Porch Song
Eternal Longing: Porch Song's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
You stayed awake
You remained alert and conscious
On the front porch
Located on the front porch
Waiting for sundown
Anticipating the arrival of sundown
Just staring at the clouds
Simply gazing at the clouds
Feels like the days are
It seems like the days are consistently becoming longer
Always getting longer
Expressing a perception of time passing slowly
Your pain
Your suffering or distress
It's all gone
Has completely disappeared or ceased
What did you want to be
Questioning one's aspirations or desires
Eternal now
A desire for a timeless or enduring existence
And after all this life
Reflecting on life experiences up to this point
I don't know now
Expressing uncertainty about current understanding
We stayed awake
We, collectively, stayed awake
Till the day dripped
Until the day slowly ended or slipped away
Out of our heads
Out of our minds or consciousness
We drift into the dark
We transitioned into the obscurity of the night
I find it hard just to wander
Expressing difficulty in navigating through life
On through this life
Moving forward through the journey of life
Your pain
Your suffering or distress
You're so far
You are distant or removed
