Storm Clouds
Navigating Storm Clouds: Unraveling Layers of Desire and Darkness
Lyrics
It was not what it seemed
Perceived reality did not match initial impressions.
Not a tough guy shoot the shit Jack Nicholson dream
Not an idealized tough persona or Jack Nicholson-like dream.
Or a hazy cocktail scene
Not a glamorous or dreamlike cocktail scene.
The character wasn't real
The character portrayed was not authentic.
Had that 80's handsome Kevin Bacon type feel
Character had a superficial resemblance to 80's heartthrob Kevin Bacon.
Tall with sun-glassed eyes
Tall with sunglasses, projecting a specific image.
A pretty hollow disguise
The attractive appearance was a deceptive mask.
But I succumbed to the allure
Despite doubts, succumbed to the attraction.
And all our visits went by in a blur
Relationship progressed rapidly, becoming a blur.
Until it felt off-key
Things started feeling discordant or out of tune.
And then I covered it in sand
Attempted to bury the discomfort or issues.
Only fly the flags of things that I understand
Choosing to focus on what is familiar and understandable.
And this one was a stretch
The relationship was a stretch or a challenge.
Embellishment on a sketch
Exaggeration added to an incomplete depiction.
Storm clouds, elation, desire, mania, darkness
Repetition of emotions - storm clouds, elation, desire, mania, darkness.
Elation, desire, mania, darkness
-Elation, desire, mania, darkness
-Elation, desire, mania, darkness
-This is all that I know
Expressing limited knowledge about life.
Magazine progeny, daughter of radio
Identifying as a product of media influence, especially magazines and radio.
Collector of keys
Collector of experiences or relationships represented by keys.
Sometimes my lip curls
Occasional disdain or discomfort reflected in a curled lip.
For a Harrison Ford circa Working Girl
Longing for a Harrison Ford-type figure from a specific movie era.
For a non-existent world
Desiring a world that doesn't exist.
Because I waited so long it's gonna be that much better
Anticipation that waiting will make the experience better.
It's gonna be so much better this time around
-Because I waited so long it's gonna be that much better
-Storm clouds, elation, desire, mania, darkness
Repetition of emotional states, suggesting a cyclical nature.
Elation, desire, mania, darkness
-Elation, desire, mania, darkness
-Elation, desire, mania, darkness
