Eleven: Journey of Light and Homecoming
Lyrics
What was it like to see
Reflecting on the experience of witnessing something.
The face of your own stability
Contemplating the stability of one's own life.
Suddenly look away
Observing a sudden shift in attention or focus.
Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?
Feeling abandoned and without hope due to the shift.
Eleven and she was gone.
Referencing a significant event or loss at age eleven.
Eleven is when we waved good-bye.
Recalling the moment of saying goodbye at eleven.
Eleven is standing still,
Describing a state of stillness at the age of eleven.
Waiting for me to free him
Anticipating liberation or release by returning home.
By coming home.
Waiting for the speaker to bring freedom by coming home.
Moving me with a sound.
Being emotionally moved by a sound.
Opening me within a gesture.
Feeling opened up emotionally through a gesture.
Drawing me down and in,
Being drawn down into a memory or past experience.
Showing me where it all began,
Guided to the origin or starting point of it all.
Eleven.
Emphasizing the significance of the age eleven.
It took so long to realize that
Realizing the importance of someone who lights the way.
You hold the light that's been leading me back home.
Acknowledging the guiding light that leads back home.
Under a dead Ohio sky,
Describing a setting under a lifeless Ohio sky.
Eleven has been and will be waiting,
Stating that eleven is patiently waiting and will continue to wait.
Defending his light,
Defending the metaphorical light or hope associated with eleven.
And wondering
Expressing curiosity about the speaker's whereabouts.
Where the hell have I been?
Reflecting on a period of being inactive, disoriented, and emotionless.
Sleeping, lost, and numb.
Expressing relief and joy at finding the guiding presence.
So glad that I have found you.
Acknowledging awareness and the journey back home.
I am wide awake and heading home.
Being fully awake and on the path to returning home.
Hold your light,
Encouraging the preservation of the metaphorical light.
Eleven.
Reiterating the importance of eleven as a guide.
Lead me through each gentle step by step
Requesting guidance through each step of the journey.
By inch by loaded memory.
Highlighting the progression through memories and experiences.
I'll move to heal
Expressing the intention to heal as soon as possible.
As soon as pain allows so we can
Anticipating a reunion and mutual progress after overcoming pain.
Reunite and both move on together.
Encouraging unity and moving forward together.
Hold your light,
Reiterating the importance of preserving the metaphorical light.
Eleven. Lead me through each gentle step by step
Seeking continued guidance through each step of the journey.
By inch by loaded memory
Emphasizing the gradual progress through memories.
'Til one and one are one, eleven,
Expressing a desire for unity until becoming one, specifically at eleven.
So glow, child, glow.
Encouraging a radiant and positive presence.
I'm heading back home.
Confirming the journey back home.
