Lewa Lani
Lewa Lani: A Musical Odyssey Through Dreams and Homecoming
Lyrics
Days within my reign
Reflecting on a period of personal influence or control
I'd sneak outside my window
Recalling instances of secretly leaving through the window
My mother'd always catch me
Noticing disapproval from the mother for sneaking out
Footprints upon the sill
Leaving evidence of departure with footprints on the windowsill
She'd look out
Mother observing the departure
I'd run away
Choosing to escape or run away
Days within my reign
Reflecting on more days of personal influence or control
Days of wayward sorrow
Days marked by aimless sadness or distress
I'd go where none could follow
Choosing paths where others cannot follow
Notes from my radio
Receiving inspiration from music played on the radio
Adrift out into the day
Drifting away into the open, possibly in thought or imagination
Days come and go
Reflection on the passage of time
Suddenly I begin to see no difference between
Realizing a blurred distinction between solitude and love
A life alone and love
Suggesting a connection between life alone and the concept of love
And night and day
Blurring boundaries between night and day
So long I'm off to surf
Expressing departure for a surfing experience, metaphorical or real
My lewa lani
Referring to "Lewa Lani," possibly a personal or special place
Morning comes
Morning arrives, signaling a new beginning
Seems I can never put an end
Struggling to end a state of dreaming or imagination
To the dreaming
Anticipating a return to reality or normalcy
Soon I'll be back
Planning to greet with "Hiyo," indicating a return to familiarity
To say Hiyo
Expressing contentment in returning home
You know it feels quite nice
Highlighting the positive feeling of being back home
To be back home
Acknowledging a sense of belonging
Although
Despite returning home, recognizing the presence of others
Though I will never be alone
Acknowledging that the individual will never truly be alone
Days within my reign
Reflecting on continued personal influence or control
I'd sneak off into sundown
Sneaking away as the sun sets
Getting to know you
Getting acquainted with someone or something
Writing my songs
Engaging in creative expression through songwriting
Flower of the wall
Noticing a beautiful or significant detail ("flower on the wall")
I'm holding on
Holding on to something, possibly a cherished moment or memory
Look out along the way
Looking ahead or being watchful as one continues the journey
