Second Floor East
Loneliness and Hope: A Soul's Journey through Isolation
Lyrics
She falls asleep the same way every night
Establishes a routine of falling asleep
she dreams of new worlds in the TV light
She dreams of new possibilities illuminated by the TV
she's lonely she's tired she's lonely she's crying
Expresses her emotional state: lonely, tired, and crying
it makes her feel like something is going on
Feeling a sense of activity or significance in her emotions
it makes her feel like people are around
Feeling the presence of people around her emotionally
to tell her she's alright
Seeking reassurance that she's okay
to keep out the ngiht
Desire to keep the night and its challenges at bay
she wonders why she feels this way
Questioning the cause of her emotional state
she wonders if she'll ever be okay
Wondering if she'll ever overcome her difficulties
there's nothing she can laugh about
Unable to find joy or humor in her current situation
no anthem for a new tomorrow
Lamenting the absence of a hopeful anthem for the future
cut off a long time ago now no one wants to hear about it
Feeling isolated and unheard about past experiences
she thinks about how everybody smiles
Reflecting on the contrast between appearances and reality
but no one ever seems to have the time to ever stop and try to think
Observing the lack of time for deep contemplation in others
to ever crack a little bit
Desiring a moment of vulnerability or openness in others
she knows that someday things are gonna change
Believing that change is inevitable in the future
things will get a little better
Hopeful for improvement, but acknowledging challenges
but it just seems like everyday
Expressing the gradual decline of positivity each day
it slips a little more and fades
Recognizing the fading of hope and optimism over time
it should feel good to be aliv
Reflecting on the expectation that life should be fulfilling
the world keeps dropping back but she's still trying
Persisting despite setbacks and challenges in the world
she leaves the TV on at night
Using the TV as a distraction or company during the night
so she won't have to keep on crawling inside herself
Avoiding introspection by keeping external stimuli
