Hospital Lights
Navigating Shadows: A Poetic Journey Through Hospital Lights
Lyrics
Blinking away
Attempting to clear my vision or focus
Hospital lights
The fluorescent lights of the hospital
Trying to make sense of it all
Trying to comprehend the situation
I’m in the dark
I'm unaware or ignorant
Waiting for you
Anticipating your arrival
But nothing’s happening anymore
Nothing is progressing anymore
I’m struggling, fighting it, I keep calling you
Struggling and persistently reaching out to you
I’m trying to guess what – what should I do?
Trying to figure out the appropriate course of action
If I could just spiral back the cruel hands of time
Desire to reverse time's harsh effects
It would be so different, we’d still be fine
If I could change the past, our situation would be better
It’s so hard just to get by
Surviving is extremely difficult
It’s a wicked game where no one makes it out alive
Life is a merciless game where no one triumphs
But if healing makes you numb
Healing might cause emotional numbness
Maybe I don’t wanna heal after all
Perhaps I don't want to heal if it means losing feeling
(Oh) With the ambulance lights I stumble
Struggling amidst the emergency lights
Oh babe, where will all the moments really go, babe?
Concern about where memories will exist
Pushing every single one inside me, force myself to remember it all
Forcing myself to retain every memory
Oh babe, where will all the feelings go to live, babe?
Questioning where emotions will reside
Pushing every single one inside me, making their new home inside my bones
Compelling emotions to settle within me deeply
November 6
A specific date, possibly significant
The sun never shines
Describing a gloomy day without brightness
Pink flowers wither in my eyes
Symbolic decay of hope or beauty
Are you with me?
Seeking a sign of your presence
Give me a sign
Requesting a clear indication or signal
Why it’s so hard to say goodbye?
Difficulty in bidding farewell
I’m struggling, fighting it, I keep calling you
Continuing to struggle and call out to you
I’m trying to guess what – what should I do?
Trying to determine the right action
If I could just spiral back the cruel hands of time
Wishing to reverse the effects of time
It would be so different, we’d still be fine
Belief that altering the past would yield a better present
It’s so hard just to get by
Surviving is incredibly challenging
It’s a wicked game where no one makes it out alive
Life is a harsh game with no winners
But if healing makes you numb
Questioning the consequences of healing
Maybe I don’t wanna heal after all
Maybe avoiding healing to preserve emotions
(Oh) With the ambulance lights I stumble
Struggling amidst emergency lights again
Oh babe, where will all the moments really go, babe?
Concern about the fate of cherished moments
Pushing every single one inside me, force myself to remember it all
Forcing myself to retain every single memory
Oh babe, where will all the feelings go to live, babe?
Questioning where emotions will find a home
Pushing every single one inside me, making their new home inside my bones
Encouraging emotions to embed within me deeply
With the ambulance lights I stumble
Struggling amidst emergency lights once more
