Halos
Lost Souls' Journey: Temptations and Redemption
Lyrics
Perhaps one's indulgence strips their clothes away
Indulgence may lead to vulnerability, exposing one's true self.
Lays them in a bed and keeps their pain at bay
Seeking comfort in indulgence to numb emotional pain.
Wakes them up each morning to a smiling face
Enjoying a facade of happiness and waking up to a pleasant facade.
Before they see its forked tongue flick between its fangs
Reality reveals a deceptive and dangerous nature hidden behind the facade.
And I think you could be another Vegas star
Expressing the potential for fame and excess associated with a Vegas lifestyle.
Cocaine in a limo near New York, New York
Referencing the destructive allure of substances and a chaotic lifestyle.
To wake up with no sense of who or where you are
Waking up disoriented with a loss of identity after indulgence.
Glitter in the drain every morning wash
Symbolizing the remnants of excess and indulgence in daily rituals.
Next thing you know; you're lost on a road that you do know
Getting lost in a familiar but confusing path due to indulgent choices.
The rings around the streetlights shine like halos
Visual imagery of streetlights resembling halos, possibly ironic in the context of indulgence.
And if they're watching, the angels are certainly gawking
Suggesting a feeling of being observed or judged by higher forces.
Mouths agape at the extent you choose to test their patience
Angels expressing shock and disapproval at the extent of risky behavior.
No one means can hold you in for long enough
No method can restrain the desire for indulgence for a significant duration.
It's not particular the way you seek that rush
Indulgence is not specific; the thrill-seeking behavior is not directed in a particular way.
The destination is not the fuel to the search
The end goal is not the motivation for the reckless behavior.
Or else the regular visits would lift the curse
Regular indulgence does not provide a solution to life's challenges.
Next thing you know; you're lost on a road that you do know
Reiteration of the theme of getting lost on a familiar but confusing path.
The rings around the streetlights shine like halos
Streetlights symbolizing a distorted sense of guidance or enlightenment.
And if they're watching, the angels are certainly gawking
Continued sense of being watched or judged by higher forces.
Mouths agape at the extent you choose to test their patience
Angelic figures expressing disbelief at the persistence of risky behavior.
And seldom, when I hear you singing the night's songs
Reflection on the emotional impact of someone singing during the night.
Do I feel a thing in my heart but sometimes I'll tap in time
Feeling a connection during dark times when the singer taps into emotions.
And often when the days are getting dark in the spaces I've been living
Reaching out for comfort when facing difficulties in one's living spaces.
I'll reach out my fingers to your side
Expressing a longing for connection and support in challenging moments.
And seldom, when I hear you singing that night song
Reiteration of the emotional impact of hearing someone sing during the night.
Do I feel a thing in my heart but sometimes I'll tap in time
Feeling a connection, but the emotional response is intermittent.
