A Cleaner Light
Unveiling Life's Shadows: A Cleaner Light by Kristin Hersh
Lyrics
A high
A state of euphoria or intense emotion
That's a swell take on this situation
Positive perspective on the current situation
I was trying to rectify
Attempt to make things right
I was trying to skip out on this high
Trying to avoid or escape the intense emotional state
Keep away from the freaks on the fringe
Avoiding people who are considered unconventional or outside the norm
They only talk to you
Unconventional individuals approach and communicate with the speaker
'Cause you give them a good excuse to cry
These unconventional individuals talk to the speaker because it provides them with a reason to cry
But in a cleaner light, it's ok
In a clearer understanding or perspective, the situation is acceptable
In a cleaner light, it's ok
Reiteration that in a clearer understanding or perspective, the situation is acceptable
In a better light, it's ok
In a brighter or improved understanding, the situation is acceptable
In a better light, it's ok
Reiteration that in a brighter or improved understanding, the situation is acceptable
This strange old sunshine beats me senseless
The intense sunlight is overwhelming and disorienting
But it's supposed to be keeping me healthy
The intense sunlight is claimed to have health benefits, but the speaker considers it a lie
It's a lie
Assertion that the claimed benefits of the sunlight are not true
You're a strange old thing that keeps me senseless
The speaker is kept in a state of confusion by something strange
But you're supposed to be keeping me company
That strange thing is supposed to provide companionship
But in a cleaner light, it's ok
In a clearer understanding or perspective, the situation with the strange thing is acceptable
In a cleaner light, it's ok
Reiteration that in a clearer understanding or perspective, the situation with the strange thing is acceptable
In a better light, it's ok
In a brighter or improved understanding, the situation with the strange thing is acceptable
In a better light, it's ok
Reiteration that in a brighter or improved understanding, the situation with the strange thing is acceptable
I wake up feeling fragile
Waking up with a sense of vulnerability or fragility
It's nothing the TV couldn't cure
Belief that watching TV can alleviate the vulnerability or fragility
Or lying here for my whole life
Alternatively, spending the entire life lying down could alleviate the vulnerability or fragility
But in a cleaner light, it's ok
In a clearer understanding or perspective, the vulnerability or fragility is acceptable
In a cleaner light, it's ok
Reiteration that in a clearer understanding or perspective, the vulnerability or fragility is acceptable
In a better light, it's ok
In a brighter or improved understanding, the vulnerability or fragility is acceptable
In a better light, it's ok
Reiteration that in a brighter or improved understanding, the vulnerability or fragility is acceptable
They only talk to you 'cause you're there
Reiteration that unconventional individuals talk to the speaker only because the speaker is present
