Night Sweats
Nocturnal Reflections: Maddie Storvold's Night Sweats Unveiled
Lyrics
So I wonder to myself where does the present start
Contemplating the beginning of the present moment
Empty pocket, empty wallet, & an empty heart
Expressing financial and emotional emptiness
Looking backwards is easier these days
Reflecting on the ease of looking backward in comparison to facing the present
Than lookin' on
Preferential difficulty in facing the current situation
Take a wander through the city where my mom was born
Visiting the city of the singer's mother's birth
Buy a coffee, buy a donut, smell the coming storm
Engaging in simple pleasures before anticipating a storm
Read the headline then toss the paper away
Reading headlines and disregarding the news
I got these night sweats
Repeated expression of experiencing night sweats
Night sweats
-I got these night sweats
-Night sweats
-There's the president parading on the CNN
Observing the president on the news
Little red hands wipe his forehead every now and then
Symbolic description of the president's anxiety, wiping his forehead
Does he kneel and say a prayer each night?
Questioning if the president prays at night
Does he have night sweats?
Repetition of the singer's inquiry about the president having night sweats
Night sweats
-Night sweats
-Night sweats
-Well it comes to me in the middle of my sleep
Receiving a revelation during sleep
And all I want is something I can keep
Expressing a desire for something lasting
Like night sweats
Reiteration of experiencing night sweats during sleep
Night sweats
-Night sweats
-Night sweats
