Raven
Ramona Keller Lyrics

Goliath was a giant.
The antagonist of the story was physically imposing and intimidating.

Taught and mean
Goliath's nature was harsh and unforgiving.

David was a sweetheart
The singer of the story was kind-hearted and gentle.

Squeaky Clean
David was morally pure and upright.

But it still takes two
Both characters are essential to the story's plot.

To tell that story
The perspectives of both characters are necessary to understand the full story.

So I'll play my part
The singer will take on her role in the story.

And in all my glory
She will do so in a grand, impressive way.

I'll fly. like a raven
The singer will take flight, like a dark, mysterious bird.

In a sky of doves
The singer will stand out from the rest of the characters, like a raven amongst doves.

I'll make you love, to hate me
The singer will provoke a strong emotional response from those around her, causing them to both love and hate her.

But that's still love
Even though the emotions are mixed, there is still a connection between the characters.

Love is what I want
The singer desires love and connection in her life.

Love is what I need
Love is essential to the singer's happiness and fulfillment.

You see beneath this suit of armor
The singer has a tough exterior, but there is vulnerability and emotion underneath.

I still bleed
The singer is still human, and still experiences pain and heartbreak.

He used to hold me like a flower
The singer reminisces about a past relationship where she was cherished and adored.

Kiss me, oh, so slow
The moments between them were sweet and intimate.

And we talk about forever
They dreamed of a long-lasting, eternal love.

But that was long ago
Those moments are in the past and cannot be revisited.

And now forever's just a place
The idea of forever is now detached from reality and no longer holds the same weight.

In someone else's story
The idea of forever belongs to someone else's narrative, not her own.

And though my heart still breaks
The singer still feels sadness and disappointment about the past.

I'm gonna find my glory
The singer will find her own way to happiness and fulfillment.

So I'll fly just like a raven
The singer will once again take flight, like a dark and mysterious bird.

I'll make you love to hate me
She will again provoke strong emotions from those around her, testing their feelings towards her.

But that's all still love
Even if the emotions are mixed, there is still a connection and a sense of love.

Oh, I, I, Still bleed.
The singer is still human, still vulnerable, and still capable of feeling pain.
