Espresso and 7
Dancing on the Precipice: Lost Decades' Tale of Embers and Endings
Lyrics
Whatever happened to those nights
Reflecting on past nights and events
Watching boroughs burn
Recalling moments of chaos or destruction
Nights turn to nights turn
Continuation of the reflection on passing time
The smell of sulfur
Evoking a sense of danger or turmoil
High on fumes
Being intoxicated or influenced by a powerful experience
It smells like trouble
Suggesting that trouble has a distinct scent
But it tastes of you
Connecting trouble to a personal experience or relationship
I'm dancing on the precipice of now
Being on the edge of the present moment
Singing to make it through somehow
Using singing as a coping mechanism
I'm gonna be alright
Expressing hope for temporary well-being
Just for tonight
Emphasizing the desire for a brief respite
On the ashes of before
Building upon the remains of the past
Wishing there was something more
Longing for something more meaningful
Than what lay, lays in store
Questioning the value of what the future holds
Bottles clatter, drinks flow
Describing a scene of chaos with clattering bottles
Nothing matters
Emphasizing the insignificance of current actions
No one, no one knows
Feeling a sense of isolation or detachment
Living at the end of an empire
Living in a time of decline or decay
For every moment we expire
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of moments
For better friends the bitter end
Recognizing the importance of true friendships
We die again
Facing mortality or the end of something
I'm dancing on the precipice of now
Reiterating the precariousness of the current moment
Singing to make it through, make it through somehow
Using singing as a means of overcoming challenges
I'm gonna be alright
Expressing confidence in temporary well-being
If only for tonight
Highlighting the transient nature of the assurance
On the ashes of before
Building upon the remnants of the past again
Wishing there was something more
Expressing a desire for a more fulfilling existence
Than what lays, lays in store
Repeating the skepticism about what the future holds
