Red Light Calling
Amelia's Last Flight: Reflections on Life's Trials and Hope
Lyrics
Red light calling
Expressing a signal or sign represented by a red light.
For me to bring it home
A call or invitation for the speaker to bring something home.
And I am recalling vaguely
Recalling something vaguely from the past.
That I promised someone
Remembering a promise made to someone.
That she would fly
Expressing a desire for someone to take flight metaphorically.
Come on, Amelia
Encouraging someone named Amelia to try once more.
Just one more try
-Come on, Amelia
-Just one more try
-Granite faces on the train
Describing granite-faced individuals on a train covered in ice, calling for help to avoid a dire situation.
All are covered with ice
-I arise and I call your name
-You have to save me tonight
-Or I'm gonna die
Expressing the gravity of the situation and contemplating disbelief in certain things.
Thinking bout everything I don't believe in
-Thinking bout everything I don't believe in
-Can you hear the knocking at the door
Noticing a knocking at the door, indicating the presence of others seeking advice.
Someone has been here before you tonight
-Can you hear the knocking at the door
-We have all come for the same advice
-Crazy are the lives we live
Reflecting on the complexities of life, individual struggles, and the bitter-sweetness of success.
Every dog for itself
-Ignore the scheme
-Then bleed you will
-It's bittersweet
-When you land on your two feet
-Oh, defeat
Acknowledging defeat or challenges but standing on two feet.
No one can tell me we didn't meet
Asserting that no one can deny a meaningful encounter or connection.
No one can tell me we didn't meet
-Can you hear the knocking at the door
Repetition of the knocking at the door, emphasizing the commonality of seeking advice.
Someone has been here before you tonight
-Can you hear the knocking at the door
-We have all come for the same advice
