One Flight Down
Journey Through Melodies: Norah Jones' Poetic Flight
Lyrics
One flight down
Feeling a sense of descent or melancholy.
There's a song on low
There's a quiet, subdued melody playing.
And your mind just picked up on the sound
Your attention is drawn to the music, affecting your thoughts.
Now you know that you're wrong
Realizing a mistake or misjudgment.
Because it drifts like smoke
The music flows gently, reminiscent of drifting smoke.
And it's been there playing all along
The music has been present in the background, unnoticed.
Now you know
A moment of realization.
Now you know
A repeated acknowledgment of understanding.
The reeds and brass have been weaving
Various musical elements blend together.
Leading into a single note
Building up to a single, focused musical note.
In this place
Describing a location where one can open up emotionally.
Where your arms unfold
A moment of emotional vulnerability and connection.
Here at last I see your ancient face
Finally recognizing someone's timeless essence.
Now you know
Reiterating a moment of understanding.
Now you know
Confirming the depth of comprehension.
The cadence rolls in broken
The rhythm becomes irregular or disrupted.
Plays it over and then goes
The music repeats and then changes direction.
One flight down
Returning to the initial feeling of descent or melancholy.
There's a song on low
Reintroducing the quiet, subdued melody.
And it's been there playing all along
Reiterating that the music has been present all along.
Now you know
Reaffirming the newfound understanding.
Now you know
Repeated acknowledgment of the realization.
