Tightrope
VERIDIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes not enough
The tip of the tongue is a knife
Are the scars forgiven?
Only love will tell
All I can do from here is wish you well
But only love will tell
I'm on a tightrope
Slow and steady
I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready
There's no turning time
The clock is talking back
Tick-tocking back
Reaching for that safe place
Letting go of every day's end
I'm on a tightrope
Slow and steady
I think I'm ready
If we cross each other's paths
I want to hold you close
I won't forget the memories
I hope you'll let me
Only love will tell
All I can do from here is wish you well
But only love will tell
I'm on a tightrope
Slow and steady
I think I'm ready, I think I'm ready
There's no turning time
The clock is talking back, talking back
Tick-tocking back
Reaching for that safe place
Letting go of every day's end
I'm on a tightrope
Slow and steady
I think I'm ready
I don't want to waste another minute
I don't want to face tomorrow without you in it
We're all here for a reason
This is life, but just for a season
Let's make the most of this moment
We're all here for a reason
The lyrics of VERIDIA's song Tightrope reflect the tension of trying to navigate life's challenging situations. The song speaks to the fear of saying too much or not enough and the painful consequences of careless words that can cause deep scars. Only love can help us to reveal our deepest vulnerabilities and to heal from our past traumas. The singer wishes her loved one well and hopes that they can find forgiveness and reconciliation.
The metaphor of a tightrope suggests that life is a balancing act, and that we need to be slow and steady as we move forward towards our goals. The clock ticking in the background reminds us that time is running out and that we need to make the most of every moment. The singer desires to hold her loved one close and to cherish every memory they have shared together. The song encourages us to make the most of the time we have here on earth and to remember that life is fleeting.

JJ The Flerkin
Love it. This one is good :) Thank you Veridia! Love you all so very much!!!! The acoustic sound is new for you guys, perhaps I wouldn't have made such a drastic switch over from rock to this, but it's not bad at all. I would just add a touch of edge to it, but the guys backing up D is VERY nice. Keep it comin guys :-) #Neverstop

This song has been on repeat for the past like, week. Seriously I LOVE this song!! Love your voice and the music in this song! I think my favorite part is when the guys start in the background with the 'ohs' after the second "we're all here for a reason" at the bridge. Too much to love in this song!! Please come near South Georgia soon!!!!
