Broken Door
Nostalgic Rain: Rediscovering Magic Through Broken Windows
Lyrics
It's raining tonight
Reflecting on a rainy night
And the smell of the breeze through my window
Noticing the scent of the breeze through the window
Oh it reminds me of when I was a child, oh
Nostalgia for childhood triggered by the rain
Am I lying just awake
Awake and contemplative, questioning honesty
I close my eyes, it's like I'm almost there
Imagining a past experience with closed eyes
Things felt like magic then
Recalling a time when things felt magical
And I think (and I think)
Internal reflection on the past
And I think to myself
Continuation of self-reflection
If I knew my father then I would ask
Desire to ask father about experiences
If it felt like this at twenty three
Wondering if the feeling persists at 23
Everyday it seems more like all magic's behind me
Sense of loss and diminishing magic
If I knew my father then I would ask
Reiteration of desire to ask father
If it felt like this at twenty three
Questioning if the experience is universal at 23
It was simple back then
Reflection on simplicity in the past
Looking out of this same window
Viewing the world through the same window
Oh, back when I was a child
Nostalgia for childhood
Before my friends past away
Recalling friends who have passed away
Before my trust had to be earned
Recognition that trust must be earned
And that first drink that lasted ten years
Reflecting on the impact of a long-lasting drink
And I think (and I think)
Repetition of internal reflection
And I think to myself
Continued self-thought
If I knew my father then I would ask
Reiteration of desire to ask father
If it felt like this at twenty three
Questioning if the feeling persists at 23
Everyday it seems more like all magic's behind me
Sense of loss and diminishing magic
If I knew my father then I would ask
Reiteration of desire to ask father
If it felt like this at twenty three
Questioning if the experience is universal at 23
Summer days lying in the grass
Recollection of carefree summer days
The world seemed bigger then
Perception of a larger world in the past
I can never find a word for that feeling until she told me her name
Finding it hard to describe a special feeling
It's what perfect means to me
Defining perfection through someone's smile
She smiled at me last night
Recent memory of a meaningful smile
Rubbing her finger in the palm of her hand
Describing a tactile moment in a dream
That's when I knew that I was dreaming
Realization of being in a dream
I can't dream anymore
Loss of the ability to dream
If I knew my father then I would ask
Reiteration of desire to ask father
If it felt like this at twenty three
Questioning if the feeling persists at 23
Everyday it seems more like all magic's behind me
Sense of loss and diminishing magic
If I knew my father then I would ask
Reiteration of desire to ask father
If it felt like this at twenty three
Questioning if the experience is universal at 23
Like twenty three
Expressing the age of 23
If I knew my father then I would ask
Reiteration of desire to ask father
If it felt like this at twenty three
Questioning if the feeling persists at 23
Everyday is seems more like all magic's behind me
Sense of loss and diminishing magic
If I knew my father then I would ask
Reiteration of desire to ask father
If it felt like this at twenty three
Questioning if the experience is universal at 23
Hey eh eh...
Ending with a vocal expression
