Light Me In Red
Embracing the Aching Divide: Isaac Anderson's Red Revelation
Lyrics
Light me in red and open my eyes
Expressing a desire to be illuminated in red, metaphorically asking for clarity and understanding.
Light me in red and open my eyes
Repetition of the request for enlightenment and openness, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
I don't wanna fall through this aching divide
Expressing reluctance to experience emotional pain and a desire to avoid a profound separation.
So light me in red and open my eyes
Reiteration of the plea for illumination and openness, highlighting the importance of avoiding emotional disconnection.
Light me in red and open my eyes
Continued emphasis on the need for clarity and understanding through the use of red light.
Tell me the truth, are we gonna survive?
Questioning the potential survival of a situation, possibly a challenging or critical moment in life.
The doors have all closed on our runaway nights
Describing the closure of opportunities or options during nights of escape or rebellion.
And I'm starting to get what forgotten is like
Realizing the feeling of being forgotten and acknowledging the challenges of such a state.
But I know that I'm paying a reasonable price
Acknowledging the cost of dealing with the situation but accepting it as reasonable.
A solitary blip in a comfortable life
Describing oneself as a minor disruption in a comfortable life, possibly feeling insignificant.
A priority seat - neither earned, nor denied
Reflecting on having a priority status without deserving or being denied it.
So light me in red and open my eyes
Repeating the plea for illumination, suggesting a persistent need for clarity.
It's obvious
Stating an observation that certain universal plans are often not understood by individuals.
The universe's plans are often lost on us
Expressing a loss of faith and trust in the unfolding events.
We're losing faith
Acknowledging the repetition of losing faith and trust, emphasizing its significance.
We're losing trust, yeah
Stressing the importance of expressing a sentiment repeatedly.
And I could never say it enough
Repetition of the plea for red light, expressing shame about one's identity.
So light me in red, I'm ashamed of my skin
Acknowledging personal advantages and privileges in terms of gender, race, class, and kinship.
I know for a fact that I'm set up to win
Acknowledging a sense of perspective regarding personal problems in the larger context of life.
My gender, my race and my 'class' and my kin
Describing the harsh reality of existence, acknowledging its cruelty and immediacy.
My problems are nil in the grand scheme of things
Expressing confusion about the circumstances but understanding the process of change.
Oh it's real, and it's cruel, and it's here, and it's now
Highlighting the difficulty of challenging established norms and systems.
I don't understand, but I understand how
Emphasizing the absence of room for apathy or neutrality in the current era.
You can't rewrite the rules without tearing a page
Making a commitment to keep an emotional and mental openness until death.
No room for indifference in this day and age
Expressing a determination to step away from emotional separation and division.
So from here on, a promise I'll keep 'til I die
Reiterating the commitment to be supportive and loyal.
To open my heart, and to open my mind
Repetition of the plea for red light, underscoring the ongoing need for clarity.
Step back from the edge of the aching divide
Repetition emphasizing the importance of being enlightened and avoiding emotional division.
To stand by your side, to stand by your side
Committing to standing by someone's side, reinforcing the loyalty expressed earlier.
So light me in red and open my eyes
Repetition of the plea for red light, maintaining the urgency of the request.
Light me in red and open my eyes
Continued emphasis on the need for clarity and understanding through the use of red light.
Light me in red and open my eyes
