The Messenger
Unveiling Love's Battle: The Messenger's Poignant Revelation
Lyrics
Got a letter from a messenger
Received a message from a messenger
I read it when it came
Read the message upon its arrival
It said that you were wounded
Learned that the recipient was wounded
You were bound and chained
Describes the recipient as bound and chained
You had love and you were handled
Recipient experienced love but was mistreated
You were poisoned you were pained
Mention of poisoning and pain
Oh no you were naked
Recipient was exposed and vulnerable
You were shamed
Recipient felt shame
You could almost touch heaven
Expressing proximity to something heavenly
Right there in front of you
Heavenly experience in close reach
Liberty just slipped away on us
Loss of liberty, recognizing the need for action
Now there's so much work to do
Acknowledging the challenges ahead
Oh the door that closes tightly
Reference to a tightly closed door
Is the door than can swing wide
Suggests that a closed door can open wide
Oh no not expecting to collide
Unexpected collision or confrontation
For a minute I let my guard down
Temporary lapse of caution
Not afraid to be found out
Not afraid to be exposed or discovered
I completely forgot dear
Forgetfulness about fears
What our fears were all about
Acknowledging there's no need to be without something
Oh no there's no need to be without
Blank line, suggesting reflection on the preceding realization
If there's a chance I would take it
Expressing a willingness to take a chance
This desire I can't kill
Acknowledging an irresistible desire
Take my heart please don't break it
Pleading not to break the speaker's heart
I will crawl to your foothill
Willingness to go to great lengths for the desired one
I'm frightened but I'm coming
Expressing fear but still committing to the journey
Please baby please lay still
Pleading for stillness, possibly in a vulnerable moment
Oh no I'm not coming for the kill
Clarifying that the intent is not to harm but to approach with intent
