Haze
Embracing Life's Tangled Light: A Journey Through City Of Auburn's 'Haze'
Lyrics
i cannot hold my breath no more
I cannot endure the breath-holding any longer.
release the sweet within my lungs
Release the sweetness trapped within my lungs.
it’s the same thing as before
It's a repetition of a familiar experience.
i feel unhinged, manic inspired
I feel emotionally unsettled, driven, and creatively stimulated.
it’s getting late and i’m feeling tired
The night is progressing, and I'm becoming fatigued.
do all things end just where they ought to be?
Questioning if things conclude as expected.
use me up and tip me over
Utilize me fully and overturn my existence.
wait for fall, dare to go under and behold
Wait for the fall, be daring enough to go beneath the surface, and witness.
don’t let go / you’re not alone
Hold on; you're not alone.
brace yourself so come tomorrow
Prepare for what comes tomorrow.
lead with joy and fear no sorrow and be whole
Live with joy, devoid of sorrow, and be complete.
all of this is tangled up in light
Complexities are intertwined with illumination.
despite our fears that love will
Despite fears, love struggles to find its way into our lives.
never make its way in our lives
Expressing skepticism about love's presence.
everyone now speaks of communal haze:
Referring to a shared state of confusion and concern.
the dread and worry within a day
The anxiety and apprehension within a single day.
i think i found life bound in-between
Discovering the essence of life in between extremes.
it takes its time to find me
Time is required for life to reveal itself to me.
so leave me that joy left haunting
Leave me with the persistent joy that lingers.
in search of a day i’m wanting back
In pursuit of a day I desire to reclaim.
dreaming that moment will shine through
Dreaming of a moment breaking through.
it’s in everything i don’t see
Existence of something in everything I'm oblivious to.
it’s in everything i don’t believe
Existence of something in everything I don't believe.
up until now i swore to be graceful
Until now, I pledged to be graceful.
i missed the point of not being able
Misunderstood the significance of not having limitations.
i couldn’t have it any other way
No other way I could have experienced it.
it's in everything
It's pervasive in every aspect of existence.
