Morning Is a Long Way Down
Embrace the Night's Struggle: Morning's Descent into Vulnerability
Lyrics
Wrap your arms around me
Seeking comfort and closeness in an embrace
And hold me close to your light
Desiring to be held close to a source of illumination or guidance
I'm too weak for flying tonight
Feeling emotionally or physically vulnerable, not ready for challenges
I've been running all nighttime
Engaged in constant movement, possibly avoiding something
Trying to hide from the hounds
Attempting to escape or avoid pursuing troubles
And morning is a long way down
Anticipating a difficult and distant future (morning)
I was always the strongest
Reflecting on a past self, emphasizing strength and speed
So young and so fast
Recalling a youthful belief in the permanence of certain conditions
I was always sure that it would last
Realizing the impermanence of assumed certainty
And now I'm stuck here at midnight
Feeling trapped or stuck in a challenging situation at midnight
And there's cliffs all around
Surrounded by obstacles or dangers symbolized by cliffs
And morning is a long way down
Emphasizing the daunting distance to the morning or resolution
I never ask the hard questions
Avoiding difficult or profound inquiries in life
I never try to transform
Resisting personal growth or change
I was always just waiting to be born
Passively waiting for significant life events to happen
But now the sun's tied with night-chains
Comparing the sun's entanglement with night to Prometheus bound
Like Prometheus, bound
Feeling constrained or restricted like the mythological figure
And morning is a long way down
Reiterating the distance and difficulty of reaching morning
So wrap your arms around me
Repeating the desire for comforting closeness through an embrace
And hold me close to your light
Reiterating the desire to be held close to a guiding light
I'm too weak for flying tonight
Reiterating vulnerability and the need for emotional support
But I don't care about nighttime
Expressing indifference towards the challenges of the night
Or the light that is gone
Acknowledging the absence of light or positivity
If you'll just hold me 'til dawn
Seeking solace in the companionship until the arrival of dawn
