Nightjar
Nightjar Reflections: Embracing Change and Finding Light
Lyrics
I saw a night jar
I observed a night jar
It looked at me
The night jar made eye contact with me
How great to be seen by any old thing
Expressing the joy of being noticed by any entity
There's fire in the clouds
There is a fiery quality in the clouds
In the light that shrouds
Describing the light that envelops with mystery
And I see him in the warmth endowed
Witnessing warmth in the surroundings
I've hurt and been hurt
Experiencing both causing and enduring pain
Left cries unheard
Instances where cries for help go unnoticed
But I can change, on my word
Expressing a commitment to change
And I'll leave in the spring
Planning to depart during spring
When the bluebirds sing
Linking departure to the singing of bluebirds
And I won't leave a single thing
Leaving without any possessions
When the June bugs swarm
Referencing the presence of June bugs and basins
And the basins form
Describing the formation of basins
I left my rage in a thunderstorm
Leaving anger behind during a thunderstorm
Dark as coal tar
Describing the darkness of pain as dark as coal tar
Is the pain in the scar
Connecting pain to a scar
Misery is a passing car
Viewing misery as a transient experience
And I'll leave in the spring
Reiterating the plan to leave in spring
When the bluebirds sing
Linking departure again to the singing of bluebirds
And I won't leave a single thing
Reaffirming the departure without taking anything
And I just can't believe
Expressing disbelief and inability to conceive
Simply can't conceive
Unable to imagine a life without someone
That I would ever want to be
Contemplating the undesirable state of being without the person
Without you
Expressing the importance of the mentioned person
And I left in '20
Referring to leaving in the year 1920
In the dying days
Departing during the final days of the year
Drove to the south not for to stay
Traveling south with the intention of not staying
It don't get easy
Highlighting the perpetual challenge of life
It just gets far
Life doesn't become easier but rather more distant
You learn to be wherever you are
Learning to adapt to one's current situation
