One Shot In The Darkness
Navigating Shadows: Joshua Hyslop's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Whole stage is set like always
Setting the stage for a situation, possibly a recurring one.
Won't be long before I'm gone
Anticipating a departure or an end, implying a transient nature.
See them coming through the doorway
Observing others entering, creating a sense of arrival or change.
Wonderin' whose side they are on
Curiosity about the allegiances or intentions of newcomers.
So I take one shot in the darkness
Choosing to take a chance or initiative in uncertain circumstances.
And move along
Moving forward despite uncertainties or challenges.
I was on the way to Memphis
Recalling a journey to Memphis with a lack of affection from Caroline.
Got no love from Caroline
Expressing a sense of emotional distance in a relationship.
How much longer can I do this?
Questioning the sustainability of the current path or lifestyle.
Leaving half my heart behind
Leaving behind a significant part of oneself, facing emotional challenges.
It takes one shot in the darkness
Highlighting the potential for a single event to alter perspectives or decisions.
To change my mind
Emphasizing the transformative power of a decisive action in the dark.
And the years are passing by me
Reflecting on the passage of time, acknowledging its inevitable flow.
Oh, the years are running on
Continuing the theme of time passing and its impact on life.
The fire below is coming and it won't be long
Anticipating a challenging situation approaching soon.
Got enough left just to get there
Having just enough resources to reach a destination but unsure about the journey.
Not enough to make it through
Facing limitations and uncertainties in overcoming challenges.
If I cannot live without this
Expressing dependence on a situation, hinting at a dilemma.
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Contemplating the difficulty of living without a particular element.
So I'll take one more shot in the darkness
Deciding to take another risk or initiative in the darkness.
Aim for you
Aiming for a specific goal or person in the metaphorical darkness.
Oh, I'll take one more shot in the darkness
Repeating the willingness to take another chance or make another attempt.
Ooh
Expressing emotion or emphasis, perhaps indicating resolution.
