Imaginary Bullets
Interpretation by Kay Duncan
Past trauma can be buried deep. When old pain becomes triggered, the memories, like demons, come back to wound us all over again. Learning ways to protect ourselves – an internal side step or dance can help us dodge those imaginary bullets.

I’ve been holding back
Lost in introspection
Wasting precious time
Hoping for some sort of direction
Letting old and weary words
Thinking on the things you didn’t do
Cut me to the core
And I’ve been wallowing there too long

Chorus:
So when I feel them coming
When the demons reunite
Well I do a little dance in my head
Spinning left and moving right
I’m dodging bullets
Imaginary bullets
I’m dodging bullets
But I’m doing all right


Have you been walking on
A bed of nails
Beneath unyielding iron skies
Crushing the wind from your sails
Now you’re rowing out
Towards a perfect Golden Section
You don’t need no tail wind
To find your place of preservation

Chorus:
So when you feel them coming
When the demons reunite
Well just do a little dance in your head
Spinning left and moving right
You’re dodging bullets
Imaginary bullets
You’re dodging bullets
And you’re doing all right

We’re dodging bullets
Imaginary bullets
We’re dodging bullets
And we’re doing all right
We’re dodging bullets
And we’re all right
