Long Nights
Setting Her Free: Embracing Independence in Long Nights
Lyrics
Go back, back to her room where she always was
Encouragement to revisit a past moment in her room, where she used to be.
She's trapped, dancing on daydreams
She feels confined, immersed in her daydreams while dancing.
Go back, back and you tell her everything she meant to you
Suggests going back to express the unspoken feelings for her.
But you can never find her 'til you know your way
Difficulty finding her unless you understand yourself.
She's gone, if you can't find the strength you never knew
If you lack strength, she's gone, revealing a facet of your character.
You never knew 'til you met her
Realization of one's ignorance before meeting her.
You're seen, but 'til you see her all you care about is you
Your perspective shifts when you truly see and appreciate her.
And she's packed her bags and booked the next flight
She's decided to leave, signified by packing and booking a flight.
If you don't want her on her long nights, then you're dragging her down
Warning about dragging her down on her challenging nights.
If you don't need her on her worst nights, then don't come back around
If you can't support her during tough times, stay away.
If you don't want her on her long nights, then be ready to see
Reiterating the importance of being there for her during long nights.
A life without her there to hold you tight, and then you're setting her free
If you can't be there for her, accept a life without her.
Go back, only if you're moving forward first
Return only if there is genuine progress and forward movement.
Act first, jump without thinking
Emphasis on taking action without overthinking.
You can choose when you want to show her your best or less than worst
Choose when to reveal your best or worst to her.
So don't be surprised to find she's gone away
She may be gone if you're surprised by her absence.
If you don't want her on her long nights, then you're dragging her down
Warning against being a burden on her during long nights.
If you aren't with her on her worst nights, then don't come back around
If you're not there for her during tough times, stay away.
If you don't need her on her long nights, then be ready to see
If you don't need her during challenging nights, be prepared for consequences.
A life without her there to hold you tight, and then you're setting her free
Accepting a life without her if you can't provide support.
Counting down the minutes, 'til the clock goes five, four, three, two, one
Counting down to a significant moment, possibly a decision or departure.
Counting down the minutes, 'til the world is washed away in sun
Anticipation of a transformative event, symbolized by the world washing away in the sun.
There's nothing left to say, except
Acknowledging there's nothing more to say.
You didn't want her on her long nights, you were dragging her down
Reflecting on not wanting her during her challenging nights as a regret.
You didn't need her on her worst nights, so don't come back around
If you didn't need her during tough times, don't expect her return.
You didn't want her on her long nights, so be ready to see
Realizing the consequences of not wanting her during long nights.
A life without her there to hold you tight, then you're setting her free
If you can't hold her tight, be prepared to let her go.
You didn't want her on her long nights
Reiteration of not wanting her during challenging nights.
So set her free
The final decision to set her free.
