No Storm
Embracing Echoes: Tora Augestad's Tale of Tranquil Chaos
Lyrics
No storm in my bathtub
No disturbance or trouble in my immediate surroundings
The water on the floor
The water spilled on the floor
Was created by flirtatious movements
The water was a result of playful and suggestive movements
I was so comfortable
I felt at ease and relaxed
Reading about the blood that flushes
I was comfortable reading about intense emotions and experiences
Somewhere else
These emotions were happening elsewhere, not directly affecting me
No dirt on my towel
No impurity or stain on my towel
The stains on my pillow
The marks on my pillow
Were remains of cosmetic mascara
Stains on the pillow were from cosmetic mascara, not from distress
I was so clean
I felt morally clean and comfortable
Reading about the bloody sheets
Reading about intense emotional experiences related to bed sheets
Somewhere else
These experiences were happening somewhere else, not in my immediate life
No pain in my daughter's cry
No emotional pain in the cry of my daughter
The tears on her cheeks
Tears on her cheeks were easily comforted with a gentle kiss
Were easily dried with a gentle kiss
I felt a sense of relief
I was so relieved
Thinking about intense emotions related to faces, but not directly experiencing them
Thinking about the bloody faces
These emotional faces were somewhere else, not in my immediate surroundings
Somewhere else
Reflecting on intense emotions happening elsewhere
