LA night
LA Night Echoes: A Melancholic Journey through Dreams and Struggles
Lyrics
caught up
Feeling emotionally entangled or constrained
tied down
Feeling restricted or limited
who am i?
An existential question about self-identity
we float
Experiencing a state of drifting or being unanchored
we drown
Feeling overwhelmed or submerged
who am i?
An ongoing inquiry about personal identity
we're crossed
Encountering challenges or obstacles
we're crowned
Achieving success or recognition
who am i?
A recurring introspection about one's self
we sing
Expressing through music
we cry
Displaying emotions of sorrow or distress
who am i?
An ongoing contemplation about self-identity
we just got burned up by the light
Feeling overwhelmed or affected by intense exposure
we just got told that the future of a star aint bright
Receiving discouraging news about the future
burned up by the light
Feeling overwhelmed or affected by intense exposure (reiteration)
and all our dreams turned to ashes in the LA night
Realization that aspirations have turned to disappointment or failure
been broken down before
Having experienced previous emotional breakdowns
so i know this feeling well
Familiarity with the sensation of feeling broken or shattered
im sure that you do too
Assumption that others might relate to this feeling
ooh
An interjection expressing emotion
i remember i was in my ford focus
Recollection of a specific memory involving a Ford Focus car
so focused
Being deeply engrossed or concentrated on something
parked on sunset blvd
Location reference - Sunset Boulevard
just for the vibe
Being present for the ambiance or atmosphere
just writing songs
Engaged in creative activities like songwriting
dancing lights
Observing vibrant and lively lights
dancing girls
Observing energetic and lively individuals
outside im in my own world
Feeling disconnected from the outside world
searching, searching inspiration
Actively seeking inspiration or ideas
leaning on my melanation
Reliance on one's own racial or ethnic background for support
but im too dark
Receiving criticism about physical appearance
and too short
Being judged based on physical attributes
thats what they said in new york
Encountering prejudice or bias in a different location (New York)
now im here i took a different route
Having taken a different path despite challenges
but its politics as usual
Experiencing typical challenges within an industry
never sneakers
Emphasizing a preference for formal attire
always heels
Adjusting behavior to fit expectations for success
on my tippy toes for a record deal
Striving or reaching for a music contract
and thats too real and thats too wrong
Expressing the reality of the situation
it took so long
Expressing the prolonged duration of struggles
