Amsterdam Stranded
Amsterdam Stranded: Navigating Life's Shadows with Midnight Choir
Lyrics
Down by the muddy harbor
Reflecting on the area near the muddy harbor.
For many a restless night
Expressing a period of sleepless nights.
Have I been walking
Describing a journey or contemplative walks.
Down by the muddy harbor
Reiteration of spending time near the muddy harbor.
For many a restless night
Continuation of experiencing restless nights.
Have I found myself talking
Finding oneself engaged in conversations.
And much to my surprise
Surprised realization of being wrong for a prolonged period.
I found that 've been wrong for so long now
Acknowledging a long-standing misconception.
I found that I've been wrong
Reaffirmation of recognizing one's mistakes.
I found that I've been wrong for so long now
Acknowledging the duration of the realization.
I've been to New York City
Recalling a visit to New York City.
I've seen the world at large and it's hurting
Observing the world and acknowledging its pain.
It took a lot of pain to get me where I am
Highlighting the challenges faced to reach the current state.
That's for certain
Acknowledging certainty in the journey's difficulties.
I've felt the arms of God
Having experienced divine comfort.
And I've felt the Devil's kisses
Encountering the negative aspects or temptations.
In the Nighttime
Referencing experiences during nighttime.
I thought I'd seen it all
Feeling that everything has been witnessed.
Just to watch it fall like curtains
Witnessing a downfall or negative turn of events.
Just to watch it come down to this
Watching a situation come down to a certain state.
I'm Amsterdam stranded
Feeling stranded in Amsterdam.
And it's taken for granted that I'm singing
Expressing a sense of taking things for granted while singing.
But one of these days
Anticipating a future departure.
I will be leaving
Expressing the inevitability of leaving.
I've got leaving on my mind
Having thoughts of leaving.
Gonna leave it all behind
Deciding to leave everything behind.
That's for certain
Reiterating the certainty of departure.
I'm tired of waisting time
Feeling tired of wasting time.
Chasing this high
Pursuing a fleeting and elusive satisfaction.
Oh, sweet burden...
Referring to the burdensome nature of this pursuit.
How did we end up like this?
Pondering on how the current situation came to be.
