Brass Band Daydream
Embracing Inner Turmoil: A Symphony of Self-Reflection
Lyrics
When you lie awake in bed
Reflecting on moments of insomnia and contemplation in bed.
With a brass band in your head
Imagining a persistent mental presence, symbolized by a brass band.
Blaring trumpets call
Powerful and insistent trumpets in the mind, possibly representing thoughts or ideas.
Out loud until the morning
These thoughts or ideas persist loudly until the morning.
Though you try to close your eyes
Struggling to sleep while the mind is actively visualizing past experiences.
All your days visualize
The mental images are vivid, possibly relating to memories or aspirations.
As the light it bleeds
The light metaphorically represents awareness, seeping through and warming the consciousness.
And penetrates so warming
The penetrating light brings a comforting warmth.
I do know the feeling
Expressing familiarity with the described emotional state.
(Oh I know the feeling)
Acknowledging a shared experience of the feeling described.
And I know there's only more
Anticipating that there will be more instances of the same feeling.
I do know the feeling
Reiterating the awareness and understanding of the described emotion.
(Oh I know the feeling)
Expecting similar feelings to continue occurring.
Coming in from out the door
Describing the feeling entering or intensifying.
Look at all the faults you've made
Reflecting on personal mistakes and moral compromises.
All the values you betrayed
Acknowledging the betrayal of one's own values.
And you'll fall apart
Predicting a breakdown under the weight of unnecessary burdens.
From weight you needn't carry
Encouraging release from burdens that aren't essential.
There are other ways, I pray
Suggesting alternative perspectives and approaches.
Other ways to see your days
Encouraging exploration of different ways to experience life.
Other you's to view
Highlighting the existence of different versions of oneself.
To help make you somebody
Emphasizing the potential for personal growth and transformation.
I do know the feeling
Repeating the familiarity with the described emotional state.
(Oh I know the feeling)
Reaffirming the shared experience and understanding.
And I know there's only more
Expecting the recurrence of the described feeling.
I do know the feeling
Reiterating the awareness and understanding of the described emotion.
(Oh I know the feeling)
Expecting similar feelings to continue occurring.
Coming in from out the door
Describing the feeling entering or intensifying.
You're only dreaming
Acknowledging that the experience is a dream.
Too bad you can't say it's just a dream
Expressing a sense of disappointment that the dream cannot be acknowledged as such.
Better, bolder, more in tune
Describing an idealized version of oneself - better, bolder, and more in tune.
Selfless
Emphasizing selflessness while still serving one's own needs.
But still serving you
Striving for personal improvement and growth.
All the things you need
List of essential things needed for personal development.
To be, and always nearing
Continuing the journey of self-discovery and improvement.
So you lie awake in bed
Revisiting the theme of lying awake with intrusive thoughts.
With a brass band in your head
Reiterating the presence of the persistent mental imagery symbolized by the brass band.
And the trumpet's call
Highlighting the emotional appeal of the trumpet's call.
Was never so endearing
Suggesting that the troubling thoughts have a certain charm.
I do know the feeling
Repeating the familiarity with the described emotional state.
(Oh I know the feeling)
Reaffirming the shared experience and understanding.
And I know there's only more
Expecting the recurrence of the described feeling.
I do know the feeling
Reiterating the awareness and understanding of the described emotion.
(Oh I know the feeling)
Expecting similar feelings to continue occurring.
Coming in from out the door
Describing the feeling entering or
