"Your eyes make me humble. I fall down at your feet"
Funny how certain lines from a song stick with you. Every other word may be a blur but you remember that one line. It's your connection to the song and how it relates to your world. It has ultimate meaning for you. It may be something from your past or something that you wish that you had taken the chance to express. From the Ellis Paul song, Conversation With a Ghost:
Some people come along in life and have a powerful effect. You want to know everything about them. The way they go about their life is an example that you struggle to match. You're captured by everything about them.
"Are all those things you told me once still true?"
I might be afraid of the answer but there's a person or two, if the moment and situation was right, that I'd like to ask that of. Regardless though, the line in the song just stands out for me with each listen. Maybe an attempt to complete something that's been left incomplete. Maybe it's just wondering what path a specific person has taken since you lost contact? Maybe just wanting to experience the moment again? A yearning that needs updating.
"I'm thinkin' bout eternity, some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me."
Sounds hopeful huh? Maybe it's not all gloom and doom like some would have you believe. Both in the present and in the future. I'll strongly second that emotion. I sure don't enjoy looking forward in fear.
