Kris, that song to me sounds like you had entered someone else's mind. A bit ominous, as you said, (I wouldn't want to receive such a letter or phone call) but it sounds like an attempt to understand.

Here is one of mine that I rarely sing for anyone else because it definitely is navel gazing.

The First Time

Our lives together were clashes of will
And we finally shook ourselves free
But I remember- and treasure it still-
The first time you smiled on me.

Cho:

The first time, the first time
The first time you smiled on me
Whatever may happen I'll never forget
The first time you smiled on me.

All bottom and belly and bald little head
Pink arms and sweet legs kicking free
My own little baby in her little bed
The first time God smiled on me.
Music and Laughter are friends of Delight
I'm loving and loved and I'm free
In this land of mountains and the great Northern Lights
The first time my world smiled on me.
