Balconies
Escaping Judgment: Balconies of Freedom and Love
Lyrics
There, there, they can't get us here
Expressing a sense of safety and seclusion from external threats.
It's just you and me, and the air
Emphasizing the intimacy between the speaker and someone else in a tranquil environment.
Without those stares, without those stares
Yearning for a space free from judgment and scrutiny.
Tomorrow we drive two hundred miles
Anticipating a journey of significant distance.
To the next balcony
Referring to the destination as a symbolic "balcony" that holds importance.
Where she will be waiting for me
Expecting someone special to be present at the destination.
And if the night swallowed me whole
Contemplating the potential isolation or challenges faced by the speaker during the night.
And left her all alone
Considering the impact on the person waiting on the balcony if the speaker faced difficulties.
I wonder if she'd find her way back home
Pondering the resilience and ability of the person on the balcony to find their way back home.
Twelve stories below is where I know I ought to go
Recognizing an alternative path or choice that may be considered but is not the preferred option.
But tomorrow there's a show and she'll be there
Highlighting the commitment to attend an event despite the challenges mentioned earlier.
There, there, they can't get us here
Reiterating the theme of safety and seclusion from external influences.
It's just you and me, and the air
Re-emphasizing the intimate atmosphere between the speaker and the other person.
Without those stares, without those stares
Reiterating the desire for a space without judgment and scrutiny.
Well tomorrow we drive two hundred miles
Repeating the anticipation of a significant journey to the next symbolic balcony.
To the next balcony where she will be waiting for me
Expecting the presence of the same special person at the upcoming destination.
And if the night swallowed me whole
Revisiting the potential challenges or isolation faced by the speaker during the night.
And left her all alone
Considering the impact on the person waiting on the balcony if the speaker faced difficulties, echoing previous lines.
I wonder if she'd find her way back home
Pondering the resilience and ability of the person on the balcony to find their way back home, echoing previous lines.
Twelve stories below is where I know I want to go
Reiterating the acknowledgment of an alternative path or choice that may be considered but is not the preferred option.
But tomorrow there's a show and she'll be there
Reaffirming the commitment to attend an event despite the challenges mentioned earlier.
There, there, they can't get us here
Final reinforcement of the theme of safety and seclusion from external influences.
It's just you and me, and the air
Re-emphasizing the intimate atmosphere between the speaker and the other person.
Without those stares, without those stares
Reiterating the desire for a space without judgment and scrutiny, concluding the narrative.
