Now Three
Embracing Love's Delicate Symphony
Lyrics
City fast asleep
Describes a city that is deeply asleep or inactive.
Clouds up on the hill
Refers to clouds positioned on a hill.
So quiet, so still
Portrays an atmosphere of extreme quietness and stillness.
Dreams of rain in sheets
Imagines dreams about rain falling heavily.
Dreams of ice and wings
Imagines dreams involving elements of ice and wings, possibly symbolizing fragility and freedom.
So delicate, these things
Highlights the delicacy of these dreamt experiences.
Love, love, love is a word so small
Reflects on the word 'love' being small, yet powerful in meaning.
Let it fill up, up, up 'til I can't see at all
Expresses a desire for love to overwhelm and consume entirely.
I want to be blind, only my hands to guide me
Wishing to be figuratively blind, reliant only on touch for guidance.
Bring all of you inside me
Desire to embrace and absorb the entirety of a loved one.
City fast asleep
Reiteration of the city's deep slumber.
Lights hum in the gray
Describes the faint buzzing of lights in the subdued environment.
Like her breathing will someday
Compares the city's breathing to the subtle illumination of lights, possibly hinting at the city's life and its eventual demise.
Strangest beauty cries
Refers to the peculiar and captivating nature of beauty that evokes emotional response.
One and one, by and by
Expresses an idea of gradual progression or continuity.
Now three of us here lie
Introduces the presence of three individuals in a certain situation.
Love, love, love for one so small
Reiterates the power of love, especially for someone seemingly insignificant or small.
Come fill me up, up, up 'til I can't see at all
Similar to line 10, a desire for overwhelming love to the point of losing sight metaphorically.
I want to be blind, only my hands to guide me
Similar to line 11, expressing reliance on touch for guidance and connection.
Gather all the world inside me
Desire to encompass the entire world within oneself.
