Hold Me
Embracing Shadows: Tom's White Garden's Poetic Journey through Solitude and Loss
Lyrics
Hold me
Expressing a desire for emotional support and closeness.
Hold me closely
Emphasizing the need for physical and emotional proximity.
As we wait for the end
Waiting for an unspecified conclusion or outcome.
Darling
Expressing a sense of loneliness.
I’ve been lonely
Acknowledging a period of solitude.
Traversing life without a friend
Navigating life without companionship.
Slowly it comes
Describing a gradual arrival of something.
Slowly it falls
Depicting a slow descent or decline.
Slowly it eats down my soul
Conveying the impact of a gradual erosion on the soul.
Slowly it comes
Repeating the description of a gradual process.
Slowly it falls
Reiterating a slow fall and its effect on the soul.
Slowly it eats down my soul
Highlighting the continuing impact on the soul.
I can’t seem to find a light
Expressing difficulty in finding positivity or hope.
I can’t seem to find a light
Repeating the challenge of finding light.
Life just seems to try and hide
Suggesting life's tendency to conceal positive aspects.
In a dark corridor
Metaphorically describing a challenging phase in life.
Lately
Reiterating a sense of loneliness and separation.
I’ve been lonely
Expressing a prolonged period of isolation.
It’s been so long since you’ve left me behind
Referring to the departure of someone significant.
Goodbye
Announcing a farewell without remorse or apology.
Without sorry
Stating that a goodbye lacking regret holds no meaning.
Doesn’t mean a thing
Emphasizing the insignificance of a remorseless farewell.
And you know why
Asserting understanding of the reason behind the goodbye.
Hold on to this
Encouraging the retention of reminders of despair.
Old trophies of despair
Symbolizing past struggles and challenges.
Hold on to these
Encouraging holding onto painful memories expressed through words.
Painful words
Acknowledging the presence of hurtful expressions.
I don’t care
Expressing indifference or a lack of concern.
I can’t seem to find a light
Reiterating the difficulty in finding positivity or hope.
I can’t seem to find a light
Repeating the challenge of finding light.
Life just seems to try and hide
Reemphasizing life's tendency to conceal positive aspects.
In a dark corridor
Continuing the metaphor of life as a dark and challenging passage.
