Park - Tickling The Dragon's Tail
From your short flight has earned you a heavy heart
Here comes the hand I've been shaking
Mixed with the blood that I'm tasting
The lips they move to form the words of new truth..
Cut from the inside and folded over
You can't make your tone sound any colder
Where is the you I thought I knew?
You've been clawing at the answers far too long
Close enough to capture but your timings off
We've been gathering the questions you got wrong
How's it feel to need only to find out everything's lost?
There goes the feeling of safety
I can't feel a thing when you hit me
The dust it blooms to rise and form a new bruise
Cut from the inside and folded over
You can't make your tone sound any colder
Here is the truth I always knew
You've been clawing at the answers far too long
Close enough to capture but your timings off
We've been gathering the questions you got wrong
How's it feel to need only to find out everything's lost
(I am sorry that it came to this
I wish things could have turned out differently
I understand the loss. How does that feel?
To know that you are part of something that will change the way humans live?
Every minstrel has a song to sing and you just sung your last
Goodbye, Jacob)
You look like someone died a bit inside
Here's my vote of confidence:
Think of happier times
If there's a way out of this place
Someone tell me
Someone lead me away from here
There is a way out of this place
But I can't help you
So you might as well stay..
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe haunting vocals and intense instrumentals create a sense of urgency and despair, drawing the listener into the emotional journey of the song. The imagery of being cut from the inside and folded over conveys a sense of vulnerability and pain, while the repeated refrain of "You've been clawing at the answers far too long" highlights the struggle to find meaning and understanding in difficult circumstances.
As the song builds to a climax, the lyrics become more introspective and contemplative, with a sense of resignation and acceptance of the harsh realities of life. The final lines, where the protagonist acknowledges their inability to change the situation and offers a message of hope and resilience, provide a poignant conclusion to the emotional journey of the song.
Overall, "Park - Tickling The Dragon's Tail" is a raw and powerful track that explores the complexities of human emotions and the struggle to find meaning in the face of adversity.
