When Love Goes Dark
Embracing Shadows: Navigating Love's Abyss with Tommy Ashby
Lyrics
My redemption is slow burning,
Redemption is a slow, gradual process.
With no stop signs and no turning,
There are no clear signals or options to change direction.
When you got someone who believes they're right,
When someone is convinced of their righteousness.
Would you bring knife to a gun fight,
Choosing a disadvantageous situation against someone stronger.
Your suffering while they're learning,
Experiencing pain while others are gaining knowledge.
When your body is going under,
Feeling overwhelmed or sinking.
And there's something you gotta find,
Searching for something important.
When your god is out of thunder,
When the power or belief system seems ineffective.
And you're walking on the wire.
In a precarious or risky situation.
Hold on tight to your heart,
Reinforcing the need to protect one's emotions in difficult times.
Hold on tight to your heart,
-When love goes dark,
-Hold on tight to your heart.
-Your secrets are worth hiding,
The value of keeping certain things private.
We're living in a wasteland honey,
Describing society as a desolate place, implying materialism.
when you cover it in money it gets so exciting,
Money makes things enticing or alluring.
When you know something doesn't feel quite,
Sensing something wrong or off.
Could you tell a little white lie?
Would you tell a small lie to avoid confrontation?
It's just half a heart, don't tell me that's too far,
Accepting a situation halfway rather than going all in.
When your body is going under,
Reinforcing the need to protect one's emotions in difficult times.
And there's something you gotta find,
-When your god is out of thunder,
-And you're walking on a line.
-Hold on tight to your heart,
-Hold on tight to your heart,
-When love goes dark,
-Hold on tight to your heart
-Are you so certain?
Questioning certainty about relationships or beliefs.
Of the people you are loving,
Being sure about the people you care for.
Are you always going to trust them?
Will trust always be present in those relationships?
Is their sanctuary a sin?
Is the place they consider safe actually a source of wrongdoing?
Are you so certain?
Questioning certainty about relationships or beliefs.
Hold on tight to your heart,
Reinforcing the need to protect one's emotions in difficult times.
Hold on tight to your heart,
-When love goes dark,
-Hold on tight to your heart
-Hold on tight to your heart,
-Hold on tight to your heart,
-When love goes dark,
-Hold on tight to your heart
-Hold on tight to your heart,
-Hold on tight to your heart,
-When love goes dark,
-Hold on tight to your heart
