When I Was Afraid
Embracing Fear: The Liberation Within 'When I Was Afraid'
Lyrics
Time kept me line
Time was a restraining force in my life
Kept me defined
Time provided definition or structure to my existence
It kept me safe when I was afraid
Time offered security during moments of fear
Kept me in line
Continuation of the idea that time kept the individual in check
Kept me defined
Emphasis on being well-defined by the passage of time
It kept me sane when I was afraid
Time maintained mental stability during fearful times
Counting the days
Engaging in a process of counting days
Pacing the sky
Anxiously waiting, possibly for a resolution
Holding every breath I had left in time
Holding onto every breath, possibly in anticipation or anxiety
Gravity, I can't forget
Gravity is a significant force that cannot be ignored
You saved my hide a thousand ways
Gravity played a crucial role in saving the person numerous times
Gravity, I can't forgive
Despite the positive impact, there is a lingering resentment towards gravity
You let me go
Release or letting go occurred, leading to a fall during fearful moments
I fell away when I was afraid
Falling away happened during times of fear
Falling away
A repetition of the idea of falling away or distancing
Out into space
Transitioning into an unknown or uncharted territory
Losing all my breath when I was afraid
Losing composure or stability when frightened
Love, it held me near
Love provided comfort and proximity during fearful times
You held me close
Continued closeness and protection offered by love
I couldn't die when I was afraid
The presence of love prevented the possibility of death during fear
You held me close
Reiteration of the protective role of love
I couldn't die
The individual couldn't die due to the supportive nature of love
I couldn't live when I was afraid
The paradoxical struggle to live when fear dominates
Fear was mine
Fear became a personal possession or experience
Fear was by my side
Fear was a constant companion
It kept me well
Fear played a dual role in maintaining well-being
Hell, it kept me alive
Despite the challenging nature, fear ensured survival
I counted days as they faded away
The passage of time marked by counting days, possibly with a sense of loss
I only felt sane when I was afraid
Sanity was only felt during fearful moments
