New York City Lights
Embracing Truth Under New York City Lights
Lyrics
I left the dark side of the moon
I left a difficult or obscure situation, metaphorically referred to as the dark side of the moon.
And gave some space to the rising truth
I created some space for the emerging truth or reality.
I knew what I was going through
The speaker acknowledges an understanding of their own experiences.
And where I was cruising to
They were aware of the direction they were heading.
I'm feeling better and getting there
The speaker expresses an improvement in their emotional state.
And do believe you felt it too
The belief that someone else also sensed the positive change.
It hurt so badly and I got angry 'cause I'm a fucking fool
Intense emotional pain led to anger, perhaps due to personal mistakes or regrets.
I was blinded by the lights of a New York City sky
The speaker was blinded or overwhelmed by the bright lights of New York City.
I decided from now on there is no turning back
A firm decision to move forward with no intention of looking back.
When I was dancing on the moon
A metaphorical reference to a carefree or joyous moment, dancing on the moon.
And I was jumping on one foot
Engaging in unusual or playful behavior, jumping on one foot.
I held my heart with my left hand
The speaker symbolically held onto their heart, possibly protecting their emotions.
And ripped my thoughts with the other hand
A metaphorical expression of inner turmoil, tearing apart one's thoughts.
I'm feeling better and getting there
A repetition of the improved emotional state and the belief that others felt it too.
And do believe you felt it too
The lingering pain and anger due to personal mistakes or foolishness.
It hurt so badly and I got angry 'cause I'm a fucking fool
Reiteration of emotional turmoil and regret, possibly emphasizing its impact.
I was blinded by the lights of a New York City sky
Reaffirmation of being overwhelmed by the bright lights of New York City.
I decided from now on there is no turning back
A firm decision to move forward without looking back, echoing the earlier determination.
