Violet Walk
Jenny Dalton Lyrics

I remember watching you
I have a distinct memory of observing you

So sure that I could take you in.
I felt confident in my ability to understand you

Traveling into my world.
You entered into my life and experiences

A violet flame cures my freezer burn.
Something has helped to alleviate the pain or discomfort I have been feeling

In my hand, I feel the softness of this violet petal
I have a violet petal in my hand that feels tender and delicate

So sure that you could understand
I believed that you had the capacity to comprehend and empathize with me

this perfect violet petal in my hand.
I am holding a flawless and exquisite item

How many lifetimes have we walked?
How long have we been in each other's lives or known each other?

How deep is this abyss beneath us?
What hidden or profound circumstances lie underneath our relationship?

On this long and violet walk
During our extended and colorful experience together

The watchmaker turns his head towards us.
An outside force or fate is paying attention to our connection

But I am growing impatient
I am losing my tolerance or willingness to wait for progress or understanding

So sure that you would let me in.
I thought that you would eventually be open and transparent with me

Traveling into your world.
I am attempting to understand and relate to your life and circumstances

Is there no cure for your freezer burn?
Can nothing relieve the discomfort or pain you are feeling?

Turn it on again
Restart the process or situation

And let it try to break my concentration.
Allow the issue to challenge or distract me

If I choose to live
If I opt to continue to strive and persevere

Could we deal with this dichotomy?
Can we navigate and reconcile our conflicting perspectives and attributes?

And I know that nothing's perfect like
I am aware that there is no flawless or entirely ideal circumstance, thing or person

this violet petal in my hand.
While I am holding this violet petal that I value and appreciate

Peace leaches out from me.
I am spreading and sharing a sense of calmness and joy

I start to shiver it's cold.
I begin to experience physical discomfort or anxiety

Pride. Pour it over me.
I am seeking validation or attention for my accomplishments or abilities

You've got a smart head on your shoulders
You possess intelligence and insight

Why do you have to be so dense?
Why are you refusing to comprehend or acknowledge our differences or issues?

I am slipping, wearing thin
I am losing my grip or patience and becoming exhausted

and being driven away
I feel like I am being pushed or distanced from you

You're too proud to give into me.
You are unwilling to compromise or admit fault for the sake of our relationship

But I don't want to give up on you.
I am still invested in our connection and don't want to let it go

But I will.
But I may have to let go for my own wellbeing and happiness
