Lyrics
Waiting in the dark time ticks slowly
Waiting in a dark time where time passes slowly.
Stroking strings all along my neck
Playing guitar strings along the neck, creating a sensory experience.
Whispers coming through the red veil
Receiving subtle messages or insights through a metaphorical red veil.
Those restless feelings now are back
Feelings of restlessness have returned.
I longed to hear your steps down the hall
Anticipation for the sound of footsteps in the hallway.
Your first clap through silence sounding off the wall
The first sound breaking silence, a clap, echoing off the wall.
Treading into limelight is all I ever do
Continually stepping into the spotlight, possibly a metaphor for pursuing a path.
Now I'm on my way, I'm on my long walk to you
Embarking on a journey, a long walk towards someone.
My long walk to you
Repetition of the idea of a long walk to emphasize the journey.
Standing back here nothing can be heard
Being in a place where nothing is audible.
Hoping for that first word to rise
Hopeful anticipation for the first spoken word to emerge.
I sing a prayer for my boiling blood
Expressing a prayer for intense emotions, symbolized by boiling blood.
And for the sweat blinding my eyes
Acknowledging physical strain with sweat blinding the eyes.
Here storytellers long for your faces in the crowd
Storytellers yearning for recognition in the audience.
For perhaps our last chance we could stand tall and proud
Seeking one last chance to stand proudly for dreams.
For the dreams in the eyes of old souls and new
Dreams seen in the eyes of both old and new souls.
Yes, I'm on my way, I'm on my long walk to you
Continuing the journey, reaffirming the commitment to the long walk.
My long walk to you
Reiteration of the theme of the long walk to emphasize perseverance.
As I'm fading out of time it all just slips away
Fading out of time, suggesting a sense of transience.
Tonight my pain and troubles are forbidden here to stay
Expressing that pain and troubles are not allowed to persist tonight.
As I'm walking up the steps to put on my own late night show
Ascending steps to present a late-night performance.
It takes just one look and you know
Emphasizing the impact of a single look in a performance.
There's only here there's only now
Highlighting the significance of the present moment.
There's only here there's only now...
Repetition emphasizing the exclusivity of the current moment.
Well, I made it through, it's been a long walk to you
Successfully completing the long walk, reaching the destination.
