Crow
Whispers of Redemption: Unveiling the Symbolism in Two Cent Revival's 'Crow'
Lyrics
You showed me the crow right between my eyes
You revealed a harsh truth or reality to me symbolized by the crow situated between my eyes.
I didn't realize because he was disguised
I failed to recognize it initially because it was camouflaged or hidden.
You cut me through my flesh, straight in through the bone
You emotionally wounded me deeply, penetrating through my physical and metaphorical defenses.
Split me wide open with your green Wiccan eyes
You opened me up completely with your intense, bewitching green eyes.
Then you kissed me again, said goodbye
After hurting me, you kissed me and bade farewell.
Then you kissed me again, back down to the humid winds of the South
Repeating the kiss, returning to the warm, sultry winds of the South.
There's no use grabbing, to what you can't hold
It's futile to cling to what cannot be retained.
You flow on past, like water over stone
You pass by like water over a stone, unstoppable.
This heaviness, is all I've known
This weightiness or burden is all I've ever experienced.
I'll sit here pining, on this riverbed
I'll remain here yearning, metaphorically by a riverbed.
Well he is my friend, though he smells of death
The crow is metaphorically my friend despite its association with death.
Because I know he can't help, the father of his breath
The crow can't control the nature of its existence, much like the breath of its creator.
And he whispers and picks, at the valleys of my heart
It disturbs and probes the deepest emotions within me.
And just like you, he gave me quite a start
Similar to you, the crow startled me.
Then you kissed me again, said goodbye
After causing distress, you kissed me and departed.
Then you kissed me again, back down to the humid winds of the South
Repeating the departure, returning to the warm, sultry winds of the South.
There's no use grabbing, to what you can't hold
Clutching onto the unattainable is pointless.
You flow on past, like water over stone
You continue forward like water over a stone, unimpeded.
This heaviness, is all I've known
This weightiness or burden is my constant companion.
I'll sit here pining, on this riverbed
I'll persist in yearning, metaphorically by a riverbed.
When will I rise, from this fractured mind
When will I recover from this shattered state of mind?
I'm sinking in the mud, it's long been paralyzed
I'm deeply immersed and stuck in a mental quagmire, long immobilized.
I would set him free, but I fear that he'd die
I want to release the crow, but I fear it may perish dramatically.
Burst out into flames, with a cackle and cry
It might burst into flames with laughter and tears.
Because I've been his home, blood, sinew and bones
Because I've been a shelter for the crow, in my blood, sinew, and bones.
Trapped here in my chest, huddled all alone
Confined within my chest, isolated and lonely.
Then you kissed me again, said goodbye
After causing distress, you kissed me and departed.
Then you kissed me again, back down to the humid winds of the South
Repeating the departure, returning to the warm, sultry winds of the South.
There's no use grabbing, to what you can't hold
Clutching onto the unattainable is pointless.
You flow on past, like water over stone
You continue forward like water over a stone, unimpeded.
This heaviness, is all I've known
This weightiness or burden is my constant companion.
I'll sit here pining, on this riverbed
I'll persist in yearning, metaphorically by a riverbed.
There's no use grabbing, to what you can't hold
Clutching onto the unattainable is pointless.
You flow on past, like water over stone
You continue forward like water over a stone, unimpeded.
This heaviness, is all I've known
This weightiness or burden is my constant companion.
I'll sit here pining, on this riverbed
I'll persist in yearning, metaphorically by a riverbed.
I'll sit here pining, on this riverbed
-I'll sit here pining
I'll persist in yearning.
