Amsterdam
Chasing Clarity: Amsterdam's Revelations
Lyrics
I know this place
Feeling familiar with the surroundings or situation
A floating home sat quietly
Describing a dwelling that is peacefully afloat
Drifting gently, tethered to nothing
Slowly moving without being tied to anything
But stays in one place always
Despite drifting, it remains in the same location consistently
So I took its advice
Acting on the advice of the floating home
I sat for a while and just closed my eyes
Taking a moment to relax and reflect with closed eyes
She came by way of warmer Los Angeles
A person, possibly a she, arrived from warmer Los Angeles
But now the chase is played and meaningless It seems I leave just to miss what I left
Expressing that the pursuit has become pointless and lacking meaning, realizing the tendency to miss what was left behind
Please take me to Amsterdam
Expressing a desire to go to Amsterdam
So I can retrace my steps
Wanting to retrace steps in Amsterdam
So I can lead with my left
Emphasizing a desire to lead with the left, possibly metaphorical
With my right around you
Expressing a desire to be close with both left and right sides
There is no right without you
Stating the importance of the person mentioned in the context
Birds fly upward with such hurry
Describing birds flying upwards hastily
Don't worry, no don't worry
Encouraging not to worry
Like little ghosts of me they roam
Comparing oneself to ghosts, indicating a sense of loneliness
All alone, yeah all alone
Reiterating a feeling of being alone
To ignore is impossible
Stating that ignoring the situation is not possible
Her hair lights up everything
Highlighting the impact of "her" presence on everything
Get me to Amsterdam
Reiterating the desire to go to Amsterdam
Where she cuts right through the grey
Describing Amsterdam as a place where "she" stands out in the dullness
And I now know exactly what to say
Expressing confidence in knowing what to say in Amsterdam
Get me to Amsterdam
Repeating the desire to go to Amsterdam
