Broadway
Dreams Unraveled: A Tale of Aspiring Lights
Lyrics
She was the girl who ran the spotlight
She was the girl responsible for operating the spotlight during performances.
Her heart was on the stage
Her passion and emotions were expressed on the stage.
Nobody ever got to hear her lines
Her personal thoughts and feelings were not known to others.
But she sang them anyway
Despite not being heard, she sang her lines with determination.
Knew that someday she wanted broadway underneath the lights
She aspired to be on Broadway, performing under the spotlight.
She wanted encores at the end of every night
She desired applause and recognition at the conclusion of each performance.
She planned to keep on singing when the audience was tired
She aimed to persevere in her singing even when the audience grew weary.
This wasn't broadway, it was close enough
The reality fell short of Broadway, but it was a close approximation.
She was the girl who found the spotlight
She became entangled with unfaithful men while seeking the spotlight.
The arms of cheating men
Her encounters with infidelity shaped her experiences.
She finally got a chance to sing and dance
She got the chance to perform but it wasn't as fulfilling as she envisioned.
But it wasn't she meant
The performance did not align with her true aspirations.
And she said she wanted broadway underneath the lights
Her desire persisted for Broadway, the grand stage under bright lights.
She wanted encores but this just wasn't right
Despite longing for encores, the current situation felt wrong.
She planned to keep on singing when the audience was done
She intended to continue singing even when the audience lost interest.
This wasn't broadway
The current circumstance was not the Broadway she envisioned.
Plans that didn't play out
Her plans did not unfold as expected.
When her heart was left on the ground
Her heartbreak was evident when her dreams shattered.
When the song didn't play in her key but she kept on singing
She continued singing despite challenges and deviations from her intended path.
When they didn't follow her script
Others did not follow the script she had in mind for her life.
The words that were left on her lips
Her unspoken words and unfulfilled desires left a mark along her journey.
Had bled along the way
Pain and struggle were evident in the words she left unsaid.
She snuck in late one night
One night, she revisited the spotlight she once operated.
Climbed up to that old spotlight
She reflected on the unchanging nature of certain aspects of her life.
She laughed at how some things never change
She laughed at the consistency of some things, looking back on her mistakes.
Looking back at the mess that she made
Reviewing the mess she made, she acknowledged tragedy as a recurring theme in her life.
Tragedy was a role that she'd always play
Tragedy seemed to be a role she consistently played in her experiences.
The spotlight, it burst into flames
Unexpectedly, the spotlight burst into flames.
Yah she torched the place
She intentionally set fire to the place, expressing her desire for Broadway.
She wanted broadway
Her desire for Broadway persisted even as she torched the surroundings.
Underneath the lights this was her encore
This act was her encore under the lights, finally feeling right.
If finally felt right
She intended to continue singing despite the audience's weariness.
She planned to keep on singing when the audience was tired
The current situation, though not Broadway, felt close enough.
This wasn't broadway, this wasn't broadway
It was close enough
The situation, while not exactly Broadway, was a near approximation.
