Lyrics
Devilish friends
Refers to friends with negative intentions or behaviors
Always walk around
These friends are always present or around
Heavenly streets
Symbolic of pleasant or idealized surroundings
Fair weather friend
Friends who are only supportive in good times
And they need a lift
They seek assistance but collapse when help arrives
Then they fall to the floor
They experience a downfall when someone reliable is present
When you come around
When you, a reliable presence, appear
Seen it before
Similar situations have been witnessed previously
But you won't again
However, this scenario won't repeat
Severed the cord
Separated ties to something sacred or special
To the holy ground
Disconnect from a revered or cherished place
Oh in the moon mode
Acting or feeling a certain way under the influence of the moon
So you go where you hide
Retreat or hide when feeling emotionally low
When you're low down
Assurance of not interfering with this retreat
Oh no I won't be in the way
Won't obstruct or hinder this retreat
Of your moon mode
Reiterating the idea of retreating under the moon's influence
So you go
Continuation of the idea of retreating or hiding
Floating along
Moving or progressing aimlessly
Through a brand new sky
Through a new or different experience
I find myself in a cloud
Feeling disconnected or disoriented
And I wonder why
Questioning the reason or purpose behind the situation
Nothing tastes the same anymore
Experiencing a lack of satisfaction or fulfillment
And nothing feels
Things don't evoke the same sensations as before
The way it did before
Emotions and experiences have changed
So I try and I try
Struggling to find a solution or a way forward
And I see the way through
Continuously attempting to discover a path forward
I try and I try
Repetition of efforts to find a solution or direction
And I see the way through
Continued efforts to navigate through difficulties
But sinner man
Addressing someone who has done wrong or sinned
Where you gonna run to?
Asking where the person will seek refuge or escape
Sinner man
Repeatedly addressing the person who has sinned
Where you gonna run to?
Reiterating the question of where the person will seek refuge or escape
Oh in the moon mode
Similar to line 13, suggesting behavior influenced by the moon
Moon mode
Repetition, emphasizing the moon's influence on behavior
