When Mute Tongues Can Speak
Echoes of Forgiveness: Unveiling Depths in 'When Mute Tongues Can Speak'
Lyrics
When mute tongues can speak
Expressing the idea of communication overcoming silence.
And relate their need
Highlighting the ability to convey and express needs.
I make fun of skins laying in a dark room
Making a mocking reference to discarded skins in a dark room, possibly metaphorical.
In a piglet's eye
An enigmatic reference, possibly suggesting a deceptive or untrustworthy situation.
If the dream had wings
Imagining a dream with wings and the vulnerability if those wings were absent.
Then the nest of feathers could freeze without them
Metaphorically describing a delicate situation that could go wrong without essential elements.
I never knew how to fear correctly
Reflecting on a lack of knowledge in handling fear appropriately.
When we were seven we would hit directly
Recalling a childhood experience of direct confrontation at the age of seven.
By some misgiving that you dealt ineptly
Suggesting a misunderstanding or mishandling of a situation by someone.
All was forgiven when you knelt to help me
Describing forgiveness after receiving assistance and support.
See the boy of smiles
Introducing a character, possibly a cheerful boy with a teardrop-shaped face.
With the teardrop shape
Depicting the boy's emotional vulnerability and distress.
Shuddering and crying with the wind knocked from him
Describing the boy's physical and emotional pain with a knocked wind.
And the kids just stare
Observing the reaction of others to the boy's situation.
Is this guy for real
Questioning the authenticity of the boy's experience.
Some mistakes are all too apparent
Acknowledging obvious mistakes that are hard to ignore.
It's nothing personal--just a lousy memory
Stating that a lousy memory is not a personal attack.
Dissected birds are my adopted family
Connecting with dissected birds as a metaphor for a chosen, perhaps unconventional, family.
I pool myself until I see anemones
Describing a self-reflection process until the vision of sea anemones appears.
All was forgiven when you knelt to help me
Reiterating forgiveness when assistance is offered.
In a can of boys
Introducing a can of boys, possibly referring to a group of individuals.
Across a crowd of thorns
Describing a challenging situation amid a crowd.
Everyone is laughing all expensive painful
Highlighting laughter in the face of expensive pain.
Windbreaker is torn
Noting a torn windbreaker as a symbol of vulnerability.
Friendly tree has scars
Observing scars on a friendly tree, possibly representing resilience.
Experience is necessary to be normal
Stating that experience is essential for normalcy.
I never knew how to fear correctly
Reiterating a lack of knowledge in handling fear effectively.
