Crash
Embracing Risk: A Poetic Flight Into the Abyss
Lyrics
Reaching for the light
Expressing a desire or effort to reach a positive or enlightened state.
I'm struggling to find the clothes I threw
Struggling to locate discarded clothing from a previous night's activities.
Off in the night when we came in
Recalling a night when actions were taken, possibly implying regret or consequences.
Dress for funeral days
Dressing up for somber occasions, suggesting a melancholic atmosphere.
When night's passed away now all that's left
Reflecting on the passage of time and the remnants of the night that has ended.
Is there in the bed where I had been
Noting the aftermath left in the bed, hinting at the consequences of actions taken.
But while, while we're still young
Acknowledging youth and the fleeting nature of time.
Your warmth I'll deny, to chase my own sun
Choosing to distance oneself from warmth or comfort to pursue personal aspirations.
On wings made of wax, I'll fly away
Expressing a daring pursuit with a metaphorical reference to Icarus and his wax wings.
Kiss me one last time before I crash
Seeking a final affectionate moment before facing a potential downfall or failure.
How long can you choose
Pondering the duration one can take things for granted before consequences arise.
Taking a view for granted?
Considering the value of a perspective that may have been overlooked.
Beds left feeling used
Describing a sense of emptiness or neglect in the aftermath of intimate experiences.
Never slept in
Highlighting the impact of neglect, emphasizing the beds being left unused.
But worse, if I don't try
Weighing the potential regret of not making an effort or taking a chance.
Falling I'd do regardless
Accepting the inevitability of falling, regardless of efforts to avoid it.
By closing my eyes
Suggesting surrender or resignation by closing one's eyes, possibly avoiding reality.
Be giving in
Considering the possibility of giving in to challenges or temptations.
So while, while we're still young
Reiterating the theme of youth and the urgency to make choices before time passes.
Your warmth I'll deny, to chase my own sun
Choosing to deny warmth or comfort in pursuit of personal goals, repeating from line 8.
On wings made of wax, I'll fly away
Repeating the daring pursuit metaphor with a reference to Icarus and wax wings.
Kiss me one last time before I crash
Seeking a final affectionate moment before a potential downfall, repeating from line 10.
On wings made of wax, I'll fly away
Repeating the metaphor of flying away with wings made of wax, emphasizing risk.
Kiss me one last time
Reiterating the desire for a final affectionate moment before facing consequences.
Before I crash.
Stressing the urgency of seeking affection before an impending crash or failure.
