What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
My body was sleeping
2
While my poor mind was dreaming
3
When they woke me up I didn't know that i'd bee screaming
4
And my old heart was pounding, for the devil had found me
5
Trapped me in a corner of my mind
6
And my legs were both shaking
7
From the pain they'd been taking
8
Picked my body up, and aimed for home
9
But these boots have seen better
10
Can't make sense of this weather
11
Rolling over me, up in the sky
12
But I was warm like a fire
13
For I was full of desire to hold on, to not let go
14
Thought of friends, thought of family
15
And all who surround me
16
Those enemies I danced with, so long ago
17
Let them know
18
If you find water, please call my name
19
Put me out like a fire, cover me in rain
20
Thought of stars and the planets
21
Wondered how they could have planned this
22
And what were they thinking
23
How could they have known?
24
I felt small but full of pride
25
I felt tall for my size
26
My eyes were black and fixed on the night
27
And your name just hung
28
From a song I had sung
29
There in the air
30
Suspended by beauty
31
There are words that get spoken
32
Oh and lives they leave broken
33
Some stone breaks in half
34
And some stone shatters
35
But my speech had been fleeting
36
Like the company i'd been keeping
37
I never asked for their names and they never asked for mine
38
Just a polluted highway
39
Or a clouded skyway
40
I'm a mess I confess, now send me the maid
41
Thought of stages with their singers
42
Oh and painters with their fingers
43
I was strong like a horse in carrying my song
44
To drop it off in some stable
45
When I was young I was able
46
To never turn around, to never look behind
47
To grow old, to grow distant
48
Like a mare in the distance
49
Bothering no one, so let her live
50
Until she dies.
51
Picture lilies, picture willows
52
And a wide open window
53
To a room with a view, and both of us laughing
54
Just children so young
55
Oh at least in the scheme
56
With our hair still there
57
And you keep my teeth clean
58
I sing who is my creator
59
Not my mother
60
Nor my father
61
But before the universe burst wide on open
