Stir All Night
Midnight Musings: Unveiling the Soulful Journey in 'Stir All Night'
Lyrics
He was staying up late for longer than he ever needed,
He consistently stayed up late for longer durations than necessary.
Drunk when the clock struck four in the afternoon,
He was intoxicated at an unusual hour, around 4 in the afternoon.
Felt Fairly well when the sun came out but when the night began to fall,
He felt reasonably well during the day, but as night fell, his mood changed.
The moonlight knew what was really going on,
The moonlight seemed to understand the true nature of his situation.
He would stir all night and cough when he began to settle,
He couldn't settle and experienced coughing when attempting to do so.
Thought that a single smoke might pass the time,
He considered smoking as a way to pass the time.
The beating off the talent drum weighed heavy on his mind,
The pressure of showcasing his talent weighed heavily on his mind.
Worried that one day he'd be left behind,
He worried about the possibility of being left behind in terms of talent.
He was born to run,
He had an innate desire to keep moving forward.
Raised to hide,
He was brought up to conceal or protect himself.
There he was,
Despite this, he found himself in a certain situation.
Doing it all his life,
He engaged in a particular behavior throughout his life.
He was close enough,
He was near success but failed to overcome challenges.
But failed to rise from the flames,
Despite being close, he couldn't rise above difficulties.
So the ashes remained,
Leaving only remnants or memories of his attempts.
He would go on down to the water's edge,
He would go to the water's edge, seeking a connection with the tide.
Try to dip his toes in the passing tide,
Attempting to experience the passing tide by dipping his toes in.
Calling out to kingdom come to leave behind a sign,
Calling out for a significant moment or a sign to mark his presence.
Or a flicker of the moment when he could shine,
Wishing for a moment when he could shine or stand out.
He was born to run,
Reiteration of his inherent inclination to keep moving forward.
Raised to hide,
Reemphasizing the upbringing that instilled a tendency to hide.
There he was,
Despite the conflicting tendencies, he found himself in a situation.
Doing it all his life,
Continuing a certain behavior throughout his life.
He was close enough,
Being close to success but unable to rise above challenges.
But failed to rise from the flames,
Despite proximity, he couldn't overcome the obstacles he faced.
So the ashes remained,
Leaving only remnants or memories of his attempts.
He grew weary and he grew tired,
He became weary and tired due to staying awake throughout the night.
Because he stayed awake all night,
Expressing fatigue from staying awake for extended periods.
Waiting for something that may never come,
Waiting for something, possibly success, that might never materialize.
Waiting for something that may never come,
Repetition of the anticipation for something uncertain.
No single person in this world can make your dreams come true,
No individual can fulfill your dreams; it's a personal responsibility.
Not a single person but You.
Highlighting the importance of self-determination in achieving dreams.
