Reflections in the Calm Before the Storm

Dare's song "Calm Before The Storm" is a poignant exploration of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a past filled with hope and dreams, symbolized by moonlit skies and eagles soaring high. These images evoke a sense of freedom and possibility that the narrator once shared with a significant other. The line "I tried to be your wings and fly away" suggests a deep connection and a desire to support and uplift the other person, highlighting the emotional depth of their relationship.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the present is marked by a sense of disillusionment and longing. The repeated imagery of standing alone and holding hands to the sky conveys a feeling of isolation and a search for meaning. The phrase "drowning before your eyes" captures the overwhelming nature of these emotions, as the narrator grapples with the loss of what once was. The chorus, with its plea to be carried to the water's edge, symbolizes a desire for cleansing and renewal, a way to wash away the pain and find peace.

The concept of the "calm before the storm" serves as a powerful metaphor throughout the song. It represents a moment of stillness and reflection before the inevitable turmoil and change. The calm is both a source of comfort and a reminder of the impending storm, reflecting the duality of human experience. The song's conclusion, with the repeated assertion that the calm before the storm is over, suggests a resolution and acceptance of the past, allowing the narrator to move forward with a sense of closure and understanding.
