“It was dark and I was over / Until you kissed my lips and you saved me”
The love this composition. I love these lyrics.
I thought about their meaning, and how sometimes we think our lives are dark, lonely, worthless, worn out, and over. It seems some times our heads are held so low, that we forget there is someone else who is quietly cheering for us – quietly reaching out their hand to help us up.
And Adele’s words speak about a kiss having saved her. While it refers to a loved one who has her head over heels, it’s relative to any time someone helps up. A kiss, to me, is symbolic of someone accepting you, letting you know they identify with you, and that they care about you.
It can be a fan to a musician. An employer to an employee. A mother to her child. A true friend to another. A judge to an outlaw on behalf of the victim’s family. Or a partner to his/her loved one.
When our heads are down and eyes are somber, we have to pay attention to those who are reaching out to us.
I think of how Dan Savage started the “it gets better” campaign – and it’s about this very thing. It’s about how it takes a village to lift us up and show that we support one another.
So when times are tough, we have to keep our heads up. While this orchestra instrumental piece has no vocals, it has lyrics – and that’s the beauty of this piece.
