Lyrics
We chase the sun down the mountain
We are descending from a mountain as the sun sets.
Passenger seat of your car
I'm in the passenger seat of your car.
I watch the light on the water
Observing the reflections of light on the water.
Sink through the bottom, to dark
The light sinks, symbolizing a transition to darkness.
I wonder will they let the stars out
Questioning whether the stars will be visible.
Or will it just swallow them whole
Speculating if the darkness will engulf the stars.
You might have to turn on your headlights
Suggesting the need to turn on headlights for clarity.
But i know you'll find your way home
Confident that you will find your way home.
I've felt this fear for a while now
Expressing a persistent fear that has grown.
Spread out and root like disease
Describing the fear spreading like a disease.
We pass a sign on the corner
Passing a sign indicating a threat to freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech under siege
Highlighting the theme of freedom of speech under attack.
So let's start the war on our silence
Proposing to confront the suppression of speech.
I guess i'll go first if you'd like
Willing to be the first to speak out.
(I can go first if you'd like)
(Reiteration of the willingness to speak out first.)
And then if we wake up tomorrow
Contemplating the consequences if they have to abandon the cause.
And we have to leave this behind
Leaving behind the fight against suppression.
When the sun is finally down
Pondering the next steps as the day ends.
What are we gonna do now?
Raising the question of what to do after the sun sets.
I know you don't have the answer
Acknowledging a lack of answers to the situation.
I know it'd sound dumb if i asked
Aware that seeking answers may sound futile.
Let's just forget all about it
Suggesting to forget about the issue temporarily.
I'll shut up and let the sun pass
Deciding to remain silent and let time pass.
But you know the way to my heart now
Acknowledging understanding of how to connect emotionally.
You tell me you think it's alright
Reassuring that it's okay and comforting to share thoughts.
I know by the end you'll be taller
Anticipating personal growth and resilience.
You'll learn how to sleep through the night
Expecting the ability to overcome challenges and find peace.
