Strawberry Marigold
Joydrop Lyrics

Cover me in fire
I want to be engulfed in something so passionate and intense that it consumes me entirely.

Drop me down to the deepest darkest ocean
I want to be isolated from the world and protected from the pain that comes with it.

So I never have to feel that way again
I don't want to experience the emotional turmoil that has caused me pain in the past.

Colour on the carpet seven eyes on the ceiling
I am surrounded by visual stimuli but feel trapped and helpless.

There's a feeling that comes over you When you know that Something has changed forever
There is a distinct sense of transformation that occurs when a significant change takes place in your life.

Don't lose your wings 'til you learn How to sing yourself to sleep
Don't give up on yourself until you have learned how to cope with your struggles and find peace within yourself.

I know it seems funny but Maybe we just said goodbye
Despite the pain and uncertainty of a breakup, there is a possibility that it was necessary and a step towards healing.

I feel strange enough to cry Strawberry marigold smile
There is a mix of conflicting emotions, but ultimately a sense of happiness and hopefulness despite the pain.

Please don't bring me down With that look on your face
I can't handle any more negativity or criticism, especially from someone I care about.

Because I almost didn't make it and one day You might know how that feels
I have been through so much that it's hard to keep going, and I hope you never have to experience that level of pain and desperation.

I heard the mermaids singing once When I was very small
There was a time in my life when everything felt magical and full of wonder, before the harsh realities of the world set in.

But now the sound of the traffic and human voices Wake us 'til we drown
The constant noise and chaos of life can be suffocating and overwhelming.

Seven angels seven plagues And the trumpet and the saved
Biblical references to the end times and the struggle between good and evil.

I tell you man if it was me on that beast I would not let you fuck with me like that
I would never let someone else have control over me in a situation like that.

It's dangerous to see beyond The visions that we breathe
It can be risky to look too deeply into things, as it can be hard to discern reality from fantasy.

But I can hold it in my hand and know That there is something to this that will never die
There is something tangible and enduring about certain experiences, even if they are painful or difficult.

Strawberry marigold smile
A symbol of mixed emotions and a sense of hopefulness despite the pain.
