Higher Than the Wall
Love Breaking Barriers: Higher Than the Wall
Lyrics
There are walls made of paper, and walls made of stone
There are different types of barriers, some easily overcome (paper walls) and some more challenging (stone walls).
And some that are made out of livin' alone
Loneliness itself can be a formidable barrier.
I built a wall no one could break down
The speaker constructed an emotional barrier that seemed impenetrable.
Locked up my heart where it couldn't be found
Emotionally closed off, keeping feelings hidden and protected.
You saw past my shackles and let love unfold
Someone (possibly the person the song is addressed to) saw through the speaker's defenses and allowed love to blossom.
Showed me the truth from the lies I'd been told
Revealed the reality behind falsehoods the speaker had believed.
My heart was a prisoner like no heart at all
The speaker's heart was confined like that of a prisoner.
Till your love reached higher than the wall
The transformative power of love that transcends barriers.
Higher than the wall a thousand feet tall
Emphasizes the height and strength of the emotional barrier.
High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall
Describes the emotional darkness the speaker was in.
Your love reached higher, where it's better and brighter
Love elevated the speaker's life to a better and brighter state.
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall
Reiterates that the love surpassed the formidable wall.
Now I'm wearin' freedom instead of those chains
The speaker is now free from emotional chains.
Empty reminders don't cause me no pain
Past reminders no longer bring pain.
It's all gone away like the leaves in the fall
All negative aspects have disappeared, akin to the falling leaves in autumn.
'Cause your love reached higher than the wall
Love has triumphed over past barriers.
Higher than the wall a thousand feet tall
Reiteration of the height and strength of the emotional barrier.
High above the darkness where the blue shadows fall
Describes the darkness that the love has overcome.
Your love reached higher, where it's better and brighter
Highlights the elevated and improved state achieved through love.
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall
Confirms that love has triumphed over the formidable wall.
Yeah, your love reached higher than the wall
Reiteration of the idea that love has overcome the emotional barrier.
