Twilight
Lost in Japan's Twilight: A Soul's Search for Meaning
Lyrics
I took to the sky and wondered why
I embarked on a journey and questioned its purpose
If this is the place where I'm so high
Wondering if this elevated state is where I belong
Tell me why I can't get by
Seeking an explanation for why I struggle
Tell me why I can't survive
Questioning my ability to endure challenges
So I'll slip on this tried, tested second skin
Choosing to wear a familiar, reliable persona
So thick and heavy that it's sure to make me him
A persona so strong that it almost transforms me
Took the story as mine to help guide my line but I
Adopting a narrative to guide my path, but...
I'm praying to a man
Turning to prayer, possibly to a lost individual in Japan
Who is lost in Japan
Continuing to pray for someone lost in Japan
I'm praying to a man
Repetition of the prayer for a lost soul in Japan
Who is lost in Japan
Reiteration of the prayer for a lost individual in Japan
Just another area code for another lost soul
Referring to an area code as a symbol of disorientation
Still I read your books, took your word as truth
Despite following advice, finding the truth elusive
But the gospel isn't right, the gospel isn't mine
Rejecting a particular belief system as incorrect
The gospel's advertised, the gospel's pretty lights
Noticing the flashy promotion of certain ideologies
Click, pose and prophesy
Describing a performative act of clicking, posing, and prophesying
Well it sure sounds good on you
Acknowledging that the performance sounds good
Hell it sure looked good on you
Acknowledging that the performance looks good
So I'll step to the side and I'll look again
Stepping aside to reconsider and search for authenticity
For another with a star and a good looking skin
Looking for someone with both fame and genuine character
Maybe this one will fit, maybe this one will work
Hoping to find a fitting and effective solution
I need an anchor in the dark 'cause I'm
Expressing a need for stability in the darkness
I'm loose in the sky
Feeling untethered and unrestrained in the sky
Drifting through the twilight
Moving aimlessly through a transitional phase
I'm loose in the sky
Continuing the sense of drifting in the twilight
Drifting through the twilight
Repeating the notion of being adrift in the twilight
I'm praying to a man
Resuming prayers for a lost individual in Japan
Who is lost in Japan
Persisting in seeking guidance for someone lost in Japan
I'm praying to a man
Reiterating the act of praying for a lost soul in Japan
Who is lost in Japan
Continuing the prayer for someone lost in Japan
I took to the sky and wondered why
Revisiting the initial contemplation of the journey
If this is the place where I'm so high
Questioning the suitability of the current elevated state
Tell me why I can't get by
Expressing frustration about difficulties in coping
Tell me why I can't survive
Reiterating the challenge of survival
I'm praying to a man
Repeating prayers for a lost individual in Japan
Who is lost in Japan
Persisting in seeking guidance for someone lost in Japan
I'm praying to a man
Reiterating the act of praying for a lost soul in Japan
Who is lost in Japan
Continuing the prayer for someone lost in Japan
I'm loose in the sky
Repeating the sense of being untethered in the sky
Drifting through the twilight
Reiterating the experience of drifting through the twilight
I'm loose in the sky
Continuing the sense of drifting in the twilight
Drifting through the twilight
Repeating the notion of being adrift in the twilight
Got me running all the time and I
Feeling the pressure of constant movement and urgency
