The Curtains Are Falling
High-Flyer's Dilemma: Battling Shadows Above
Lyrics
I'm back in the air, but I've nowhere to go
I find myself airborne with no specific destination.
I nervously glance at the mountains below
Feeling anxious, I look down at the mountains below.
Two hours of sleep, seven more 'til the show
Having only two hours of sleep, with seven more hours until the performance.
I pray to the goddess of coffee to keep me alive
I appeal to the metaphorical goddess of coffee to help me stay alert and alive.
The crew's getting wasted, we're back in the sky
The crew is indulging in alcohol, and we are back in the sky.
I join in the fray, 'coz the rules don't apply
I actively participate because rules seem irrelevant in this context.
"Who cares anyway - when we're all gonna fry!"
Nonchalantly expressing indifference, acknowledging potential danger.
But somehow we manage to land and we all have survived...
Despite the chaos, we successfully land, and everyone survives.
And the curtains are falling and the legions are calling tonight
The end of an event is marked, and supporters are beckoning.
And the curtains are falling and the legions are calling tonight
Reiteration of the closure and the call from the devoted fans.
Have to fly away, though I'd rather stay
Expressing the need to depart, though a desire to linger exists.
That's the price you pay, that's the game we play
Highlighting the unavoidable sacrifices and risks in the chosen profession.
When roaring to life the engines are loud
The engines come to life loudly, reminiscent of memories and crowd cheers.
The mem'ries of you and the sound of the crowd
Recollections of the past, but they diminish as the journey continues.
They're fading away as we break through the clouds
As we ascend through the clouds, memories fade away.
But I don't complain when we're back on the ground and alive...
No complaints when safely back on the ground and alive.
And the curtains are falling and the legions are calling tonight
Emphasizing the symbolic closure, with fans eagerly calling for an encore.
And the curtains are falling and the legions are calling tonight
Reiteration of the ending, underscoring the persistent call from the audience.
