So Hi So Long
Elevated Echoes: Embracing Freedom Beyond Boundaries
Lyrics
I woke up today with a sunbeam alive on my brow
Waking up with a sense of warmth and vitality, represented metaphorically by a sunbeam on the brow.
Quarter to twelve o'clock; half past a once solemn vow
Reflecting on the passage of time and the fading commitment to a promise made previously.
The warmth of your waist on my forearm; the purr of your snore
Feeling the physical closeness and comfort of a loved one, noticed by the touch and sound of their presence.
I'll never be sure how I got here but hell I want more
Expressing a desire for more of the uncertain path that led to the present moment.
I've been riding so high for so far and so long
Continuing a journey marked by elation and elevation, possibly metaphorical, indicating a state of emotional or experiential height.
Staring down at the city and the meaningless throng
Observing the world below, perceiving it as lacking significance or purpose.
Inspecting the boundaries, the sensible guidelines and rules
Examining societal norms and regulations, suggesting a rebellion against conventional expectations.
Learning that those with their feet on the ground are just fools
Realization that those who conform to societal standards are perceived as lacking insight or understanding.
I've been breathing your name and digesting your voice
Obsessively thinking about someone, their presence dominating thoughts and actions despite the absence of options.
Everything seems the same but I don't have a choice
Feeling a sense of stagnation or lack of change despite the persistence of thoughts about someone.
Some people speak of a time when their minds were set free
Reference to others recalling a time of liberation in their minds, contrasting this with the struggle for survival, represented by financial difficulty.
But scrounging for nickels and dimes washes minds out to sea
Suggesting that the struggle for basic needs overshadows or eradicates the ability to experience mental freedom.
I've been riding so high for so far and so long
Reiteration of the feeling of emotional or experiential elevation, disconnected from the mundane world below.
Staring down at the cities and the meaningless throng
Reiterating the perception of the world below as insignificant or lacking purpose.
Inspecting the boundaries, the sensible guidelines and rules
Continued contemplation of societal norms and guidelines, possibly implying a rejection or skepticism towards them.
Learning that those with their feet on the ground are just fools
Reiteration that those adhering to societal norms are perceived as lacking deeper understanding.
The sun's going down and the moon is still laughing out loud
Observing the passage of time with the setting sun and the moon's presence, possibly indicating a shift in perspective.
At those who convince themselves that they're not part of the crowd
Commenting on people who distance themselves from the majority, hinting at a skeptical view of this separation.
I'm watching that man in the moon start to creep through the sky
Watching the moon's movement, likening it to being watched while performing, possibly hinting at a self-awareness or acknowledgment of an audience.
Watching me sing on this song like I'm waving goodbye
Comparing singing a song to bidding farewell, possibly suggesting the end of a phase or a departure.
I've been riding so high for so far and so long
Repetition of the feeling of elevated emotions or experiences, detached from the mundane world.
Staring down at the cities and the meaningless throng
Reiterating the perception of the world below as insignificant or lacking purpose.
Inspecting the boundaries, the sensible guidelines and rules
Continued contemplation or questioning of societal norms and regulations.
Learning that those with their feet on the ground are just fools
Reiteration that those adhering to societal norms are perceived as lacking deeper understanding.
