Lampposts
Chasing Shadows in Lamplight
Lyrics
Never tasted the sweet in the bitter
Reflecting on a lack of appreciation for positive experiences within challenging or bitter moments.
Or felt warmth from the breeze in the Winter
Not deriving comfort from typical sources of warmth or solace during difficult times.
Still I've grown accustomed to thinking they still could be there
Expressing a sense of longing or hope for positive things that may still exist despite challenges.
And I never wanted to break when I bended
Resistance to breaking or giving in when faced with challenges.
Or lose the money I paid when I spent it
Reluctance to lose the value invested in various aspects of life.
But all of my efforts to hold on remind me that
Acknowledging the difficulty of holding on to certain aspects, despite sincere efforts.
It's only fair
Recognition that fairness is a fundamental aspect of life.
(It's only fair)
Reiteration of the idea that life's challenges are inherently fair.
Just please don't leave me standing here
Plea for emotional support and not being left alone in challenging times.
When all of the light's been erased
Reference to the removal of positivity or guidance from one's life.
From the lampposts that guided the way
Mention of the absence of guiding lights, possibly symbolic of lost direction or guidance.
And all of the people that pass me, they don't know my face
Feeling unnoticed or overlooked by others as life progresses.
Cus I'll be here calling your name
Expressing a persistent call for someone or something, possibly seeking connection or understanding.
At the corner of all my mistakes
Reflecting on past mistakes at a specific location or point in time.
Just hoping there's time left to turn around and go make them all again
Hoping for an opportunity to rectify past mistakes despite the challenges.
Make them all again
Reiteration of the desire to remake past mistakes.
All again
Repetition emphasizing the wish to redo past actions.
Cus all of the light's been erased
Reiteration of the loss of guiding lights in life.
From the lampposts that guided the way
Restatement of the absence of guiding lights and its impact.
And every person that passed me never recognized my face
Feeling unnoticed by those around, contributing to a sense of isolation.
I was there calling your name
Persistent call for someone or something, possibly seeking recognition or connection.
In the middle of all my mistakes
Reflecting on mistakes in a specific location, contemplating the possibility of rectifying them.
Wondering how I could get back and go and make them all over again
Expressing a desire to go back and redo past mistakes despite uncertainties.
