Blackout
Navigating Darkness: Seeking Light Amidst Blackout
Lyrics
Wake me up when the light's back on
Expressing a desire to be awakened when there is light.
They still dance but the sound is gone
People are still dancing, but the music or joy is absent.
So I roam the streets for saviours
Searching for saviors in the streets to transform darkness into light.
To turn night into day
Seeking external help to bring brightness to the night.
I hear echoes of their voices
Hearing faint traces of others' voices, though they are distant.
But they're so far away
Despite hearing voices, the support seems far away and inaccessible.
Power out!
Announcement of a power outage.
System down!
The system is not functioning.
Courage don't fail me now
Requesting courage in a challenging situation.
Light me up
Asking to be illuminated or guided.
Show me how
Desiring guidance on surviving in the midst of darkness.
To survive when all I see is the blackout
Expressing the struggle to survive when surrounded by darkness.
Power's down but the show goes on
Despite the power outage, life continues.
Crowds disperse to await the sun
People disperse, awaiting the return of sunlight.
But I'm trapped with my reflection
Feeling trapped with one's own reflection as daylight fades.
In the last dying light
Reflecting on choices at the intersection of darkness and light.
Standing at the intersection
The dilemma of whether to escape or confront challenges.
Do I flee? Do I fight?
Continuation of the inner conflict in the face of adversity.
Power out!
Reiteration of a power outage.
System down!
Reiteration that the system is not operational.
Courage don't fail me now
Repeating the call for courage in difficult circumstances.
Light me up
Asking for guidance or illumination in times of crisis.
Show me how
Expressing the need to be shown how to survive in the absence of light.
To survive when I can't see
Struggling to survive when visibility is limited.
It's a losing fight
Highlighting the difficulty in winning a battle when the world is chaotic.
When the world's not right
Expressing the sense of unease when the world is not in order.
And I feel just like I'm falling
Feeling like falling and losing control.
There's a distant light
A glimmer of hope or guidance in the distance.
Almost out of sight
Almost losing sight of the distant light.
And I see a night with no end
Seeing a seemingly endless night with no resolution.
Have I lost my will to care?
Questioning whether the will to care has been lost.
Power out!
Reiteration of a power outage.
System down!
Reiteration that the system is not functioning.
Courage don't fail me now
Repeating the plea for courage in challenging moments.
Light me up
Asking to be illuminated or guided once again.
Show me how
Requesting guidance on surviving in the absence of visibility.
To survive when I can't see
Reiterating the struggle to survive in the dark.
Lights fade in as the clock strikes 12
Describing the gradual return of light as the clock strikes midnight.
Cheers ring out, I embrace myself
Celebrating the return of light with cheers while preparing for what comes next.
