Love Moat
Navigating Love's Fortress: Thomas Newton's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
I used to think that I could do anything I wanted on my own
I used to believe in my ability to achieve anything independently.
All for show, I’m not better off alone
All my efforts were just for show; I'm not better off being alone.
I used to swim in water that protected this castle home
I used to navigate through protective waters surrounding my castle home.
I didn’t know, I’d get caught by the undertow
Unexpectedly, I got caught by a powerful undertow.
Who can I be right now
Questioning who I can be in the present moment.
To take this drawbridge down
Considering what actions can bring down the drawbridge of my defenses.
Who can I be right now
Reflecting on my identity to facilitate the lowering of defenses.
To let this moat dry out
Contemplating how to allow the protective moat to dry up.
Every highway
Every path and journey.
Every road
Every way traveled.
Love can take you home
Love has the power to guide you back home.
Every time I
Each instance when I attempted.
Built a Love Moat
Creating a defensive barrier (Love Moat).
I was living on my own
I lived in isolation.
I tried to build a bridge, fill up the moat, to protect my heart
Attempting to build connections and protect my heart, but left in darkness.
Waters low, I’m left with pieces in the dark
Water levels are low, and I'm left with emotional fragments.
I tried to close a door, too hard to stay, and my friends depart
Struggling to keep relationships intact, losing friends.
I fell short, I lost the key to restart
Failing to restart or renew connections.
Who can I be right now
Asking about my current identity.
To take this drawbridge down
Considering actions to lower defensive barriers.
Who can I be right now
Reflection on present identity to allow emotional barriers to diminish.
To let this moat dry out
Contemplating how to let go of emotional defenses.
Every highway
Every journey and path taken.
Every road
Every route followed.
Love can take you home
Love can guide you back home.
Every time I
Each time I constructed a Love Moat.
Built a Love Moat
Living in isolation as a result.
I was living on my own
Repeating the cycle of building emotional barriers.
Every highway
Every journey and path taken.
Every road
Every route followed.
Love can take you home
Love has the power to guide you back home.
Every time I
Each time I constructed a Love Moat.
Built a Love Moat
Living in isolation as a result.
I was living on my own
Repeating the cycle of building emotional barriers.
