On and Off
Navigating the Ebb and Flow of Life: Anna Jordan's 'On and Off' Reflections
Lyrics
Well I wondered late and I drove all night
Expressing a sense of curiosity and a journey undertaken during the night.
And I saw that holy golden light
Observing a significant, spiritual, or divine experience represented by a golden light.
Maybe I got through, but it's too soon to see right
Uncertain about the outcome of the journey; acknowledging the need for time to reveal results.
See towns and cities by the sea
Traveling and encountering coastal towns and cities.
But electricity's not good to me
Feeling disconnected due to the adverse effects of electricity.
Don't have the words now, I'm feeling solitary
Experiencing difficulty in expressing emotions, possibly feeling isolated.
But the wind is rolling of the sea
Noticing the influence of the wind, possibly symbolizing change or transition.
And soon it's fall, I see it's falling
Recognizing the approach of autumn, a season associated with change.
You're never close enough to me
Expressing emotional distance and the challenge of closeness.
It's always long, there's always longing
Perceiving time as consistently lengthy, accompanied by a persistent sense of longing.
Almost old enough to see
Nearing adulthood but still gaining insights into life.
There's good things here and good things missing
Acknowledging both positive and absent elements in life.
It's on and off
Describing a fluctuating or inconsistent pattern, possibly in relationships or emotions.
So often come to this
Reflecting on the recurring nature of a situation.
If I'm made of my mama
Contemplating one's identity and its connection to their mother.
Maybe my mama's mostly made of me
Suggesting a mutual influence between the speaker and their mother.
It's like the moonlight
Drawing a comparison to moonlight and sunlight, possibly highlighting dual aspects of life.
Just the sunshine, slowly
Describing the passage of time, possibly slowly or with contemplation.
Oh I'm just trying to reach you right
Expressing an effort to communicate effectively.
But I always find you fortified
Finding challenges in reaching someone, possibly due to emotional barriers.
Is it the leaving
Considering the impact of departure, suggesting emotional weight.
Guess that's also on my mind
Reflecting on the theme of leaving as a prevalent thought.
And the wind is rolling of the sea
Reiterating the influence of the wind, emphasizing the consistent force of change.
And soon it's fall, I see it's falling
Repeating the observation of the approaching fall, reinforcing the theme of change.
You're never close enough to me
Reiterating the challenge of emotional closeness.
It's always long, there's always longing
Repeating the perception of time as long, coupled with persistent longing.
Almost old enough to see
Reiterating the speaker's evolving understanding of life as they approach maturity.
There's good things here and good things missing
Repeating the acknowledgment of both positive and absent aspects in life.
It's on and off
Reiterating the theme of inconsistency or fluctuation in a situation.
So often come to this
Emphasizing the recurring nature of the described experiences.
