Last Night in Windham
Last Night's Unraveling Journey: A Musical Tale of Redemption
Lyrics
It’s your last night in Windham
Expressing that it's the final evening in Windham.
And it all comes to a head
Everything is reaching a climax or conclusion.
You’re leaving here for good this time
Confirming a permanent departure from Windham.
Don’t got much to show for it
Reflecting on a lack of substantial achievements.
Your card got declined at the bar
Encountering a financial setback at a bar.
Some last call as you take off
Experiencing the final moments as last call is announced.
You’re out of pills when you finally make it home
Running out of medication upon returning home.
Tonight you’ll have to sweat it out
Having to endure difficulties or challenges tonight.
What a life trying to outrun the sun
Reflecting on a challenging life, possibly with regrets.
Might be time to meet
Suggesting it might be time to confront one's true self.
The man you haven’t become
Acknowledging the need to face personal growth.
It’s your last night in Windham
Reiterating that it's the final night in Windham.
Funny how you started off at church
Recalling a starting point at church, possibly with irony.
They say only God can judge you
Noting the perception that only God can judge, but desiring judgment from others.
But hell you wish everybody else could
Wishing others would judge and understand the struggles.
Cuz you got the world thinking you’re a white knight
Feeling burdened by the expectation of being a savior.
Been given it all to follow the ranks
Having given everything but losing support from friends.
But slowly your friends been giving up on you
Friends losing faith as efforts seem fruitless.
When you’re only shooting blanks
Metaphorically shooting blanks, failing to make an impact.
What a life trying to outrun the sun
Reflecting on a life struggling to escape challenges.
Might be time to meet
Suggesting it might be time for self-discovery.
The man you haven’t become
Highlighting the need to confront one's true identity.
It’s your last night in Windham
Emphasizing that it's the last night in Windham.
And nobody came to see the show
No one came to witness the departure or final act.
You’re only getting older
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging.
And playing for tips doesn’t help you grow
Playing music for tips isn't contributing to personal growth.
Your pride won’t let you ask for help
Pride prevents seeking assistance despite difficulties.
So smile at the girl outside
Putting on a facade for an external audience.
Give her what she wants
Providing what others want to avoid loneliness.
You’ll both put off loneliness for a night
A temporary escape from loneliness with a shared experience.
What a life trying to outrun the sun
Reflecting on the struggle to avoid life's challenges.
Might be time to meet
Suggesting it might be time to confront one's true self.
The man you haven’t become
Highlighting the necessity of facing personal growth.
Mama I’m leaving Windham
Informing the mother about leaving Windham for good.
I know you wish I’d stick it out
Acknowledging the mother's desire for a continued presence.
I’ve taken too many kicks to the stomach
Expressing physical and emotional pain from past experiences.
Too many dark clouds over this town
Describing a pervasive sense of negativity in the town.
What I’m doing hasn’t been working
Recognizing that current actions are ineffective, but struggling to change.
But I can’t get myself to change
An internal conflict between knowing one's blessings and feeling cursed.
You told me I’m not cursed I’m blessed
Despite being told of blessings, struggling to believe in them.
Well I can’t quite believe in that
An internal struggle with belief in blessings.
What a life trying to outrun the sun
Reflecting on a life struggling to escape challenges.
Think it’s time I meet
Indicating a readiness to confront one's true self.
The man I haven’t become
Expressing the need to meet the person one has not yet become.
