Red Light Heaven
Seeking Salvation: A Journey Through Lost Connections
Lyrics

In my phase of self-improvement, I missed a crucial page.
But I missed that page
I overlooked an important aspect while trying to improve myself.
I can’t stop looking for that red light
I can't stop seeking a metaphorical "red light," a sign or guidance.
Heaven is below my feet
The idea that heaven is beneath my feet.

I won't be humorous or quick in my approach.

I won't help you forget, indicating a refusal to provide comfort or distraction.

Expressing a desire for a fresh start one day.
Was I here before could I spell my name
Questioning if the speaker existed in this place before and could recall their identity.
When you arrive at the baggage claim
Imagining a scenario at the baggage claim and seeking support if lost.
would you pick me up if I lose my way
Asking if support would be provided in times of confusion.
I can’t stop looking for that red light
Reiteration of the search for a metaphorical "red light."
Heaven is below my feet
Reaffirming the idea that heaven is beneath the speaker's feet.
You said talk is cheap, but I’ll send you letters in
Despite saying talk is cheap, the speaker communicates through letters sent during sleep.
