Interiorities

Lyrics

Interiorities (Dargan)

A E
Crash! Bang! Wallop! Falling to the ground
F#m D
Shake the dust off everything but never make sound
A E
Peer upon the pieces of my finely-fractured mind…
F#m D
Crawl to where the pieces fell and see what I can find

E
Never letting go the breath
F#m D
Never letting go
E D A D A
Never letting go the breath
E
Never letting go the breath
F#m D
Never letting go
E D A D A
Never letting go the breath

The electrons of my body, coursing cables of my soul
Illuminating everything, the parts inside the whole
Ever brimming power, expanding from within
Ever growing outward, cutting through the din

(CHORUS)

Bm F#m
Inside is dark and dry
Bm D A
Inside is brief and gone
Bm F#m D
Inside is everything at once
E
Inside is keeping on

Squinting in the darkness, praying for more light
Sleep the endless day away, stay up all the night
Bulging bulb, fragrant flower, striving for the sun
Budding bloom, crawling so it one day, too, may run

(CHORUS)
(CHORUS)

This one has me thinking. When I listened, I interpreted it to mean the difficulty of explaining thoughts and feelings you have inside, because they are complicated and multifaceted. And then, the possibility that you’re either holding your breath for the entire time you are trying to sort out what you’re feeling, or reminding yourself to always breathe. Whatever the interpretation, I really like the lyrics and the song structure!
