Lyrics

Oh, tonight began with anything

Beginning of the night with various possibilities.

Shaft of a light, a warm breath and a scream

Introduction of light, warmth, and intensity with a scream.

Ah, yeah

An expression of affirmation or agreement.

Oh, tamper if you like between the doors

Suggesting to tamper or play between doors, possibly metaphorical.

Oh yeah huh huh

An exclamation expressing understanding or acknowledgment.

Oh, can't expect to go out, to go out with anything, anything more

Difficulty in expecting more when going out.


Oh reach the door a breath and a

Reaching a door with a breath, introducing a sense of anticipation.

Oh reach the door and a na na la la yeah

Continuation of reaching the door with vocalizations (na na la la).

Life ain't what it's worth

Reflection on the value of life.

A breath and a, oh reach the door

Reiteration of reaching the door with a breath.


All these reaching hands out grabbing things, grabbing me

Description of hands reaching out and grabbing, possibly symbolic.

Day in, day out accumulating, ah yeah

Accumulation of experiences and challenges on a daily basis.

Whoa, I suggest you step out on your porch

Recommendation to step outside and experience life.

Oh yeah, huh, huh, huh, huh yeah

Expressive vocalizations emphasizing the suggestion.

Run away my son, see it all, oh see the world

Encouragement to run away and explore the world.


Oh reach the door, a breath and a

Reaching the door again, emphasizing the anticipation with breath.

Oh reach the door, oh ah and a na na la la yeah

Continuation of reaching the door with vocalizations (na na la la).

Life ain't what it's worth

Reflection on the worth of life.

A breath and a, oh reach the door

Reiteration of reaching the door with a breath.


Come, here it comes, there it goes, when it comes

Introduction of a recurring theme or event, possibly cyclic.

Where it goes, where it comes

Uncertainty about the path or direction of events.

Can't see through the faith, whoa

Difficulty in understanding or seeing through faith.

Ooh, come, here it comes, there it goes

Repetition of the theme, suggesting inevitability.

Grasp what you can

Encouragement to grasp opportunities.

Don't you know there's something inside your head, yeah

Awareness of something within one's head, possibly thoughts or emotions.


Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there

Expressing a desire to lead or guide, but acknowledging uncertainty.

But there's much more than this

Acknowledgment of the complexity and depth of existence.

Ooh, whoa, much more than this, whoa see the world, much more than

Recognition of the vastness and richness of life.

Much more than

Repetition of the idea that there is much more to life.

Why?

Pondering the question of "Why?"
