White Rabbit
Chasing Elusive Moments: A Journey Through Reflections
Lyrics
Follow along if you want to sail away
Invitation to join a journey or experience
White rabbit song slowly fading into grey
Reference to a transformative or unclear situation
And the trip is long while we sit in outer space
Long journey in a metaphorical outer space
But when you come down I left a light on in my place
Leaving a welcoming light for someone returning
I’m sorry for the lack of information
Apology for insufficient communication
I’m looking for something we can both do
Seeking a mutual activity or goal
I’m sorry for sour communication
Apology for negative communication
I’m building something bigger than us two
Building something significant beyond the relationship
Crowds go blind to a cardboard sign when the little yellow lines run out
Observation of people ignoring signs and boundaries
And the blue light rays from the store displays get louder until they shout
Intensifying distractions and consumerism
Speak your mind / undefined
Encouragement to express thoughts freely
Hang ‘em high / Realign
Call for reassessment or adjustment
When it's grey at the end
Ambiguous or unclear situations
we’re repaid what we spent
Receiving what was invested or expected
Want it back now, I want it back now
Desire to reclaim something lost or owed
The lobby’s marble tiles
Describing a specific environment with marble tiles
Your sort of sleepy smile
Noticing a particular smile in the described setting
The window’s flowerbeds
Reference to a window's flowerbeds
And sometimes wishing I was dead
Expressing moments of despair or dissatisfaction
The busy riverwalk
Busy or chaotic riverwalk setting
It’s still too soon to talk
Timing not right for discussion
The staircase wit you hide on seven hour impulse drives
Reference to a hiding place on a staircase during impulsive drives
I was so wrong until you put me in my place.
Correction of a mistaken perspective
Want it back now! Want it back now! Turn the lights out, I want ‘em back now!
Strong desire to reclaim something, turning lights off symbolically
Falling off track! Start to flashback! Falling off track! Flip the switch back!
Struggling or losing direction, wanting to return to a past state
Crowds go blind to a cardboard sign when the little yellow lines run out
Repetition of crowds going blind, emphasizing ignorance
And the blue light rays in the store displays get louder until they shout
Repetition of intensifying distractions and noise
White rabbit song slowly fading into grey
Reiteration of the initial reference to a transformative or unclear situation
