Lyrics
New kid on the block takes the light and steals their hearts
Newcomer gains attention and captures their affection.
Old disc on the box, this is where I bow out to the night
Referring to an old music record, the artist decides to step back from the limelight and embrace the night.
Old sense washed away by a new tide unveiled
The artist's old perceptions are replaced by a new wave of change.
Burnt out in the sun, this is where I bow out to the night
Exhausted or burnt out in the sunlight, the artist chooses to bow out and embrace the night.
Waking up to heavy rain and the smell of smoke outside
Awakening to rain and the scent of smoke, the artist faces challenges symbolized by a stalled spare wheel, signifying the end of a journey.
A spare wheel that stopped, this is where the road ends in the night
The road comes to an end, possibly indicating a life phase concluding.
Do you see me flitting from one idea to the next?
The artist questions their scattered thoughts and lack of focus, searching for direction.
Looking for a trail, this is where I bow out to the night
In search of a path, the artist decides to bow out to the night.
This is where I bow out
A decisive moment of departure.
And surrender to God above
An expression of surrender to a higher power, possibly indicating a spiritual aspect.
When the world just slips away from me
Feeling detached from the world, a moment of retreat.
And the light is banished to the dark, silent sea
Metaphorically, the light is overshadowed by darkness, a shift from clarity to obscurity.
Getting out of city noise, I leave it all behind
Leaving the chaos of the city, abandoning it for a quieter life.
Moving underground, this is where I sink down out of sight
Descending into obscurity, away from public view or attention.
Do you see me wondering where to go from here?
The artist reflects on uncertainty, contemplating the next steps.
Looking for a trail, this is where I bow out
Searching for direction, the artist decides to withdraw from the scene.
This is where I bow out
A repetition emphasizing the artist's firm decision to step back.
And surrender to God above
Reiterating the surrender to a higher power, suggesting a sense of acceptance.
When the world just slips away from me
Repetition of detachment from the world, seeking solace in solitude.
And the light is banished to the dark, silent sea
Continuation of the metaphorical transition from light to darkness and silence.
