All Lit Up
Embracing Light in Isolation: All Lit Up by Higher Hill
Lyrics
I'm all cooped up
I feel confined or restricted.
Nothin' else to do
There's nothing else to occupy my time.
I've opened a bottle or maybe two
I've opened a bottle of alcohol, perhaps to cope with the situation.
I'm all lit up
I'm emotionally charged or excited.
Before the sun goes down
Expressing a sense of urgency or anticipation before sunset.
Before the sun goes down
-Before the sun goes down
-Kids bein taught at home
Children are being educated at home.
Crammed into our place
Our living space is crowded.
Shelves are empty
Shelves in stores are empty, indicating scarcity or difficult times.
I miss my own space
I miss having my own personal space.
I'm all lit up
Reiterating the heightened emotional state before sunset.
Before the sun goes down
-Before the sun goes down
-Before the sun goes down
-Streamin meetings from home
Attending work meetings online.
Seeing friends on the screen
Connecting with friends through virtual means.
Least the dog is happy
At least the dog is happy, finding joy in small things.
We watch news on TV
Keeping up with current events by watching the news on TV.
I'm all lit up
Reiterating the heightened emotional state and the challenges of virtual interactions.
Before the sun goes down
-I'm all lit up
-Virtual cocktail parties, but my glass is real
-Dressed from the waist up
-Below the belt
-Dare not reveal
Highlighting the need to hide certain aspects or struggles.
Dare not reveal
-Dare not reveal
-This has gone on too long
Expressing frustration that the situation has persisted for too long.
I miss travel and my band
Missing the joys of travel and the camaraderie of the band.
Guess I'll take my comfort
Finding solace or comfort wherever possible.
Where I can
-I'm all lit up
Repeating the sense of heightened emotion and urgency before sunset.
Before the sun goes down
-Before the sun goes down
-Before the sun goes down
-I'm all lit up
Emphasizing the continued state of being emotionally charged or excited.
Before the sun goes down
-I'm all lit up
-All lit up
Affirming the intense emotional state, being "all lit up."
