Sometimes There's Lightning
Chasing Storms of the Soul: Matt Deighton's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Walking on the beaches
Engaging in a seaside stroll
Head towards the sun
Heading towards a positive direction or goal
Kids in gangs together
Children forming groups by the shore
Along the sea they run
Running along the sea
You and I are dreaming
Both individuals are envisioning an elevated and dreamlike existence
Of living in the sky
Imagining living in the sky
We walk upon the rainbows
Metaphorically walking on rainbows
The bridge that opens wide
Referring to a wide-opening bridge symbolically
Sometimes there’s lightning or is it in my mind?
Questioning whether the observed lightning is real or a mental perception
When two clouds crash together
Describing the collision of clouds
And thunder fills the sky
Thunderstorm creating a dramatic atmosphere
Will it pass us by?
Uncertain if the storm will affect them
Seems like we’ve been talking
Expressing communication without actual words
But no words have been heard
A sense of silence or unspoken words
The sun hides on the hillside
Sunset and the return of night
And evening has returned
Implies the end of the day
You and I are drinking
Sharing a moment of relaxation and enjoyment
Easing in the night
Relaxing in the night
But what goes on between us
Challenges in their relationship
Cannot turn on the light
Unable to confront or resolve the issues
Sometimes there’s lightning or is it in my mind?
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the lightning
When two clouds crash together
Repeating the imagery of clouds colliding
And thunder fills the sky
Repeating the intensity of the thunderstorm
Will it pass us by?
Questioning whether the storm will affect them personally
When we lay down our day is done
Symbolizing the end of their daily activities
Goodbye waves, goodnight sun
Saying farewell to the day and its warmth
When we lay down our day’s complete
Completing the day's events
This storm has passed and we will sleep
Indicating the passing of a metaphorical storm and the prospect of rest
Sometimes there’s lightning or is it in my mind?
Reiteration of the uncertainty about the lightning, adding a sense of repetition
When two clouds crash together
Repeating the image of clouds colliding, emphasizing the intensity
And thunder fills the sky
Repeating the impact of thunder, maintaining the dramatic atmosphere
Will it pass us by?
Questioning if the storm will pass without affecting them
