Late-night Revelations: Embracing Connection Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
It's four in the morning
Expressing the early morning hour.
And you care for not to wake your family up
Choosing not to disturb family members.
Sounds like the driver is early
Noticing the early arrival of a driver.
And you try and pay attention when he talks
Trying to focus on the driver's conversation.
That's his daughter on the dash board
Identifying a picture of the driver's daughter on the dashboard.
And you hope he's this proud of her
Hoping the driver is proud of his daughter.
If she ends up just like him
Expressing the desire for the daughter to be like her father.
Because he seems like a better fellow than
Recognizing the driver as a better person than he perceives himself.
He thinks he is
Highlighting the driver's self-perception.
It was crazy at the airport
Describing a chaotic situation at the airport.
And you'd rather read the news than try to talk
Preferring to read the news instead of engaging in conversation.
To the woman on your right who
Referring to a woman on the right side.
Says, "You don't believe that do you?"
Questioning the listener's beliefs.
You ask why and bite your tongue
Asking why and restraining from immediate response.
And pay attention until she's done
Paying attention to her words until she finishes.
Telling you how the saint the travesty they say you live
Discussing a saintly figure amid a perceived travesty in life.
Even if you don't believe that what she's telling you is true
Listening even if one doesn't believe the information is true.
Your still listening to her and him and me
Continuing to listen to various perspectives.
Even now from the meria
Referring to the media where one plugs in a laptop.
Where you plugging in you laptop
Engaging in media consumption and technology.
And untangling your earbuds
Dealing with the practicality of untangling earbuds.
Let us know when you can hear us
Requesting acknowledgment of audio reception.
'Cause my friendship kind of views
Expressing a sense of friendship that transcends divisions.
Make me feel like we're less divided than I feel we are
Feeling less divided than perceived.
Even if you don't believe the hearts we're working with are true
Listening despite doubting the sincerity of hearts.
Your still listening to her and him and me
Continuing to listen to diverse voices.
When it's us who should be listening to you
Acknowledging the need for reciprocal listening.
And it's me I should be listening to you
Recognizing the importance of self-reflection and listening.
And if we travel together only ever doubt
Encouraging joint travel without doubt.
This one wasting
Emphasizing the value of not wasting time.
Thanks for listening
Expressing gratitude for the act of listening.
