Cross My Fingers
Navigating Midnight Battles: Cross My Fingers by Gretta Ziller
Lyrics
4am the wars still raging
It's 4am, and a conflict or struggle is ongoing.
Battle cries break the still of the night
The sounds of battle disrupt the quietness of the night.
My demons rise from dust motes under my bed
The singer's inner troubles or personal demons resurface, represented metaphorically as rising from dust motes under the bed.
How slow's the night when you can't get out of your own head
The passage of time feels sluggish when one is trapped in their own thoughts.
So I

pull out of this alright
