Night Owls
Night Owls' Melody: Embracing the Quiet Symphony of Midnight Reflections
Lyrics
I remember waiting till the middle of the night to fall asleep
I used to stay awake until late at night before falling asleep.
falling like clutching to the sides of the boat that would carry me
Describing the feeling of holding onto something for stability in uncertain situations.
out into the middle of the world where there's so little left to cling to
Feeling adrift in a world where there's very little to rely on or hold onto.
I could hear the crickets and the ocean and the thunder and the silence ring
Being in a space where various sounds like crickets, ocean waves, thunder, and silence were perceptible.
waiting in the shadows by the side of the road in the evergreens
Waiting in a hidden or secluded area near a road surrounded by evergreen trees.
waiting on the flickering broken streetlights diamonds in the canopies
Waiting near malfunctioning or flickering streetlights, observing their reflection on tree canopies.
say goodnight to all the night owls
Sending regards or saying goodbye to people who, like night owls, stay awake late.
oh good night I am no early bird
Expressing that the speaker is not someone who wakes up early in the morning.
I am young among the stars
Feeling youthful and full of life among the stars (metaphorically).
and I know right where you are
Being aware or having knowledge of where someone else is.
I remember hearing that it was what it was when I first arrived
Recalling a moment of understanding or acceptance of a situation when arriving somewhere.
we all got a bridge in our brains that is running from the left to the right
Metaphorically referring to the brain's connections while suggesting differences among individuals.
but maybe it doesn't meet the land so Grandma deal another hand of Tripoli
Uncertainty about whether connections made in the brain (or in life) have meaningful outcomes.
everybody says nothing good ever happens after 3am
Commonly stated belief that nothing positive occurs after 3 am.
I don't know if good is as good as the good of remembered when
Questioning the true nature of 'good' in late-night situations compared to remembered experiences.
but when I try to close my eyes the light that lingers shows
Struggling to sleep and experiencing lingering thoughts or images when trying to rest.
me what I wanna see
Seeing things in the mind's eye that reflect personal desires or wishes.
say goodnight to all the night owls oh good night I am no early bird
Repeatedly bidding farewell to night owls and reiterating the speaker's identification with the stars and knowledge of someone's whereabouts.
say goodnight to all the night owls oh good night I am no early bird
-say goodnight to all the night owls oh good night I am no early bird
-I am young among the stars
-and I know right where you are
Being aware or having knowledge of someone's location, possibly indicating a connection or understanding.
