Coral and Gold
Yearning in Coral and Gold: Embracing Distance and Unfulfilled Longing
Lyrics
I've been waiting for you, just waiting for you
Waiting for the anticipated arrival of someone
When you gonna turn?
Questioning when the person will undergo a significant change or transformation
I've been tracing your spine, mixing your blood with mine
Symbolically exploring intimacy and connection by mingling one's essence with another
When you gonna turn?
Repeating the inquiry about the timing of the transformation or change
When you gonna turn around and tell me how
Asking when the person will turn around and communicate openly about feelings and desires
All I want won't be
Expressing a desire that everything desired won't be unattainable or beyond reach
Coming down to where I'm found, your silent vows
Referring to a location or state where personal connections are acknowledged, possibly hinting at emotional availability
Steal the life from me
Conveying a sense of emotional depletion or drain due to unreciprocated love
I've sentenced myself to the outskirts
Self-imposing isolation or separation from the mainstream, possibly for emotional reasons
I've wandered the places we'd go
Reflecting on past shared experiences or memories with the person
I drank down the streets with a taste of defeat
Metaphorically drinking down the sorrows or challenges faced together
'til the sky turned to coral and gold
Describing a moment of beauty or transformation when the ordinary turns extraordinary
You're further than the ocean goes, my love
Expressing emotional distance, comparing it to the vastness of the ocean
You're further than the ocean goes,
Reiterating the idea of immense separation, questioning the adequacy of love
And my love's not enough
Acknowledging that personal love might not be sufficient to bridge the emotional gap
To reach you
Concluding that the speaker's love alone is insufficient to reach the distant person
