Nowhere Lullaby
Finding Light in the Shadows: Nowhere Lullaby's Timeless Reflections
Lyrics
Well the stakes of the game seemed fine
Reflecting on the acceptable risks in a situation
'Till you lost after all this time
Realizing the loss after a significant amount of time
Has to make you cry
The situation is emotionally distressing
But you don't and you don't know why
The reason for not crying is unclear
Trying not to solve this
Choosing not to find a solution to a problem
Doesn't mean it's not that bad
The severity of the situation may not be apparent despite avoidance
And everyone gets through the night
Assurance that everyone manages to get through difficult times
And everyone wakes up all night
A universal experience of waking up during the night
And the fear you feel will pass
The fear being felt is temporary
Then a calmness that will last
After fear, a lasting calmness is expected
We will learn to drift off fast
Learning to fall asleep quickly
Another nowhere lullaby
A lullaby that provides no direction or purpose
You can rest or you can try
The choice between relaxation and attempting something
And this waste it shines in every way
An aspect of life that stands out despite being wasteful
You make me laugh every single day
Expressing joy from daily laughter
And you hardly make me cry
Crying is infrequent despite occasional difficulty
Made fifteen years fly by
Time has passed quickly in a relationship
Still here and I don't know why
Perplexed about the continued presence in the relationship
Has it been that long
Reflecting on the passage of a significant amount of time
Where's the time and the table gone
Wondering about the disappearance of time and its records
Hope it's longer than that now
Hoping for an extended duration of the present
Don't forget we don't know how
Emphasizing uncertainty about the future
And every one gets feeling down
Acknowledging that everyone experiences low points
But everybody understands
A collective understanding of individual struggles
We're all doing what we can
Doing one's best given the circumstances
