Lyrics

Waiting for the break of day

Anticipation for the beginning of a new day.

Searching for something to say

Seeking inspiration or words to express oneself.

Dancing lights against the sky

Observing captivating lights in the sky, possibly metaphorical.

Giving up I close my eyes

Feeling defeated and giving up, symbolized by closing one's eyes.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor

Sitting in a contemplative position on the floor.

25 or 6 to 4

The time is either 25 or 26 minutes to 4 AM, possibly referencing the struggle to create or find inspiration during late hours.


Staring blindly into space

Gazing aimlessly into space, lost in thought.

Getting up to splash my face

Getting up to refresh oneself, possibly a break from creative efforts.

Wanting just to stay awake

Desiring to remain awake, suggesting a commitment to creative pursuits.

Wondering how much I can take

Contemplating one's endurance and capacity to endure challenges.

Should have tried to do some more

Regret for not putting in more effort or trying harder.

25 or 6 to 4

Reiteration of the time, emphasizing the struggle to create or find meaning.


Feeling like I ought to sleep

Feeling a need for rest or sleep.

Spinning room is sinking deep

Sensations of dizziness or disorientation.

Searching for something to say

Continued search for meaningful expression.

Waiting for the break of day

A sense of anticipation for a new day, possibly for renewed inspiration.

25 or 6 to 4

Repetition of the time, emphasizing the ongoing struggle.

25 or 6 to 4

Reiteration of the time, reinforcing the theme of creative challenge.
