Lions!

Lights

Give me a disaster
Give me emergency
Stand me at the head of the crusade without a remedy
Show me to the shipwreck
Show me how your bones shake
And when I'm at the edge of sorrow's blade
Show me how a heart breaks

Be steady on your feet
No matter the trouble you meet

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

Find me at the bottom
Looking at the vultures
Standing in the heart of the disease
Following the hard curves
I'm looking for the thunder
I'm looking for the blackness
I'm learning how to get up off my knees
And all it takes is practice

Be ready on your feet
No matter the trouble you meet

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

I'm not the hunter
I'm not the marked
Just looking for wisdom in the dark

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

Lions make you brave
Giants give you faith
Death is a charade
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid
You don't have to feel safe to feel unafraid

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”
