Bring Me a Carpenter
Harmony's Refuge: Seeking Redemption Amidst Broken Hearts
Lyrics
Bring me a carpenter, wise and strong
Request for a skilled and strong individual, symbolically representing someone who can help mend the speaker's life.
To pick up my pieces and mend what is wrong
Asking for assistance in repairing what has gone wrong in the speaker's life.
Bring me a bird to escort me 'or
Desire for companionship, possibly seeking guidance and support.
'Or the rocks and the sea and the shore
Describing the environment (rocks, sea, shore) that the speaker wants to be escorted from, possibly suggesting a need to move away from turmoil or difficulty.
Hearts are on fire
Expressing intense emotions, possibly indicating passion or turmoil in the speaker's heart.
Oh hearts are breaking down
Acknowledging heartbreak or emotional distress.
Hope it is shaken
Suggesting a wavering sense of hope or uncertainty.
But oh, it's all around
Despite challenges, hope is still present in the speaker's surroundings.
Bring me a forest with a canopy wide
Desiring a vast forest for seclusion or escape.
Fall down in deep, so my heart, I can hide
Wishing to find solace and concealment within the depths of this forest.
Bring me a blindfold, for they mustn't see
Seeking to hide certain aspects of oneself from others by metaphorically wearing a blindfold.
All the beauty and the darkness that comes out of me
Concealing both beauty and darkness within, suggesting a desire to hide internal complexities from the world.
Make me an island with a white, rocky shore
Imagining an isolated, secure place with symbolic rocky shores, signifying protection from external conflicts or turmoil.
Wild and alone, but safe from the war
Desiring safety and seclusion away from the chaos of the world.
Safe from the war
Reiterating the desire for safety and peace from conflict.
Hearts are on fire
Re-emphasizing the intensity of emotions, highlighting the passionate state of the heart.
Oh hearts are breaking down
Restating the distress or breakdown experienced by the heart.
Hope it is shaken
Reiterating the wavering hope or shaken belief in positive outcomes.
But oh, it's all around
Despite challenges, hope remains present in the surroundings.
Bring me a clearness and a rest for these bones
Desiring clarity and peace for the speaker's mind and soul.
And my soul
Expressing fear or concern about being alone.
I'm afraid I'm alone
Acknowledging the fear of loneliness or isolation.
