Cityscape Reflections: A Journey Through Urban Memories
Lyrics
Well I was thinking about
Reflecting on thoughts
How the sun through the clouds
Noticing sunlight breaking through clouds
Has a sparkle like a silver screen
Comparing sunlight to a cinematic sparkle
Playing all the pictures I don't wanna see
Imagining unwanted memories like a movie
Everything that's ever had its way with me
Recalling past experiences that influenced
From memory
Recalling from memory
Like when I was roaming the street
Remembering wandering streets
Looking for something to eat
Searching for food
And something that might soothe my soul
Seeking solace for the soul
Found some drinking buddies and they got me stoned
Finding drinking companions leading to intoxication
End up in an alley and I'm on my own
Ending up alone in an alley
Vomit on my shoes, I lean against the road and pass out cold
Experiencing a low point with vomit and passing out
Well sometimes we are sleeping and sometimes we are awake
Highlighting the duality of sleeping and waking
But we won't reach out for each other, 'cause that would be a mistake
Avoiding connection to prevent mistakes
Hold me underwater or hold me until I break
Suggesting self-destructive tendencies
'Cause I don't wanna keep believing in something you wouldn't say
Doubting beliefs in unspoken truths
And on the island that day
Recalling a significant day on an island
When I told you I'd stay
Promising to stay if given love
If you would only give your heart to me
Expressing efforts in vain
Oh we really tried, but it was not to be
Trying but failing in the relationship
Rather keep me as a happy memory
Opting to be a cherished memory
Better for the both of us to just be free
Choosing freedom for both
Back on my feet
Recovering and moving forward
