Building Wraps Round Me
Embraced by the City: Turin Brakes' Melodic Escape
Lyrics
I may be bleeding, but I don't care
The speaker is experiencing pain or hardship, but they are indifferent or unconcerned about it.
See where I'm leading, see I'm almost there
The speaker is indicating progress or advancement toward a goal, feeling close to achieving it.
These days lost their meaning, but I don't care
The days have lost their significance or purpose, but the speaker doesn't mind.
Still we're all breathing, so cry if you dare
Despite difficulties, everyone is still alive; the speaker challenges others to cry if they want.
With the world before me to break my fall
The speaker sees the world as a potential source of impact but also safety in a time of crisis.
And this wind behind me warm
The support or momentum from external forces is aiding the speaker.
Streetlights embrace me, see I close my eyes
The surroundings offer comfort as the speaker shuts out external stimuli.
The building wraps round me
The building's structure provides a sense of security or support.
Everyone's sleeping, but I don't care
The speaker is indifferent to others' sleep and their own focus remains unwavering.
'cause I can see reason flowing through the air
Perceiving rationality or logic in the environment around, strengthening their resolve.
And here comes some feeling, that no walls can hold
Emotions or sensations are emerging that cannot be confined or limited.
Clear and relieving us from the cold
A feeling of clarity and comfort emerges, alleviating the harshness of the situation.
With the world before me to break my fall
Similar to line 6, reiterating the world's potential impact and protection.
And this wind behind me warm
Continued support or assistance from external factors, providing warmth.
Streetlights embrace me, see I close my eyes
Choosing to shut out distractions for comfort.
They building wraps around me
Reaffirming the building's enveloping presence, indicating safety or reassurance.
With the world before me to break my fall
A repeated emphasis on the world's potential impact and protective nature.
And this wind behind me warm
Continued assistance or support from external forces, providing warmth.
Streetlights embrace me, see I close my eyes
Reiteration of seeking comfort by shutting out external influences.
The building wraps around me
A reaffirmation of the building's comforting and enclosing presence.
