Gentle Like the Drugs
Gentle Like the Sunset: Finding Solace Amidst Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
Economy's wild, but the sunsets in Phoenix never go out of style
Economy's challenges contrasted with the timeless beauty of Phoenix sunsets.
I watch the colors get real, the pink and the teal
Observing the vivid colors of the sunset, specifically pink and teal.
I see a dust devil, I see an elevator
Noticing natural occurrences like a dust devil and an elevator, possibly metaphorical.
I see a Flagstaff get-together
Reference to a social gathering in Flagstaff, setting a scene.
Surprise me, when I get home
Expressing anticipation for a surprise upon returning home.
For the first time I really don't feel alone
Feeling a sense of connection and absence of loneliness upon returning home.
Or anything sad, or anything profound
Not experiencing sadness or profundity, suggesting a positive emotional state.
I just feel gentle like the drugs I do when you're not around
Feeling gentle, akin to the effects of drugs, when the person addressed is not present.
In the parking lot looking at the sky
Observing the sky in a parking lot, despite the oppressive heat.
The heat is beating down but at least it's dry
Despite the heat, finding solace in the dryness of the environment.
I see a white van and a blue van parked side by side
Spotting two vans parked together, possibly symbolizing unity or companionship.
With the windows rolled down, and our friends arrive
Friends arriving with open windows, creating a communal and open atmosphere.
While the headlining band is getting high
Observing the headlining band getting high, suggesting a carefree or relaxed environment.
Take me out, when I get home
Expressing a desire to be taken out upon returning home.
For the first time I really don't feel alone
Feeling a genuine connection and absence of loneliness upon being taken out.
Or anything sad, or anything profound
Not experiencing sadness or profundity during this time out.
I just feel gentle like the drugs I do when you're not around
Feeling gentle, similar to the effects of drugs, when the person addressed is absent.
Gentle like the drugs I do when you're not around
Reiteration of the feeling of gentleness in the absence of the addressed person.
Gentle like the drugs I do when you're not around
Reiteration of the gentle feeling in the absence of the addressed person.
