Periwinkle Blues
Periwinkle Blues: Navigating Urban Despair with Concrete Paradise
Lyrics
Walked down along the sultry streets
Reflecting on a stroll through warm, sensuous streets
Smell of diesel through my hair
Scent of diesel permeating the surroundings
Concrete underneath my feet
Walking on concrete, grounded and real
And my eyes without a care
Eyes expressing carefree attitude
Got twenty bills touching my pocket threads
Carrying cash but unable to alleviate distress
can't get no money for the grief
Financial struggle despite efforts
Move through my life like an automation
Navigating life mechanically, lacking mental relief
But my mind needs some relief
A plea for solace in a turbulent mind
I don't think you realize
Addressing a lack of awareness in others
What you've done with my despair
Noticing the impact of someone on personal despair
The whole point of finding a friend
Defining the essence of friendship as caring
Is someone who you think cared
Expressing disappointment in perceived friendship
I could talk about it all damn day
Willingness to discuss personal struggles extensively
But we all know life ain't fair
Acknowledging life's inherent unfairness
You claim to understand
Challenging someone's claim to understand personal experiences
What it all means to me
Questioning comprehension of one's inner world
I tried to free my mind
Attempting to free the mind but facing difficulty
But it couldn't be done so swiftly
Struggling with mental liberation
Think about all the days
Reflecting on shared experiences and locked moments
We locked ourselves as two
Contemplating the past when two were inseparable
Wondering if you're happy now
Wondering about the other's current happiness
Well I'm still stuck in the rue
Feeling trapped in a state of sadness or regret
Well darling I think sometimes
Reflecting on what could have been
Of what things came to be
Thoughts about the current situation without idealization
it's hard to say without a pipe dream
Expressing difficulty in articulating aspirations
And no one can truly see
Acknowledging the subjective nature of perception
But we're both better now
Hopeful outlook on personal growth
At least I hope that's true
Desiring positive change for both individuals
Across a tunnel of dreams
A metaphorical journey through dreams and aspirations
I see periwinkle blue
Symbolizing a hopeful and calming color, periwinkle blue
