The Arrow Takes Flight (417 Hz)

[Pipa hook] [Handclaps] Maybe you meant it Maybe you didn't Maybe I heard What wasn't in it Maybe that silence Was only a pause Maybe I'm building A case with no cause Maybe I know you Maybe I don't Maybe I'll call you Maybe I won't Maybe I'm right Maybe I'm wrong How did one thought Get this damn long? [Guzheng run] I turn it over Turn it again Make an enemy Make it a friend Throw it in water Watch it come back One little question A thousand little tracks [Pre-Chorus] Pull back Hold tight Not yet Not right One voice says stay One says go How long can an arrow Live inside a bow? [Chorus] Let the arrow take flight Let it cut through the night I've been thinking in circles Till the circles feel right I've been moon I've been water I've been waiting for a sign But an arrow wasn't made To spend forever Changing its mind Let it go Let it go Maybe I don't have to know Let the arrow Take flight [Pipa hook] [Dizi answer] I feel everything That's my trouble One little ripple Turns into double Read every face Read every room Read every word Then rewrite it by noon I can find danger Before it arrives I can find ten ways A good thing could die Then find eleven Where everything's fine God It's exhausting Living inside My mind [Handclaps] [Pre-Chorus] Pull back Hold tight Too much All night One voice says run One says no How long can an arrow Live inside a bow? [Chorus] Let the arrow take flight Let it cut through the night I've been thinking in circles Till the circles feel right I've been moon I've been water I've been waiting for a sign But an arrow wasn't made To spend forever Changing its mind Let it go Let it go Maybe I don't have to know Let the arrow Take flight [Instrumental break] [Pipa and acoustic trade hook] [Guzheng answers] [Erhu rises] [Drums push harder] Maybe soft Doesn't mean still Maybe yielding Has a will Maybe water Moves the stone Without becoming Something stone Maybe darkness Isn't fear Maybe listening Brought me here Maybe all this time I thought Strength was something I was not [Music drops] [Bridge] I don't need to kill the questions I don't need to pick a side There is something in the waiting There is something in the stride I can bend without surrender I can move without a fight I can hold the dark inside me And still Run toward The light [Beat] I can trust what I am feeling Without believing Every thought [Beat] Oh There it is [Full band] [Final Chorus] Let the arrow take flight Let it cut through the night I don't need another hour Making wrong and right I am moon I am water I am morning I am fire I can listen to the quiet And still follow my desire Let it go Let it go I don't need the end to know There's a time to draw the arrow There's a time to hold it slow There's a time to feel the tension Then there's only one way Left to know [Handclaps] Let it go [Pipa] Let it go [Guzheng] Let it go [Erhu answers] Let the arrow Take flight [Pipa hook] [Arrow-release percussion snap] [End]
