the Pulitzer Prize
Ironically earning recognition for enduring difficult times
For time served, you're walking
Walking away after serving time and gaining experience
And now, anew the Americas
A renewed focus on personal growth and development
You broke through, it's nothing
Breaking through challenges without significant impact
Darling shade our shadow
A repeated plea for protection and comfort for vulnerabilities
You can get to climb the new tower
Opportunity to ascend in life but questioning the ability to adapt
Thinking you could learn a new language
Believing in the possibility of learning and adapting to new situations
Don't you want to turn a few favors
Considering whether it's worth returning favors after being neglected
Since you left everybody hanging
Leaving others in suspense or abandoning them
Darling shade our shadows
Reiterating the plea for protection and comfort in the face of vulnerabilities
