Never Let Me Know
Embracing Love's Unspoken Fears
Lyrics
The key is in the front door the clock is on the wall
The person is entering their home; time is being acknowledged.
The coals are in the fireplace nothing has moved at all
The environment appears unchanged, static, and undisturbed.
But as you look around you still nothings quite the same
Despite the appearance, something feels different or unsettling.
The windows are cracked the curtains are torn
Physical elements like windows and curtains are damaged or imperfect.
Your life disappoints if you want to be free
Life is disappointing, possibly a desire for freedom.
Hold me never let me know
A plea for emotional support and reassurance.
Do you stand upon the station or are you on the train?
Questioning the current state or direction of one's life.
Do you want to vanish or could we begin again?
Exploring the possibility of starting anew or rebuilding.
Do I just imagine or is it really true?
Uncertainty about reality or imagination.
You want to be free to be on your own
Desire for freedom and independence.
To start a new life you want to leave me
Expressing the wish to leave and begin a new life.
Hold me never let me know
Reiterating the plea for emotional connection and security.
Never let me know
Emphasizing the need to keep certain information undisclosed.
Never let the world we share together
Desire for the shared world to remain intact and not crumble.
Tumble, be destroyed
Fear of the destruction of the shared world.
Never let me know
Reiteration of the importance of keeping certain things unknown.
Always keep our dreams and memories
Preserving dreams and memories in the heart.
Cherished in your heart
Highlighting the importance of cherishing emotions.
On the road we travel sometimes I feel I know
Reflecting on the journey and claiming to understand the partner.
You'd rather walk without me please say it isn't so
Fear that the partner may prefer to be alone.
Just put your arms around me and never let me go
A plea for physical closeness and commitment.
Without you the world would be cruel and cold
Expressing the emotional impact of the partner's absence.
It cannot be true that you want to be free
Doubt about the sincerity of the partner's desire for freedom.
Hold me never let me go put your arms around me never let me go
Reiterating the plea to hold and never let go.
