I think the best symbology is the study of words and how they sometimes have different meanings than what we think.
Take a Hebrew word study of the Song of Solomon for instance and see how much broader of an understanding you receive.
The word comely
Comely/ beautiful = (1) Naveh (5000) - To be at home, pleasant, suitable.(2) Vapheh (3303) - To be bright.
Interprtation
(1) At home in His presence. (2) Reflecting His glory.
The word kiss
Kiss = Nashaq (5401) - to be joined mouth to mouth - be attached (also to put on and arm oneself for battle).
Interprtation
Act of worship and submission (this arms us for spiritual battle!)
The word love
Love = Ahab (160) - desire, delight, be a passionate lover (ardent/vehement) - often used to describe the unspeakable love of God in covenant relationship with His people. Denotes a strong emotional attachment for and desire to be in the presence of the object

Army (Camp) = Machaneh (4264) - an encampment of troops dancers or angels(‘slanting rays’)
