Don't be
Navigating Shadows: Streetlights' Reflection on Parenthood
Lyrics
Do you remember the day
Reflecting on a past event or moment
When our kids went to play
Recalling a time when their children played
And you and I stayed home
Describing a moment when the couple stayed home
They were safe on their own.
Emphasizing the safety of their children alone
Do you remember the day
Repeating the question about remembering a day
When Vinnie ran away
Recalling an incident when someone named Vinnie ran away
And you and I stayed home and we prayed
Highlighting the worry and prayer when Vinnie was missing
That our little boy would wind up okay
Expressing hope for Vinnie's well-being
And if I'm being honest
Admitting honesty as a theme
Maybe that's what we need
Suggesting a need for something, perhaps honesty
The priest had come to tell us
Referring to a visit from a priest with news of freedom
That he had been set free
Implying a personal connection to the priest's message
And in that foggy forest
Referencing a foggy forest metaphorically
There's a little bit of me
Claiming a part of oneself in the metaphorical forest
And if I'm being honest
Reiterating honesty as a theme
It's not like we can't be
Asserting that they can be honest
If the days turned to years
Pondering the passage of time
And you were still at that phone
Imagining a scenario where one person is always waiting by the phone
Would you be something you couldn't be.
Questioning personal growth or change
Could you jump in the unknown
Challenging oneself to face the unknown
Could you make a game
Suggesting the creation of a game or challenge
For the hopeful to play
Creating a metaphorical game for hope
Of searching forests in any way
Emphasizing the search for answers in various ways
Then we'd know if he wanted to stay
Posing a question about someone's desires or choices
And if I'm being honest
Reiterating honesty as a theme
Maybe that's what we need
Suggesting a potential need for something honest
To run off to that forest
Proposing the idea of escaping to a forest
Where we could be set free
Desiring freedom or liberation in the forest
And in that hazy forest
Referencing a hazy forest metaphorically
There's a little bit of me
Claiming a part of oneself in the metaphorical forest
And if I'm being honest
Reiterating honesty as a theme
It's not like we can't be
Asserting that they can be honest
