String and Bow
Unveiling Love's Ghost: String and Bow by Tom Baxter
Lyrics
Half of what I say in vain,
Expressing that only half of the speaker's words are sincere or have meaning.
Though I say it anyway.
Despite the potential futility, the speaker chooses to express themselves regardless.
I loved you.
Affirmation of love towards someone.
Underneath my armour there remains,
Despite a tough exterior, there is a lingering emotional connection to the person.
A hidden ghost of you each day.
A metaphorical presence of the loved one persists within the speaker.
I loved you.
Reiteration of love for the same person.
Aim your string and bowand let it go...
An urging to take action, possibly indicating a desire to release emotions.
I loved you.
Reaffirmation of love.
Angel set me free, don't punish me because I loved you.
Requesting freedom from consequences, emphasizing the speaker's love.
Deep inside my sorrow, I'm estranged.
Feeling distanced and detached within personal sorrow.
Part of me has been erased.
Indicating a sense of loss or change within the speaker.
I loved you.
Reiteration of love despite the changes or losses.
Aimless as an arrow without a bow,
Feeling purposeless, lacking direction, and comparing oneself to an arrow without a bow.
I've no direction, no way home.
Expressing a state of being lost without a clear path home.
I loved you.
Reaffirmation of love despite the aimlessness.
Aim your string and bow and let it go...
A repetition of the desire for action, possibly to release emotions.
I loved you.
Confirmation of love despite the repeated call for action.
Angel set me free,don't punish me
Pleading for freedom from punishment due to love.
Because I loved you.
Emphasizing the consequences faced because of love.
On and on our story goes, the river overflows,
Reflecting on the continuing journey of the speaker's love story.
Time and time and time again I've tried to let you go
Repeated attempts to move on from the person, expressed through time.
Aim your string and bow and let it go...
Reiteration of the desire for action to release emotions and move forward.
I loved you.
Final confirmation of the enduring love despite the challenges faced.
