Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I've been here before..
Trembling at the sound of your voice
And it's oh so familiar..
Wait!
I can't see straight
And I barely hear your words..
"You're in there somewhere!"
My lips have kissed upon there own demise.
My only wish is to be beautiful like you.
Oh, Judas, I have wept for you..
I have seen the world through bright blue eyes
Were yours like mine?
I've been searching for..
(What have I been searching for!?)
Something I can taste
Since the day I was born,
I've held onto my mistakes..
What have I been searching for!!?
I can't keep my eyes from closing
Or have they been closed all along?
I can't seem to pry them open
When I can see... are you standing there?
"Today We Are Born!"
Trembling at the sound of your voice
And it's oh so familiar..
Wait!
I can't see straight
And I barely hear your words..
"You're in there somewhere!"
My lips have kissed upon there own demise.
My only wish is to be beautiful like you.
Oh, Judas, I have wept for you..
I have seen the world through bright blue eyes
Were yours like mine?
I've been searching for..
(What have I been searching for!?)
Something I can taste
Since the day I was born,
I've held onto my mistakes..
What have I been searching for!!?
I can't keep my eyes from closing
Or have they been closed all along?
I can't seem to pry them open
When I can see... are you standing there?
"Today We Are Born!"
