Worry
Unspoken Concerns: True Sparrow's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Is she breathing OK
Expressing concern about the well-being of someone.
I bring my head in to hear
The speaker leans in to listen closely.
Her breath warms my face
Feeling the warmth of the person's breath on the speaker's face.
Dissolving all my fear
The comforting presence dispels the speaker's fear.
It's scary, more than I thought it would be
Acknowledging that the situation is more frightening than anticipated.
This worry, about someone other than me
Expressing worry about someone other than oneself.
But I care for you and that's why
Explaining that caring for the person is the reason for the worry.
I'll take this worry anytime
Committing to accepting this worry because of the care for the person.
Is she dreaming sweet things
Questioning whether the person is having pleasant dreams.
Is she dreaming in color
Wondering if the dreams are vivid and colorful.
Is she wrapped up in an angel's wings
Imagining the person wrapped in the protection of an angel's wings.
Or lying down in a field of flowers
Picturing the person lying in a field of flowers, possibly a peaceful scenario.
It's scary, more than I thought it would be
Reiterating the surprising and intense nature of the worry.
This worry, bout someone other than me
Reaffirming the concern for someone other than oneself.
But I care for you and that's why
Emphasizing that caring for the person is the cause of the worry.
I'll take this worry anytime
Committing to accepting the worry as it is linked to caring for the person.
Am I still in her thoughts
Questioning if the speaker is still on the person's mind.
It's easy, to think the worst
Noting the ease with which negative thoughts can dominate the mind.
Till my head is tied in knots
Describing the mental state where worries tie the speaker's head in knots.
And it feels like, it could burst
Expressing the intense pressure and potential emotional release related to worry.
