Keep Me Around
Embracing Shadows: The Wood Brothers' Melodic Tale of Loneliness, Sadness, and Faith
Lyrics
hello I'm Lonely, I sweep up the place
Expressing loneliness, involved in cleaning or tidying up.
I go in early and I come home late
Starting work early and returning home late.
and one thing I never forget is a face
Not forgetting people's faces.
you keep me around
Feeling valued or wanted by someone.
you keep me around
-hello I'm Sad, I know I get in the way
Introducing sadness, acknowledging it might be intrusive.
you sit and you wonder how long I'm gonna stay
Others wondering about the duration of the presence of sadness.
while I show you the rainbow in all shades of grey
Despite sadness, showing the beauty in the midst of challenges.
you keep me around (I bring you down)
Acknowledging that sadness might bring others down.
you keep me around (I bring you down)
-hello I'm Faith and I might be blind
Introducing faith, possibly lacking sight but committed.
but I'm the one's gonna keep towin' the line
Being steadfast and reliable, even in difficult situations.
and you land on your feet almost every time
Assuring that things will work out positively.
sad and Lonely, they go and come
Highlighting the cyclical nature of sadness and loneliness.
you think you don't need 'em but you gotta have some
Emphasizing the necessity of experiencing sadness and loneliness.
try askin' the Dark where the Light comes from
Suggesting seeking guidance from challenges (Dark) for growth (Light).
hello I'm Faith and I might be blind
Reiteration of faith, emphasizing commitment despite limitations.
but I'm the one's gonna keep towin' the line
-and you land on your feet almost every time
Believing in resilience, landing on one's feet despite challenges.
