The Humid Press of Days
Soaring Beyond Gravity: Unraveling the Meaning of 'The Humid Press of Days'
Lyrics
What did it mean to fly
Contemplating the significance of flight
A tremor in your soul
A profound inner disturbance or emotion
To resist the dull existence of gravity
Defying the monotonous nature of gravity
Upward bound, trees fly
Trees rising in an upward direction
Two meadows and a fields
Reference to specific landscapes: two meadows and a field
And the border is a simple line of hills
The boundary represented by a line of hills
Ah, didja come uncoiled
Questioning if one became disentangled or liberated
Between heavens and the Earth
Existing between the celestial and terrestrial realms
Whispered nonsense into your radio
Speaking nonsensical words over the radio
Now afternoons you seldom move
Currently, there is minimal movement during afternoons
Grounded to a little bit of earth
Rooted or attached to a small portion of the Earth
And, after all, time barely crawls
The passage of time feels exceedingly slow
Unoccupied, between each breath it sticks
Time seems to pause between breaths, a sense of emptiness
What did it mean to fly
Revisiting the idea and meaning of flight
When you were bound to the Earth
Reflecting on flight when bound to the Earth
A release from the humid press of days
Freedom from the oppressive weight of mundane existence
Now afternoons it hardly moves
Little movement during afternoons, questioning endurance
I wonder how you make it through each day
Curiosity about coping with the challenges of each day
And, after all, time barely crawls
Time's slow progression and a sense of vacancy
Unoccupied, between each breath it sticks
Time pauses between breaths, an idle state
What did it mean to fly
Revisiting the idea and meaning of flight once again
A tremor in your soul
A recurring inner disturbance or emotion related to flight
To resist the dull existence of gravity
Defying the dullness imposed by gravity repeatedly
What did it mean to you
Asking about the personal significance of flight
An early chat with death
An early encounter or conversation with death
To pull your body for a moment from your soul
Momentarily separating the body from the soul
