Couldn't Reach The Light
Chasing Shadows of Purpose: Hello Beverly's Musical Journey
Lyrics
Is it Saturday or Monday?
Expressing confusion about the day of the week.
Tell me what's the date
Seeking information about the current date.
Is it anybody's birthday?
Inquiring if it's someone's birthday.
I'm tryna find my purpose in this life
Searching for the purpose in life.
But first let's go out one more night
Proposing to go out for one more night before addressing life's purpose.
I made a nuisance of myself last night
Admitting to causing trouble the previous night.
I'd take it back but you were fine
Expressing a desire to retract actions but acknowledging the other person's attractiveness.
I hardly said goodbye
Not saying a proper goodbye.
You bite your lip
Describing a physical gesture, biting the lip.
Those looks would stab me like a knife
Acknowledging the impact of intense looks.
You were lonely
Stating the other person's loneliness.
But I'm alright
Personal assurance of well-being.
Last time I checked
Confirming a previous check or assessment.
I couldn't reach the light
Expressing an inability to reach enlightenment or clarity.
I think we had a fun day
Recalling a day characterized as enjoyable.
Even your Dad liked me
Claiming approval from the partner's father.
And you said he's hard to please
Stating the father's hard-to-please nature.
He's hard to please
Reiterating the difficulty in pleasing the father.
You spent most your time
Noticing the partner's focus on online presence.
Posting picture up online
Describing the act of sharing experiences through online pictures.
Tryna show people where we've been
Expressing a desire for direct attention.
I wish you'd just, I wish you'd just
Repeating the wish for the partner to look directly.
I wish you'd just look at me
Yearning for direct eye contact.
Internet connection
Commenting on the impact of internet connection on perception.
Spoils our logical perception
Highlighting the distortion of logical perception by the internet.
Where to focus our attention
Questioning where attention is directed amidst objections.
All on his or hers objections
Pointing to objections and distractions from individual perspectives.
Look up from my device to see you
Transitioning from a device to observing the partner in person.
Standing here in front of me
Expressing surprise or appreciation for the partner's physical presence.
What a way to pass the time
Reflecting on the partner's presence as a way to spend time.
Please don't lose the reality
Advising not to lose touch with reality amidst technological distractions.
Here!
Calling attention to the present moment.
Woo!
Expressing enthusiasm or excitement.
Oh no-no-no-no
Repeating a scenario of causing trouble but appreciating the partner's attractiveness.
No-no-no-no-no
-I made a nuisance of myself last night
-I'd take it back but you were fine
-I hardly said goodbye
-You bite your lip
Reiterating the impact of the partner's looks.
Those looks would stab me like a knife
Comparing the partner's looks to a stabbing sensation.
You were lonely
Acknowledging the partner's loneliness.
But I'm alright
Reassuring personal well-being.
Last time I checked
Confirming a previous check or assessment.
I couldn't reach the light
Expressing an inability to reach enlightenment or clarity.
No I couldn't reach the light
Repeating the inability to reach the light, metaphorical for understanding or fulfillment.
Now stop for a moment
-Why do I feel so sad?
-You've got me singing
-Dry your eyes mate
-Every time you don't come back
-Why'd you have to go?
-Now I'm lonely
-But you're alright
-Last time I checked
-I couldn't reach the light
-I couldn't reach the light
-I couldn't reach the light
-Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
-I couldn't reach the light
-I couldn't reach the light
-Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
-I couldn't reach the light
-I couldn't reach the light
-Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
-I couldn't reach the light
-I couldn't reach the light
Final repetition of the inability to reach the light.
