Lightning
Dancing with Thunder: A Journey Beyond the Storm
Lyrics
Lightning flash
Reference to a sudden and striking occurrence, possibly a revelation or realization.
You gave yourself away
Someone exposed themselves, revealing their true nature or intentions.
You blew your cover and by the time
The person's cover was blown, and consequences ensued.
That thunder crashed
The moment of realization, marked by a loud sound like thunder.
I'd already run so far away
The narrator had already distanced themselves in response to the revelation.
I'd run so far away
Repetition of the distance traveled as a symbolic escape from the revealed truth.
And that's where we stand
Describes the current situation, caught between stability and the overwhelming unknown.
The thunderclouds and I are stuck between the hands
The narrator and the challenges they face are in a delicate balance.
Of solid ground and the crushing weight of space
The struggle between a grounded reality and the vastness of uncertainty.
And I guess we'll make amends before it's put to rest
Anticipation of reconciling or resolving the issues before they become permanent.
But when I get the chance
Expresses a desire for an opportunity to address the situation.
I'll take you by the hands
When the chance arises, the narrator plans to take the lead in resolving things.
We'll slip right through it's open arms
Imagery of slipping through challenges and facing them openly.
And run until we can't
Commitment to running away together until they can no longer.
We'll run so far away
Repetition of the determination to escape, possibly from problems or negativity.
He'll follow us to hell
The challenges (represented by "he") will persist, even in undesirable places.
And that's just the fact we know too well
Acceptance of a known and unpleasant reality about the challenges they face.
The thunderclouds and I will be happy again
Hopeful anticipation of happiness after overcoming difficulties.
Oh, let me hear your voice again
Request to hear the other person's voice again, emphasizing connection.
Crying like you did when I was ten
Recollection of a past emotional moment, possibly indicating a desire for vulnerability.
Wish I could see what happens in the end
Wishing to witness the resolution or outcome of the situation.
Wish I could see it through your head
Desire to understand the other person's perspective or thoughts.
I'm a speck of dust on your table side
Feeling insignificant in the larger context of the other person's life.
With the ceiling overhead
Description of the physical setting, possibly indicating a sense of confinement.
And that's where we stand
Reiteration of the current challenging situation.
The thunderclouds and I are stuck between the hands
Continuation of the struggle between stability and the unknown.
Of solid ground and the crushing weight of space
Repetition of the conflict between grounded reality and the vastness of uncertainty.
And I guess we'll make amends before it's put to rest
Anticipation of resolving issues before they become permanent.
But when I get the chance
Expresses a commitment to addressing the situation when the opportunity arises.
I'll take you by the hands
Reaffirmation of taking the lead in resolving the challenges.
We'll slip right through it's open arms
Imagery of facing challenges openly and escaping them.
And run until we can't
Reiteration of the commitment to run away together until challenges become insurmountable.
We'll run so far away
Continued determination to escape from problems or negativity.
And he'll follow us to hell
Expectation that challenges will persist, even in undesirable circumstances.
And that's just the fact we know too well
Acknowledgment of an unpleasant reality about the challenges they face.
The thunderclouds and I will be happy again
Hopeful anticipation of happiness after overcoming difficulties, repeated from line 20.
