Long Lost Twin
Elvis Longing: A Symphony of Existential Yearning
Lyrics
The dark red shadows deep beneath your skin
The deep-seated shadows beneath your skin are dark red.
Tonight I feel like Elvis longing
Tonight, there is a sense of yearning similar to how Elvis might have felt.
For his long lost twin
Elvis is metaphorically longing for a twin he has lost.
Like a pigeon choking on a diamond ring
Feeling overwhelmed, like a pigeon struggling with a valuable possession.
Tonight I feel like Elvis longing
Similar to line 2, expressing a deep longing reminiscent of Elvis.
For his long lost twin
Reiteration of the theme: Elvis yearning for a lost twin.
The highway is a ribbon
The highway is symbolized as a gift, providing everything in its path.
It makes a gift of everything
Continuation of the highway metaphor, emphasizing its generous nature.
Tonight I feel like Elvis
Elvis, like the highway, feels a sense of abundance tonight.
Longing for his long lost twin
Reiteration of Elvis' longing for a lost twin in the context of abundance.
The sea of taillights that we all must swim
Comparing life's challenges to a sea of taillights that everyone must navigate.
Tonight I feel like Elvis
Elvis, amidst life's challenges, feels a deep sense of longing.
Longing for his long lost twin
Reiteration of Elvis' yearning in the face of life's difficulties.
Clean up the mess that Eve and Adam got us in
Expressing a desire to rectify the consequences of humanity's origin story.
'cause tonight I feel like Elvis
Elvis, tonight, feels compelled to address the consequences of human history.
Longing for his long lost twin
Reiteration of Elvis' deep sense of longing linked to human history.
Open the gates of heaven and let me in
Seeking entry into a metaphorical heaven, expressing a spiritual desire.
Tonight I feel like Elvis
Elvis, tonight, feels spiritually connected and yearns for a lost twin.
Longing for his long lost twin
Reiteration of the spiritual and yearning theme in the context of heaven.
Sometimes I wish I was never born
An expression of existential pain, sometimes wishing for non-existence.
Sometimes I wish I was never born
Reiteration of existential pain, sometimes desiring to never have been born.
