Arms of Forgiveness
Embracing Redemption: Totem and Tusk's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Whiskey at midnight
Seeking solace in whiskey during the midnight hours.
Tames the need to sleep
Using whiskey to suppress the need for sleep, possibly to escape reality.
And every note, and every word
Every musical note and word intensifies emotions and pulls the person deeper.
Drags me to the deep
Feeling drawn into a profound emotional state.
Like a pleasure cruise amidst the booze
Describing the experience as a pleasure cruise in the midst of alcohol, providing temporary relief from life's storms.
It keeps the storm at bay
Alcohol serving as a distraction to keep emotional turmoil away.
And the pain I'd feel is tomorrow's deal
Anticipating pain to be dealt with in the future.
Oh that's for another day
Postponing emotional distress to another day.
And make me believe, you'll always hold on
Pleading to be reassured and held onto.
And make me believe, My foolish doubts oh are wrong
Asking to dispel doubts and insecurities.
And lay me beneath the swaying bows of a willow
Imagery of lying beneath a willow tree, a symbol of sorrow, during a storm.
That dances in the storm
Depicting a willow tree dancing in a storm, representing emotional turbulence.
Lay me beneath your loving arms of forgiveness
Expressing a desire to be embraced by forgiving love.
I'm clinging to a thing or two
Holding onto a few positive aspects despite challenges.
That's seems to shine a light
Noticing something that brings light and hope.
And it's been a few since I've promised you
Making promises for an early night, suggesting a commitment to positive change.
A civil early night
Struggling to keep that commitment.
But the ghosts are out, and you know about
Acknowledging inner struggles and the presence of ghosts.
The shadows in my mind
Being aware of shadows in the mind, likely representing inner demons.
So take a rest, and let me best
Requesting a break to confront and overcome personal demons.
Oh the demons that I find
Asking for support in facing inner demons.
And make me believe, you'll always hold on
Reiterating the plea to believe and hold on.
Make me believe, My foolish doubts oh are wrong
Challenging doubts and insecurities.
And lay me beneath the swaying bows of a willow
Repeating the imagery of lying beneath a willow during a storm.
That dances in the storm
Reiterating the desire for forgiveness and comfort.
Lay me beneath your loving arms of forgiveness
And make me believe, you'll always hold on
Repeating the plea for belief and support.
And make me believe, My foolish doubts oh are wrong
Emphasizing the need to dispel doubts and insecurities.
And lay me beneath the swaying bows of a willow
Reiterating the imagery of seeking refuge beneath a willow during a storm.
That dances in the storm
Desiring comfort and forgiveness.
Lay me beneath your loving arms of forgiveness
