It's a Funny Thing
Unraveling Shadows: Jets Overhead's Poetic Reflection on Lost Faith
Lyrics
It's a funny thing
Expressing the peculiar nature of a situation or feeling.
When you lose your faith
When one loses belief or trust in something.
In a grand design
Refers to a master plan or overarching purpose.
Like a flickering
Comparing the uncertain situation to a flickering light on a screen.
On a backlit screen
Describing thoughts cast in darkness or uncertainty.
Shadowed thoughts arrive
Continuation of the theme of uncertain and shadowed thoughts.
Starlight
Referencing starlight, possibly as a metaphor for hope or guidance.
In the dead of night
Symbolizing challenges or difficulties faced during the darkest times.
Takes the towers down
Implies the collapse or downfall of established structures.
Sure sign
Indicating a clear indication or signal.
That the plan devised
Suggesting that the plan was formulated from unknown origins.
Came from nothing known
Emphasizing that the plan had no prior recognition or awareness.
These nights fall through glass
Nights passing through glass symbolize the passage of time and introspection.
Her eyes make the man
Suggesting that a person's character is defined by their partner's eyes.
Trees lean
Trees leaning over empty streets evoke a desolate or abandoned scene.
Over empty streets
Empty streets reinforce a sense of abandonment or desolation.
As the power goes
Power outage as a metaphor for a loss of control or influence.
No sign
Indicating the absence of a valuable or precious element.
Of a pearl inside
Dealing a significant and impactful blow.
Deals a crushing blow
Resulting in a devastating setback.
You realize
Realization that positive aspects can cast cold or negative shadows.
That the sunny side
Highlighting the contrast between positive and negative perspectives.
Made the shadows cold
Positive aspects casting chilling shadows.
Pedals fold
Symbolizing the closing or withdrawal of something.
Waiting for the rise
Waiting for a new beginning or a positive change.
Of another sky
Anticipation of a new and different future.
These nights fall through glass
Repetition of the theme of nights passing through glass.
Her eyes make the man
Reiteration of the impact of a person's eyes on defining character.
Said I won't look back
Affirmation of moving forward without dwelling on the past.
Starlight in the dead of night
Repeating the symbolism of starlight in challenging times.
Eyes wide in the dead of night
Wide-eyed awareness or vigilance during difficult moments.
These nights fall through glass
Reiteration of nights passing through glass and defining gazes.
Her eyes make the man
Reaffirmation of the impact of a person's eyes on defining character.
Said I won't look back
Confirmation of not dwelling on or being bound by the past.
These eyes too will pass
Emphasizing the transient nature of challenging moments.
