Stars Are Aligning
Chasing Dreams as Stars Align: Lia Nxieta's Night Drive Anthem
Lyrics
It is one of these nights
Expressing a sense that tonight is special or unique.
Got to get out and drive
Feeling the need to go out and drive.
If I don't I might die
Emphasizing the urgency to drive, suggesting a strong emotional state.
Yea this life's way too crazy
Commenting on the chaotic nature of life.
Out of my mind
Feeling overwhelmed and losing mental stability.
No I'm not going to cry
Asserting a decision not to cry despite the challenges.
Hit the gas like I'm wild
Accelerating like a wild or reckless driver.
There's no one here to save me
Recognizing a lack of external help or support.
Speed it up
Repetition emphasizing the desire to increase speed.
Speed it up
-Speed it up
-It's all I need to slow me down
Speeding up is a coping mechanism to find a moment of calm.
Slow me down
Repeating the need to slow down, possibly conflicting emotions.
Slow me down
-I'm about to speed it up
Repetition highlighting the imminent acceleration.
Speed it up
-Speed it up
-It's all I need to slow me down
Reiterating the need to slow down, emphasizing internal conflict.
Hold it down
Expressing a sense of being fully committed or exposed.
Hold it out
-I am all the way out
-All the way through these soul scapes
Acknowledging a challenging situation with no escape.
I am all the way out
-And I know there's no escaping
-So I'm chasing my dreams hoping that time won't run out
Pursuing dreams with a fear of time running out.
Cuz the stars are aligning
Highlighting a moment of cosmic alignment or serendipity.
Watch them aligning
-I am close to your block
Proximity to someone important, possibly a last resort.
Could show up at your door
-You are my last resort
-Yea this life's way too crazy
Reiterating the chaotic nature of life.
I call your phone
Attempting to connect with someone via phone communication.
Wait up until the tone
-Switch the flight mode back on
-Only I'm here to save me
Self-reliance and the acknowledgment of personal responsibility.
I don't know where I should go
Feeling lost and relying on emotions to guide the way.
Gotta let my heart take over
-Trying to find my way home
-Put my brain on autopilot
Using autopilot mode to navigate without overthinking.
When did this city turn into nothing but an empty love drought
Reflecting on the city losing its enchantment, questioning personal fault.
All of the magic is gone, can not tell if it was my fault
-Speed it up
Repetition of the need to speed up and slow down, indicating internal conflict.
Speed it up
-Speed it up
-It's all I need to slow me down
-Slow me down
-Slow me down
-I'm about to speed it up
-Speed it up
-Speed it up
-It's all I need to slow me down
-Hold it down
Reiteration of being fully exposed or committed, with no escape.
Hold it out
-I am all the way out
-All the way through these soul scapes
-I am all the way out
-And I know there's no escaping
-So I'm chasing my dreams hoping that time won't run out
Continued pursuit of dreams despite the fear of time running out.
Cuz the stars are aligning
-Watch them aligning
Reaffirming the cosmic alignment, observing the stars aligning.
I am all the way out
Repetition of being fully exposed or committed, with no escape.
All the way through these soul scapes
-I am all the way out
-And I know there's no escaping
-So I'm chasing my dreams hoping that time won't run out
-Cuz the stars are aligning
-Watch them aligning
Final affirmation of the cosmic alignment, watching the stars align.
