Hot Wax to a Stone
Emotional Souls Dancing: Hot Wax to a Stone
Lyrics
This is a song for a sad young man
This song is dedicated to a melancholic young man.
A song for a drifter a dreamer
It is also for a wanderer, a visionary.
Picking up stones on his way back home
He collects stones on his journey back home.
Trying to find something to believe in
He is searching for something meaningful to believe in.
He's been propping up bars playing cheap guitars
He spends time in bars, playing guitars, trying to make sense of life.
Trying to make some sense of it all
Struggling to understand the complexities of existence.
Knocking back jacks while the barfly's chat
Drinking in bars while engaging with barflies.
And Jesus just walks out the door
A reference to a moment where Jesus metaphorically leaves.
He still don't know what faith means
He still doesn't comprehend the concept of faith.
Says he lost it a long time ago
He claims to have lost faith a long time ago.
My emotional boy
Addressing the young man emotionally.
I see those sparks in your eyes
Noticing sparks of emotion in his eyes.
I see that candle of hope as it flickers and curls
Seeing a flickering candle of hope in his soul.
At the windows of your soul
Describing the windows of his soul metaphorically.
And a tear drips down his cheek like hot wax to a stone
A tear falls like hot wax onto a stone, expressing deep sorrow.
Now this is a song for that sad young girl
Now the focus shifts to a sorrowful young girl.
It's a song for the cruelty of beauty
Acknowledging the harshness of beauty's cruelty.
She's way up in her room playing through her favourite tunes
She is isolated, engaging with music and old magazines.
Flicking through old vogue magazines
Flipping through fashion magazines, disconnected from reality.
Smoking cheap cigarettes in her high heeled shoes
Indulging in vices, like smoking, while wearing high-heeled shoes.
Dancing naked like Marilyn Monroe
Imitating Marilyn Monroe's iconic dance, possibly to escape.
Wiping the wine from her lips as a teardrop drips
Wiping away wine, shedding a tear into a sea of vanity.
Into vanities wide ocean of fear
Lost in the vast ocean of fear, not understanding love.
She still don't know what love is
Similar to the young man, she has lost love long ago.
Say's she lost it a long time ago
Emphasizing her emotional state.
My emotional girl
Seeing emotional sparks in her eyes.
I see those sparks in your eyes
Observing a flickering candle of hope in her soul.
I see that candle of hope as it flickers and curls
Describing the windows of her soul metaphorically.
At the windows of your soul
A tear falls like hot wax onto a stone, expressing her deep sorrow.
And a tear drips down her cheek
Continuing the narrative of tears falling like hot wax.
like hot wax to a stone
Expressing profound sadness shared by both the young man and girl.
now this is a song for those sad young souls
Expanding the song to encompass all sad young souls.
and It's a song for a moment a meeting
Highlighting a specific moment, a meaningful encounter.
he's in a back-street bar he's playing cheap guitar
Set in a back-street bar, featuring a person playing a guitar.
And then his eyes catch the kindness of her beauty
The meeting of eyes, recognizing the kindness in her beauty.
As she strolls through the room in those high heeled shoes
She gracefully moves through the room in high-heeled shoes.
Dancing slowly to the magic of his music
Dancing slowly to the enchanting music.
Then there picking up stones on their way back home
Similar to the young man, they collect stones on their way back home.
Finding sapphires, diamonds and pearls
Discovering valuable treasures - sapphires, diamonds, and pearls.
She says I think I now know what love is
She believes she now understands what love is.
Please hold me now don't let me go
Pleading to be held, expressing vulnerability and a desire to stay.
My emotional boy oh how I see the sparks in your eyes
Revisiting the emotional state of the young man.
I see that candle of hope as it flickers and curls
Observing sparks and a flickering candle of hope in his eyes and soul.
at the windows of your soul
Metaphorically describing the windows of his soul.
a tear drips down their cheeks like hot wax to a stone
A tear falls like hot wax onto a stone, symbolizing shared sorrow.
