Detroit Waves
Detroit Waves: A Symphony of Love and Loss
Lyrics
So, we let it go to start again
Starting anew by letting go of the past.
Knowing now how all our best intentions
Acknowledging that good intentions may not always have significant impact.
Never lit the world on fire
Realizing that their efforts did not create a substantial impact on the world.
Lights, illuminate the exit signs
Exit signs providing guidance and clarity in the darkness.
And over the wings the skies an open endless sea
The vast openness of the sky symbolizing possibilities and opportunities.
Crowding up surrounding me
Feeling surrounded and overwhelmed by circumstances.
And all, Detroit waves
Reference to emotional waves associated with Detroit, possibly symbolizing challenges or changes.
Goodnight
Wishing a goodnight, possibly expressing a farewell or conclusion.
Spread out
Expansion or dispersion, suggesting a wide range of emotions or experiences.
Beneath
A sense of being beneath or overwhelmed by something.
Me now
Personal reflection or contemplation.
If I could, if I could change
Expressing a desire for change.
Believe me
An assurance of sincerity or truthfulness.
I would, I would for you
Expressing a willingness to change for someone special.
(My love)
A term of endearment, possibly directed towards a loved one.
And when, you're warm enough to share your sheets
Describing a state of being warm and cold metaphorically.
Cold enough to make it seem that I was only there long enough to disappear
Suggesting a transient presence that fades away.
You know I'll still, say your name to fall asleep
Continuing to remember the person's name despite the distance.
Over and over a cynic saying rosary
Repetition of memories, possibly with a touch of skepticism or doubt.
A liar living make believe
Living a fabricated or false reality.
And all, of Detroit waves
Reiteration of emotional waves linked to Detroit.
Goodnight
Wishing goodnight to the Detroit waves.
Spread out

Beneath

Me now

If I could, if I could change
Expressing a desire for change once again.
Believe me
Reiterating the sincerity of the desire to change.
I would, yes I would
Confirming the willingness to change.
And Detroit waves
Repetition of the reference to Detroit waves.
And Detroit waves, goodnight
Wishing goodnight to the Detroit waves again.
Spread out
Reiterating the expansive nature of emotions or experiences.
Beneath me now
Feeling beneath or overwhelmed by the Detroit waves once more.
If I could
Expressing the desire for change.
If I could change
Reiterating the sincerity of the desire to change.
Believe me
Confirmation of the genuine wish to change.
I would
A firm affirmation of the willingness to change.
Yes I would
Repeating the affirmation in the context of Detroit waves.
And Detroit Waves
Final mention of Detroit waves, possibly signaling a resolution.
Detroit Waves
Concluding with the repetition of "Detroit Waves."
