I love this song, BTW. I really like when Josh does stuff that sounds like new music. That's my favorite part of what he does.
Far across this red horizon
|
Red horizon symbolizes anger
|
I am walking down the line
I am picking up the pieces
That this storm has left behind
|
There’s been a bad fight
|
After all the clouds have fallen
I would breach the battle ground
Turn your darkness into the light
Turn your silence into sound
|
She isn’t speaking to him. He wants to try to make up and get her to
talk to him again.
|
(Chorus 1)
But I can’t cage you in my arms
When my heart is jumping forward
To avoid your false alarms.
|
This has happened before. He feels like his efforts to hold onto her
are hurting him, because it happens so often.
|
And you can’t tell me not to stay
When I opened up the window
And I watched you fly away
|
He wonders why he should have to keep running
after her. She’s the one always
picking the fight. He feels a bit
defensive about not continuing to try to make up.
|
Have you raised the final anchor?
Have you cut the mast-sail free?
Sending offer to redemption
Like a funeral at sea
|
He wonders whether this storm out is really the
last one, or whether she’s planning to come back and try again. Going on can be a kind of redemption, much as in a religious context people believe that the afterlife can be a kind of redemption.
|
I will always hear you calling
You’re the sway of falling leaves
Like a bird you’ll spiral onward
And you’ll know just where I’ll be
|
He’s still thinking about her and hoping she’ll
come back, but he’s not going to chase her. The spiral might indicate that she's taking emotional chaos with her as she goes on.
|
And I am closing up my window
‘till I see a blue horizon
And the quiet call of love will fly my way
|
He’s not going to keep looking after her. The blue horizon is one that is peaceful
and not full of rage. He’s hoping
something more peaceful will come by, rather than all this drama
|
Oh, in case you don't know, "False Alarms" is a song from the album "All That Echoes," by Josh Groban. I love this whole album.
