After having over a year of not being able to complete any of my horrible ballads, this little gem just popped out from my heart. On one side, its a (hopefully, or hopelessly) romancing song (to God and…nevermind, let’s not over-analyze, right?), on another I’m being as damn honest with myself that I am insufficient as a mortal man, and on another I’m asking you and myself what is in our hearts. Oh, and I somehow was able to allude to faith, if it applies to you. Foxes? yes, I’ve always wanted to use that phrase ever since mewithoutYou’s 2nd album, and ever since one of my first Sunday school classes I’ve always thought of those foxes to be cute (instead of malicious). Cute like the ones in Mini Ninja or Foxkeh.
Take a listen (don’t give up on me until its done, yo):
Lyrics:
Catch for us the foxes,
with the torches on their tails.
Tonight they run through our fields,
destroying all their yield.To chase and to be chased;
to catch and to be caught.
I’ll see you face-to-face,
and see everything I’m not.Go into the vineyards,
try to find the mustard seed.
Has it died on the trail now?
Or did it grow into a tree?I’m a part of you,
you’re a part of me.
Take a look inside (of your heart),
tell me who you see.
For anyone that is interested…the scripture I unknowingly (read: the premise crept in without the exact passage) integrated can be found at Songs of Solomon 2:15; Judges 15:4-5; Matt 13:1-9, 31-32.
