Young Glass
Navigating Shadows: Hey Rosetta's Tale of Resilience and Redemption
Lyrics
Long we were searching
After a prolonged search
These serpentine streets for the signs of a spark
Looking for signs of excitement or inspiration in winding streets
Fucking around in the dark
Engaging in random activities in the dark
Then long we were held
For a long time, we were captured or constrained
In the thrum and the desperate heat of the clubs
In the pulsating and intense atmosphere of clubs
Drinking deep from that cup
Immersing deeply in that environment
We'd drink it up
We enthusiastically embraced that experience
Each step was something
Each action or movement held significance
The beat in the blood and the heat in our hands
The rhythm in our blood and the passion in our actions
Of twelve regular men
Referring to regular people, perhaps the mundane
So when we come down cathedral street
Arriving at Cathedral Street exhausted and depleted
Hollow and beaten, to the room that I rent
To the room where I reside, I'll rejuvenate
I'm going back up again
I will regain my energy
I'm going up
I'm moving forward
But while everything is blooming
Despite blossoming circumstances
You know the wilting always waits
There's always the looming threat of decline or decay
To steal away your body, to steal away your brains
To take away your physical and mental well-being
Oh man I hate this part,
Expressing dislike for a particular situation
When the car sails off the bridge
A metaphorical moment of danger or crisis
Am I the knuckles white inside? or am I the water rushing in?
Questioning whether one is tense or relaxed in a challenging situation
Am I rising up?
Am I elevating or improving?
Silent night, holy night
A reference to a traditional hymn, seeking solace or tranquility
Take my eyes, take my mind and lay me down!
Asking to be relieved of perception and consciousness
Oh! sweet winter kiss on these heavy lids!
Desiring a comforting sensation in the cold season
Sweet winter gift of dreamless sleep, lay me down! draw me out!
Seeking uninterrupted rest or relief
No!
Expressing refusal or rejection
Doctor unbandage my eyes
Requesting to have eyes uncovered for exposure to light
I feel the light and I'm ready to be out in it
Feeling prepared and eager to engage with the world
Doctor uncover my ears
Asking to uncover ears to hear emotional expressions
I hear the chorus weeping, I see the people singing:
Witnessing a collective emotional outpouring
Doctor unbandage my eyes
Requesting eyes to be uncovered for readiness to ascend
I feel the light and I'm ready to be rising!
Feeling prepared to rise or improve
Doctor uncover my ears!
Asking to uncover ears again
I hear the chorus weeping! I see the people singing:
Witnessing emotional expression again
Let the loser up.
Suggesting to give a chance to the one who failed
Let's get him up.
Encouraging to help someone who's fallen
