Existentialism on Prom Night
Existential Harmony: Dreaming, Balance, and the Fragility of Life
Lyrics
When the sun came up
Beginning of a new day
We were sleeping in
Waking up late, still in bed
Sunk inside our blankets
Comfortably wrapped in blankets
Sprawled across the bed
Lying across the bed
And we were dreaming
Transition to a dream state
There are moments when, when I know it ends
Awareness of moments when everything concludes
The world revolves around us
Feeling the world revolves around oneself
And we're keeping it, keeping it all going
Effort to sustain the delicate balance
This delicate balance
Reference to the fragile equilibrium
Vulnerable
Fragile and exposed
All knowing
Possessing complete knowledge
Sing like you think no one's listening
Expressing oneself freely without inhibition
You would kill for this
Willingness to sacrifice for passion
Just a little bit
Repetition emphasizing the intensity of expression
Just a little bit
-You would
-Sing like you think no one's listening
-You would kill for this
-Just a little bit
-Just a little bit
-You would (You would)
-Sing me something soft
Request for a tender song
Sad and delicate
Desiring something melancholic
Or loud and out of key
Accepting even tunes that are off-key or loud
Sing me anything
Openness to any form of expression
We're glad for what we've got
Appreciation for what is currently possessed
Done with what we've lost
Moving on from losses
Our whole lives laid out
Lives laid out before us
Right in front of us
In the present moment
Sing like you think no one's listening
Reiteration of singing freely and passionately
You would kill for this
-Just a little bit
-Just a little bit
-You would
-Sing like you think no one's listening
-You would kill for this
-Just a little bit
-Just a little bit
-You would, you would
-Sing me something soft
Request for emotional and expressive singing
Sad and delicate
Preference for sadness or delicacy
Or loud and out of key
Acceptance of songs regardless of perfection
Sing me anything
Openness to any form of musical expression
