Lately, Always
Burning Brighter: A Forbidden Fantasy and the Pursuit of Inspiration
Lyrics
Been drinking.. been sinking ever deeper
Expressing a struggle with drinking and sinking deeper into difficulties.
Barely getting through
Describing the difficulty of just getting by or surviving.
Playing Russian roulette
Metaphorically playing a dangerous game with death, taking risks.
With the reaper
Acknowledging the presence of mortality or impending danger.
Seeing you online sure helps the time run sweeter
Seeking solace in the online presence of someone, finding comfort.
I'm aware that you're forbidden territory
Acknowledging that the person is off-limits or forbidden.
But I could sure use a fantasy
Expressing a desire for a fantasy or escape from reality.
I consider this flame alight
Considering a spark or passion still exists in the situation.
It's been out too many dark nights
Noting that the flame has been extinguished during dark times.
But I'm burning brighter lately always
Expressing a recent intensification of emotions or passion.
And in the fantasy I'm flying oversea
Imagining a fantasy where the speaker is flying overseas.
Feeling mutual
Feeling a mutual connection in the fantasy world.
Leaving everything, starting up again
Contemplating leaving everything behind and starting afresh.
Somewhere neutral
Desiring to begin anew in a neutral or unbiased place.
This broken noun just needs a brand new plural
Describing a need for a fresh perspective or approach to life.
You're the one when I think about settling down
Identifying someone as the ideal partner for settling down.
I wanna spend my time around
Expressing a desire to spend time with the ideal partner.
(chorus)
(Chorus) - Repeating the intensified emotions or passion mentioned earlier.
Right now, for sure, I could use some your inspiration
Expressing a need for inspiration in the present moment.
Feel the benefit of a little bit of education
Recognizing the benefits of education or learning in difficult times.
All that I need I can find in one location
Believing that everything needed can be found in one specific place.
A man's gotta have a dream if he's gonna move on
Stating the importance of having dreams to move forward.
And I've still got the same one
Confirming a persistence of a specific dream despite circumstances.
(chorus)
(Chorus) - Reiterating the theme of intensified emotions or passion.
