Tonight
Embracing Freedom: Angel Olsen's "Tonight" Essence
Lyrics
I like the air that I breathe
I appreciate the air I breathe.
I like the thoughts that I think
I value the thoughts that occupy my mind.
I like the life that I lead
I appreciate the life I'm living.
Without you
Emphasizes the absence of someone ('you').
Without you
-Without you
-Without you
-Like how it's all coming clear
I appreciate the clarity in understanding.
All the words that I hear
I value the words I hear.
Like how I'm not in fear
I'm no longer afraid.
Without you
Reiterates the absence of 'you' and the sense of independence.
Without you
-Without you
-Without you
-And it's not because I don't love
Contrary to the absence, the speaker does love but struggles to express it.
Just don't have time to explain
Difficulty in finding time to communicate or elaborate on emotions.
All the things you think you've come to understand
Recognition of the challenges in understanding the speaker.
About me
Repetition emphasizes the focus on the speaker and the complexity of understanding.
About me
-About me
-About me
