Westway
Dreams Ascend in the Westway: A Tale of Love and Rebellion
Lyrics
We tip-toed through the sky building castles
We navigated through life dreamily, constructing castles in the sky.
And nothing ever bothered us at all
Nothing troubled us as we lived carefree.
We got dizzy on a staircase and chose to fall
We experienced a sense of vertigo on a staircase and willingly embraced a fall.
Only to find a lonesome Newtown
This fall led us to a desolate Newtown.
How you gonna sleep with your head so high?
A rhetorical question questioning the ability to sleep peacefully with a proud demeanor.
You should come with me to the dress up party
An invitation to join a themed party where eccentricity is celebrated.
Freaks is the theme, and yeah, that's my nature
Expressing a natural inclination towards being unconventional.
Come, let's indulge in outlandish behavior
An invitation to engage in extraordinary and peculiar behavior.
I wanna save you
An expression of a desire to protect or rescue someone.
I'm home when you're there
Feeling at home when the person addressed is present.
Alone, don't compare
Being alone is incomparable when this person is absent.
I feel, she comes
A sense of anticipation or arrival associated with the mentioned person.
The westway, the glitter, and the slums
Referring to the Westway, glitter, and slums as significant elements.
The westway, the glitter, and the slums
Reiteration of the significance of the Westway, glitter, and slums.
I started all the world wars
Claiming responsibility for significant global conflicts.
The hole up in the sky
Referring to an opening in the sky, possibly metaphorical.
Sucked the liquid out the ground
Describing an act of extracting a substance from the ground.
'Spose I'm darker in the light
Admitting a darker aspect when exposed to light.
Now I'm getting down
Expressing a positive disposition and readiness to engage.
Because I'm always feeling fine
Attributing a consistently positive mood.
The cobblestone streets
Referencing a path paved with cobblestones during the night.
Paved my way through the night
Highlighting a departure from normalcy.
I'm not normal
Emphasizing uniqueness or individuality.
I'm home when you're there
Repetition of feeling at home when the person addressed is present.
Alone, don't compare
Reiteration that being alone is incomparable in the absence of the mentioned person.
I feel she calls
Repetition of a sense of anticipation or arrival associated with the mentioned person.
The westway, the glitter, and the slums
Repeating the significance of the Westway, glitter, and slums.
The westway, the glitter, and the slums
Reiteration of the importance of the Westway, glitter, and slums.
I'm here but I'm lost
A declaration of being physically present but emotionally lost.
Wide awake as I stare at the sun
Experiencing heightened awareness while staring at the sun.
The westway, the glitter, and the slums
Repeating the significance of the Westway, glitter, and slums.
The westway, the glitter, and the slums
Reiteration of the importance of the Westway, glitter, and slums.
How do you gonna sleep with your head so high
Rhetorical question questioning the ability to sleep peacefully with a proud demeanor.
How do you gonna sleep with your head so high
Repetition of the rhetorical question about sleeping with a proud demeanor.
