Night of the Star Child's Funk
Echoes of Urban Desolation: Night's Funky Reflections
Lyrics
The neighborhood, is battered from the day
The neighborhood is worn out or affected by the events of the day.
My resting place securely locked, where I can stay awake
The singer's secure place for resting is locked, allowing them to stay awake.
Why yesterday, the kids were taken home on the fifteen, yeah
Refers to children being taken home on a particular bus route, the fifteen, possibly without their mothers present due to being stuck in traffic or being late to meetings.
Their mother's couldn't be there
The mothers of these children couldn't be present for them.
'Cause they're stuck in traffic
Explains why the mothers were absent - stuck in traffic.
Late to the meetings
Further elaboration on why the mothers were late: they were late to meetings.
Whoa-oh, can't you feel it in your bones?
An invitation to recognize or sense something deeply felt within oneself.
Oh, don't you feel the same?
Asking if someone else feels the same sensation as described in line 8.
I'm just that loner that can't seem to place
Describes feeling like an outsider unable to understand or connect with dreams and visions.
The dreams and visions
Refers to the dreams and visions that the singer cannot place or comprehend.
Yet all day in my head, I hear them
Despite not understanding, the singer hears these dreams and visions all day long.
Just so out of time, whoa-oh
Feeling disconnected or out of sync with time.
So I, I asked Brady how a garden grows
Asking Brady about gardening techniques using 1500 re-texts (unclear what 're-texts' signify).
With fifteen hundred re-texts
Discussing the application of 1500 're-texts' at the bottom of a gun, possibly metaphorical.
Levied in the bottom of a gun, whoa no
Despite the potential danger or negative connotation, Brady seems unfazed or unaffected.
She doesn't seem to mind it (she doesn't seem to mind it)
Reiterating Brady's indifference or lack of concern about the situation.
Is my salvation and doom in a secret, warm bullet, too?
Questioning if the singer's salvation and downfall lie in a hidden, warm bullet.
That's when rabbits were shoes and not our dangers
Reflecting on a time when rabbits were used for their fur instead of being seen as dangerous creatures.
Come into tune with the fortune and fame
Encouragement to align with wealth and fame or understand its dynamics.
Into a mine scrapped deep of golds and
Going deep into a mined area to discover riches but might face destruction.
We'll drown the ruin in a sea of the sane
Trying to cover or overshadow destruction with normality or sanity.
And I've been trudging in the same two shoes
The singer has been moving forward with difficulty wearing the same shoes metaphorically.
And bet your pretty baby, told me what to do
Suggesting someone close has given advice.
And I'm, looking to shore, just at the moon
The singer is metaphorically looking toward a solution or comfort represented by the moon.
Comfortably my left did, my right one, too
Both the left and right sides are at ease or comfortable.
Oh oh, can't you feel it in your bones?
Similar to line 8, an invitation to feel something deep within.
Oh, don't you feel the same?
A repetition of line 9, asking if others experience the same sensation as described in line 31.
I'm just that loner that can't seem to place those dreams and visions
Reiteration of feeling disconnected or unable to understand dreams and visions.
Yet all day in my head, I hear them
Despite the confusion, the dreams and visions continue to persist in the singer's thoughts.
Just so out of time, and whoa-oh
Reiterating the feeling of being out of sync or disconnected with time.
