Analysis of No Ember

Jawan Hardimon 1999 (Philadelphia)



Seeking refuge
But there’s no hero to come to my rescue
I’m sorry to have to pester you
But I’ve met few alike the rest of you
The parts that I like
Most of the opposition is questionable
I use stars when I write these principles
Lightening my view when I strike the easel with what I couldn’t do
To create a master peace of visuals
Giving each of you a piece of residual ease
To calm those insecurities

As the sky falls
Once and for all
I hope to receive your call
One for all
All for one
So don’t stall me out
My hearts installed
It’s 1 of 1
Soon as the intermission is finished
I’ll be in route
And we can chase the dawning sun
Back to where I met you
Somewhere along the horizon
You were hiding behind a rainbow
Trying to find your stride
And you felt as if you had nobody by your side
When the love in my eyes said otherwise
I couldn’t hide it even though I was high then
