Dim the Lights
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Meaning in Josh Bolin's 'Dim the Lights'
Lyrics
Write up all the news I had about you
Reflecting on information or updates related to the person in question.
I'll do the same things as I like
Expressing freedom to do things according to personal preferences.
The big reel's asleep on the berm
Describing a state of rest or inactivity, possibly a metaphor for stagnation.
The old book deepens inside
Suggesting the accumulation of experiences or memories.
But I can't quite what helped me draw the lines
Struggling to articulate the factors that guided decision-making.
Sleep all day
Emphasizing a desire or tendency to sleep extensively during the day.
Sleep all night
Reiterating a pattern of prolonged sleep during nighttime.
Lock those doors and dim these lights
Symbolizing a retreat from the outside world by locking doors and dimming lights.
I could keep the same
Contemplating maintaining the status quo in certain aspects of life.
Keep on just fine
Confidently continuing without significant disruptions.
But that won't keep the days behind
Acknowledging that continuity doesn't erase the passage of time.
Light up all the news I had about you
Revisiting and illuminating past information or memories related to the person.
Feed the same things as I dine
Symbolic act of consuming or processing experiences similar to dining.
The big reel's asleep on the berm
Repetition of the idea of stagnation, possibly emphasizing a lack of progress.
The old book deepens inside
Reiteration of the depth of personal experiences or emotions.
But I can't quite what helped me draw the lines
Reemphasizing the difficulty in articulating the guiding factors in decisions.
Sleep all day
Repetition of the desire for extended periods of sleep during the day.
Sleep all night
Reiterating the pattern of prolonged sleep during nighttime.
Lock those doors and dim these lights
Reemphasizing the retreat from the outside world through locked doors and dim lights.
I could keep the same
Reconsidering the option of maintaining the status quo.
Keep on just fine
Reaffirming the ability to continue without significant disruptions.
But that won't keep the days behind
Highlighting the inevitability of time passing despite continuity.
Sleep all day
Reiteration of the desire for extended periods of sleep during the day.
Sleep all night
Reaffirming the pattern of prolonged sleep during nighttime.
Lock those doors and dim these lights
Reemphasizing the retreat from the outside world through locked doors and dim lights.
I could keep the same
Reconsidering the option of maintaining the status quo.
Keep on just fine
Reaffirming the ability to continue without significant disruptions.
But that won't keep the days behind
Reiterating that continuity doesn't prevent the passage of time.
