Neon Fire
Neon Fire: A Heart's Blaze and Broken Strides
Lyrics
There was nothing left that I could do
Feeling helpless, with no options remaining.
I couldn't break the code to get through
Unable to decipher a challenge or obstacle.
So I took a train to the other side of town
Seeking a change by moving to a different part of town.
Dive bars, I was oblivion bound
Frequenting low-key bars, heading towards a state of unawareness.
Now the memories begin to burn
Recalling past experiences that now evoke intense emotions.
For hazy summer sunsets I yearn
Longing for idyllic summer evenings.
I remember how our fingers were perfectly entwined
Nostalgia for the tactile connection with a significant other.
Our hands were symmetry defined
Highlighting the beauty of symmetry in a relationship.
I look up above and the sun blinds my eyes
Blinded by the brightness of the sun while gazing upward.
The white vapour trails, as you jet through the sky
Observing vapor trails in the sky as a loved one travels.
And you are, tearing a hole in my heart
Expressing the emotional impact of a loved one's departure.
You left me alone to walk the highest wire
Left alone to face challenges without support.
You were the one, my neon fire
Describing the departed person as a vibrant and essential part of life.
And you are, ripping my soul right apart
Conveying the profound emotional pain caused by the departure.
As I walk my shadow starts to grow
Symbolizing personal growth through the metaphor of a lengthening shadow.
With ocean strides I try to let go
Struggling to move forward, using the metaphor of walking with long strides.
I hear the joy of the boardwalk arcade cash
Recalling joyful moments from the past, now tinged with nostalgia.
Two-player dreams I won't ever get back
Expressing the impossibility of reclaiming certain past experiences.
I look up above and the sun blinds my eyes
Repetition of the experience of being blinded by the sun.
The white vapour trails, as you jet through the sky
Reiteration of observing vapor trails and the departure of a loved one.
And you are, tearing a hole in my heart
Reemphasizing the emotional impact of a loved one's departure.
You left me alone to walk the highest wire
Highlighting the loneliness and vulnerability of walking a challenging path alone.
You were the one, my neon fire
Affirming the departed person as a crucial and radiant influence.
And you are, ripping my soul right apart
Underlining the deep emotional wounds caused by the departure.
