Everything You Love
eskimeaux Lyrics

Your little nails, bitten back and snarling
Your nervous habit of biting your nails reveals your inner turmoil and restlessness.

Speak volumes upon volumes, my darling
Your behavior and body language are conveying a lot of information about how you're feeling.

Out of reach of the light of day
You're keeping your struggles hidden and private, away from public view.

In a veil of dirty lace
Your outward appearance may be rough around the edges, but it's masking a deeper complexity.

With a heart made of wood and a bruise on your face
Your emotional walls are up and you've been hurt before, possibly physically.

You were given a choice between fire and ice
Life has presented you with difficult, polarizing decisions that have high stakes and consequences.

I can see you now, clear as a bell
Despite your attempts to hide your struggles, I can still see the pain and complexity you carry with you.

With your arms full of thorns and your heart like a well
You are holding onto elements of pain and hurt, letting them shape you deeply and influence the choices you make.

Holding your arms clenched to your chest
You are protecting your heart and your vulnerabilities, even when others try to get close to you.

A song in your throat and a tongue at rest
You have a lot to say and express, but you're not ready to share it yet.

Your eyes are searching boldly
You are actively seeking out new experiences and people to connect with.

For a stronger one to hold you
You're looking for someone who can provide emotional support and stability.

A softer bed to warm you
You want a comforting, safe environment in which to rest and recharge.

For every man to swarm you
You may have an intense desire for attention and affection from others, possibly stemming from past experiences of neglect or abandonment.

But if you could just wait patiently
If you can exercise some restraint and patience, the right person will come along.

I can see him standing in front of me
I have a sense that the person you're looking for is on their way, but you need to await their arrival.

So fold your arms to your chest
Keep protecting yourself and your vulnerabilities until the right person comes along.

A song in your throat and a tongue at rest
You know you have a lot to say, but you're still not ready to speak up yet.

But everything you love will leave at best
You have a deep-seated fear of losing the good things in life, even when you finally get them.

For until you're alone you will know no rest
You need to learn how to be content with yourself and your own company before you can truly find peace and rest in life.

I still see you standing so solemn and cold
Even when you're surrounded by others, you still feel isolated and distant.

In a white dress and blindfold, knee-deep in the snow
You feel vulnerable and exposed, even when you try to conceal your emotions.

With the birch trees just like swords
Nature feels ominous and threatening to you somehow.

Touching the sky in a silent horde
The world feels like it's conspiring against you, and you can't escape the hurt and pain.

Like an army of your past strifes
You feel like you're still battling the same issues and struggles that have plagued you in the past.

Frozen for a lifetime
You feel stuck and trapped in your pain and struggles, unable to move forward.

Everything you love will leave at best
Your fear of abandonment and loss is preventing you from fully engaging with the world and the people around you.

For until you're alone you'll know no rest
You need to find a way to be at peace with yourself and your emotions before you can truly feel anchored and secure in life.
