Beautiful Island
Whispers of Wisdom: Thom LaFond's Beautiful Island Revelations
Lyrics
Some are dying
Some individuals are experiencing death.
Some are known by you
There are people known to the speaker.
Please be kindly
A plea for kindness is expressed.
Don't cut the line, just follow-through
Advice to avoid disruptions and instead continue with commitments.
When you leave me smiling
When departing with joy, leaving a positive impact.
The creek below, it heard us sing
A reference to shared moments by a creek, where singing took place.
Beautiful island
Describing a beautiful island, possibly metaphorical.
Comes to the shore to feel the spring
The beauty of the island reaching the shore in spring.
Hold my wild tangles, and I'll tell you what I've learned
Inviting someone to embrace the speaker's complexities for shared understanding.
When everything feels mangled, take the time you need to hurt
Suggesting the importance of taking time to heal when facing difficulties.
The rude awakening
Reference to an abrupt realization, possibly unpleasant.
Sunny days all wasted slow
Reflecting on days filled with sunshine, yet seemingly wasted.
Make it distant and haunted
Desiring to create distance and a sense of haunting.
Make some changes before I go
Expressing a need for changes before departing.
It's ok to hang around here
Encouraging someone to stay around despite challenges.
I like you well
Expressing fondness for someone.
Feet that never touch the ground
Describing feet that are grounded, possibly enduring hardships.
You wear like hell
Describing someone's worn-out appearance.
Hold my wild tangles, and I'll tell you what I've learned
Reiteration of inviting understanding for the speaker's complexities.
When everything feels mangled, take the time you need to hurt
Reinforcing the importance of taking time to heal during difficult times.
