Darling Abandon
Time of Orchids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's only a care for the soon
To defend your hurrying heart
To be part of whole

They would have you believe
That wonders are never yours to be done

In the bare bones
What makes you gold from slave
Darling abandon, your history
Knows no bounds and it forces you
Madly, through passages ashen
With drudgery into scheme
Beckoning





In time, your weapon grows for you

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Darling Abandon" are evocative of a sense of urgency and a desire to protect oneself from harm. The singer urges the listener to defend their heart, to care for themselves, and to strive for a sense of wholeness. The next lines suggest that there are external forces at play that seek to hold us back from achieving greatness. The third stanza suggests that we must abandon our pasts and histories in order to move forward, to break free from the monotony of our lives, and to seek out new experiences.


The overarching message of the song is one of hope, of trying to break free from the bonds of routine and mediocrity, and to embrace our full potential. The song encourages us to take risks and to push ourselves beyond our perceived limits. The lyrics are poetic and suggestive, leaving much room for interpretation.
