Lyrics
I’m up, you’re down, little did I know
I am in a positive situation, while you are in a negative one, and I was unaware of this.
You’ll turn left, I’ll go right, which way should I go?
Our paths diverged, and I'm uncertain about the right direction to take.
Fire burning blazing lights, reaping what we sow //
There is a vivid scene of turmoil and consequences, symbolized by fire and lights, as we face the outcomes of our actions.
How can we, really heal, when facing such a wall?
How can genuine healing occur when confronted with a formidable obstacle or challenge?
Oh oh, oh oh woh
Expressing a melodic refrain or emotional response.
Black or white, left or right, how could I ever know?
The complexity of choices is emphasized, questioning how one can make informed decisions between opposing options.
Then I was, left behind, now I am hiding low
I was left behind in a situation, and now I am in a state of concealment or withdrawal.
Fire burning, blazing lights, reaping what we sow
Reiteration of the intense imagery of fire and lights, underscoring the consequences of our collective actions.
Rarely, have I been, so utterly distraught.
Expressing deep distress or emotional turmoil rarely experienced before.
Big town, how will I ever know,
Pondering the challenges of navigating a large city and the uncertainty of knowing who to trust.
Who I can trust,
Identifying the difficulty of determining trustworthy individuals in a complex environment.
That’s the worst of it all,
The most challenging aspect is not knowing whom to trust.
You were, you were there, hiding
A recognition of someone's presence during a challenging situation, possibly in hiding.
Big town, how the hell will I know,
Continuation of the uncertainty in a large city, questioning the authenticity of individuals.
Who’s the real deal,
Pondering who is genuine and capable of sharing the burdens of life.
Who can I carry the load?
Searching for someone reliable to share the challenges and responsibilities of life.
You were, you were there, hiding
A repetition of someone's presence, possibly in hiding, indicating a continued theme of uncertainty.
Big Town, the friends and foes,
Reflecting on the diverse relationships in a large city, encompassing both friends and foes.
That hang around, out of sight laying low,
Describing the various individuals present, some hidden and keeping a low profile.
You were, you were there, waiting
Reiteration of someone's presence, suggesting a prolonged period of waiting or anticipation.
