Too Old To Die Young
Eternal Surrender: Too Old To Die Young Insights
Lyrics
These signs of natural disasters
Warning signs of impending natural disasters
Predictions of a brutal force
Forecasts of a powerful and destructive force
In case you're thinking of escaping
Suggesting escape as an option
Before you wake, I'll take your horse
Acting before awakening, possibly seizing control
No incantation now will save us
No magical words can rescue us
Now that we're too old to die young
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging
You may not look inside my mind anymore
Privacy boundaries, no access to thoughts
But always standard time takes over
Regular time takes precedence
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
Repetition of giving up everything
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now
-My eunuch on your mystic parkway
A symbolic figure on a mysterious path
I kept my eyes and arms bereft
Maintaining distance emotionally
Our garden would not grow by flash light
Struggling to nurture a relationship
I kept so quiet I went deaf
Silence leading to emotional detachment
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
Reiterating the act of giving up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
Continued emphasis on surrendering
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now
-You may not look inside my mind anymore
Reiteration of mental privacy boundaries
Now you may leave my arms of moss
Allowing separation, releasing emotional ties
And it's time we burned our bridges down
Deciding to burn bridges, suggesting finality
So I know I won't come creeping to your cross
A commitment not to return or seek solace
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
Final repetition of the act of giving up
I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up
-I'm givin' it, givin' it, givin' it givin' it all up now
