Lyrics
I'm a wheel you're turning till the edge appears
I symbolize a wheel that you are turning until the edge becomes apparent
I'm a wheel you're turning to the edge
Similar to line 1, emphasizing the repetitive nature of the relationship
I'm a fire you're making
I symbolize fire, and you are the one igniting it
We'll be celebrating
We will celebrate together
When the axle summons the spoke
Celebration occurs when the central part (axle) attracts the support (spoke)
I'm a dream recurring
I represent a recurring dream
I'm a gut that's churning
I am a gut feeling that is unsettling
At the thought of saying the oath
The anxiety of expressing a commitment or promise
I'm a wheel you're turning
Reiteration of being a wheel turned by someone else
I'm a mother yearning
As a mother, there is a yearning for the universe ('cosm) within the yolk
For the 'cosm inside the yolk
Expressing a desire to be within the essence of existence
Oh, in the yolk, in the yolk
Repetition of being in the yolk, emphasizing the thematic significance
In the yolk, in the yolk
-I'll see you in the morning like every other morning
Seeing the other person both in the morning and evening, with and without doubts
I'll see you in the evening with my doubts
-I'll see you in the morning like every other morning
-I'll see you in the evening without
-Knowing where I stand
Uncertainty about the position or status in the relationship
Where I stand
-Where I stand
-Where I stand
-I'll see you in the morning
Reiteration of seeing the person in the morning
See you in the morning
-See you in the morning
-See you in the morning
-The halls I had known came down like a cleaver
Symbolic collapse of familiar surroundings and connecting to something known
I tied up my yoke to something familiar
-Oh, I'll get back to you when the day is done
Commitment to return at different stages of life, suggesting a cyclical pattern
Oh, I'll get back to you when my life is over
-I'll get back to you when my time is up
-Oh, I'll get back to you when my life is over
-I'm an altar burning
Symbolism of being an altar, emitting an aroma, and moving towards an end
The aroma swerving
-Past the columns and doorways of old
-I'm a light that's flying
-Towards the end of time
-And yeah, show me what's inside the yolk
-In the yolk, in the yolk
Repetition of being inside the yolk, possibly representing a deeper connection or understanding
In the yolk, in the yolk
