Several Arrows Later
Chasing Dreams Amidst City Lights
Lyrics
Orange streetlight picks up when the summer sun goes
Orange streetlight symbolizes the transition from day to night.
On tops of buildings red remains
Buildings retain a lingering red glow after sunset.
It's the differences in light that gets our minds, that gets our minds
The variation in light captures our attention and stimulates our thoughts.
Give waking up for never fading
Choosing perpetual awakening over fading away.
And I walked up to you
Approaching someone with a shared experience.
Holding on to the rail I was not fine
Holding on to a support structure, indicating emotional instability.
My intentions proved
Confirming one's intentions.
I thought I would go further
Expecting to progress further.
Several arrows later will be fine
Expressing optimism despite facing challenges ("Several arrows later will be fine").
I am listening
Being attentive and receptive.
I'm hearing every single word
Actively listening to every spoken word.
I see breath and sighs and changing minds
Observing breath, sighs, and the evolution of thoughts.
I told myself not to remind me of the things I could've been
Self-admonition not to dwell on missed opportunities.
I told myself not to remind me
Reinforcing the decision to avoid dwelling on missed opportunities.
And I walked up to you
Returning to someone with unresolved emotions.
Holding on to the rail I was not fine
Clutching a rail while acknowledging emotional turmoil.
My intentions proved
Reiterating one's intentions in the face of uncertainty.
I thought I would go further
Hoping to achieve greater depths in the relationship.
Several arrows later will be fine
Remaining optimistic despite facing challenges ("Several arrows later will be fine").
You should not want to sound they like do
Advice not to imitate others but to be authentic.
You should want to sound like you
Encouragement to embrace one's unique voice and style.
You should not want to sound they like do
Reiteration of the importance of authenticity.
And I am listening
Continued receptiveness and active listening.
I'm hearing every single word
Acknowledging and processing each spoken word.
I see breath and sighs and changing minds
Observing breath, sighs, and evolving thoughts persistently.
I told myself not to remind me of the things I could've been
Repeating the caution against dwelling on missed opportunities.
I told myself not to remind me
Reiterating the decision to avoid reminders of missed opportunities.
