Seeing Less Than Half of Their Faces
Unmasking Desires: A Tale of Longing in Neon-lit Bars
Lyrics
When the COVID disease starts wanin
Expressing a desire for the decline of the COVID disease.
And they open up the bars
Anticipation of the reopening of bars.
Get outta my way! I'm after my prey
A playful declaration of pursuing one's interests.
In the neon through them swingin' doors
Entering a lively atmosphere with swinging doors and neon lights.
Don't matter the restrictions! I'll keep my distance
Commitment to maintaining social distance despite restrictions.
Longs the music and the booze are good
Enjoyment of music and alcohol as long as they are of good quality.
If the ladies come dancin' and lookin' for romancin'
Expectation of meeting and engaging with ladies for romance.
You know that I'll be
Indication of being present and involved in the bar scene.
Huntin' the bars and going through the paces
Actively participating in bar activities and socializing.
Seeing less than half of their faces
Expressing the challenge of observing facial expressions due to masks.
Getting' to know their personalities
Exploring and understanding the personalities of individuals.
Hopin' for the best when I get to see
Hopeful anticipation of positive experiences.
The rest of her face when that mask comes off

Prayin' I won't regret my choices

And I ain't so much as sneezed

In a bar with some stools that are six feet apart
