Night
Urban Solitude: Squirrel Flower's Night Chronicles a City's Unseen Struggles
Lyrics
Day in, day out
Expressing the repetitiveness of daily life
Roll yourself over
Suggesting a self-reflective action, possibly a metaphor for introspection
Day in, day out
Reiterating the monotony of daily existence
Roll your fingers together
Implies a contemplative or nervous gesture
Haven't seen the sun in months
Describing a prolonged period without sunlight
I don't wanna breathe that air in my lungs
Expressing a desire to avoid polluted air
And my candle's burning down
Metaphorical reference to the limited time or resources
There is oil in the streets downtown
Symbolizing urban decay or societal problems
And I won't lie and say I've got another
Emphasizing the truthfulness about not having an alternative or solution
I won't lie and say I've got another
-I won't lie and say I've got another
-I won't lie and say I've got another
-To the moon I wail of solitude
Expressing a deep feeling of isolation
And she spits on my head
Symbolic act of rejection or disdain
I won't lie and say I've got another
Reiterating the lack of alternatives or options
A wild dog
Possibly a metaphorical reference to wild and untamed emotions or situations
Bombs and smoke hugging the ocean
Describing a chaotic or destructive scenario
No shoes and
Symbolizing a lack of comfort or protection
Yellow hazy full moon
Describing a dreamlike or surreal atmosphere
So hot that even then
Highlighting the intensity of the heat
In the night I stuck to me
Expressing discomfort or unease in the nighttime
And my candle's burning down
Repeating the metaphorical reference to limited time or resources
There is oil in the streets downtown
Reinforcing the idea of urban decay or societal issues
