Hazy Morning Glow
Chasing Shadows in the Hazy Morning Glow
Lyrics
the world in a violent rush
The world is in a chaotic and hurried state.
i'm only aching for the thrill of a touch
The speaker yearns for the excitement of physical contact.
and i can't ever seem to get enough
The speaker always craves more, unable to be satisfied.
i'm here
The speaker is present, while the other person is distant.
you're there
A sense of separation between the speaker and the other person.
i'm always waiting for a postcard from somewhere
The speaker anticipates communication, symbolized by a postcard.
as the madness in my mind prevails
Mental turmoil persists within the speaker.
oh, in the hazy morning glow
In the unclear dawn, suggesting a state of confusion.
oh, that's when everything's exposed
The truth is revealed in the morning haze.
it's just the way it is, yeah
Acceptance of the way things are.
it's just the way it is, yeah
Repetition emphasizes acceptance.
bankrupt, broken too
Financially and emotionally depleted.
we're prisoners and we don't have the slightest clue
We are unaware prisoners, ignorant of our situation.
as we grow our guns despite the news
Despite negative information, we continue certain behaviors.
i know
The speaker acknowledges knowledge.
do you know?
Questioning if the other person is aware.
all this money in our hands is just dope
Money in hands is compared to a drug.
when did chasing paper become the only goal?
Reflecting on the shift when chasing wealth became the primary goal.
oh, in the hazy morning glow
Similar to line 10, reaffirming a state of confusion.
oh, there's so many things exposed
In the morning haze, many truths are exposed.
it's just the way it is, yeah
Acceptance of the way things are reiterated.
it's just the way it is, yeah
Repetition emphasizes acceptance once again.
my best friend is my phone
The speaker's phone is their closest companion.
it seems i'm just sitting here getting old, old, old
The speaker feels stagnant and aging.
meanwhile, you're oh so young
Contrasting the speaker's aging with the youthfulness of someone else.
it almost seems you'll never be swallowed up by the sun
The other person seems immune to life's difficulties.
and i don't ever wanna see that day come
The speaker wishes to avoid a negative future event.
it's just the way it is, yeah
Reiterating acceptance of the current state of affairs.
it's just the way it is, yeah
Repetition emphasizes acceptance one last time.
yeah
An affirmative statement.
yeah
Reiteration of affirmation.
