Night Doves
Night Doves: Chasing Shadows in the City of Secrets
Lyrics
Have you ever wandered around this town
Reflecting on aimless wandering in the town.
When the night comes sooner than it should
Observing the early onset of night.
I saw her pretty face disappear in a blink
Recalling a moment when someone attractive vanished quickly.
I don't really wanna smoke more of this shit
Expressing a desire to avoid further intoxication.
You think you saw something there
Addressing uncertainty about what was perceived.
Please don't fall down on your knee
Cautioning against a potential stumble or mistake.
Cause you gonna trip
Warning about the consequences of tripping.
We just love all of her tricks
Acknowledging appreciation for someone's skills or charms.
She wants to feed every time
Describing a recurring desire for sustenance.
Every fucking time
Emphasizing the persistence of the desire.
But there's no choice
Acknowledging a lack of alternatives or options.
We will never be this great
Expressing a belief that greatness is unattainable.
We'll never be this dead again
Conveying a sense of finality or irreversible decline.
I should have told you I don't belong here
Regretting not communicating a sense of not belonging.
Before you know I'll be alright
Expressing optimism about overcoming challenges.
I fear the downfall more than anything
Fearing a downfall more than anything else.
I'll call your name when I'm in hell
Pledging to remember someone in difficult times.
Let's stay up tonight
Proposing to stay awake throughout the night.
Why can't I stay with you and watch the world burn
Questioning the inability to share a destructive experience.
If I lay next to you
Imagining being in close proximity during a significant event.
I would be the ashtray again
Comparing oneself to an ashtray, possibly feeling used or discarded.
