Better Now
Finding Light in Shadows: The Cherries' Journey Through Change
Lyrics
I walked her home
Describing the action of accompanying someone to their home
We're on our own
Being independent or self-reliant
She ponders as it passes her
Reflecting on thoughts while something passes by her near the road
By the road
Adjacent to the road
Same old nights
Typical nights that remain unchanged
Shining lights
Bright lights, possibly symbolic of a lively or bustling environment
She breathes cold air when talking around me
Experiencing a cold sensation while conversing in her presence
The stars they stare as snow falls to her glasses
Stars observing her while snow settles on her glasses
Triple stripes
Referring to a pattern or design, possibly indicating consistency
Through building sites
Passing through areas under construction
She's problematic when she’s around me
She brings challenges or difficulties when around
The dice has changed, now we’re out of chances
Opportunity or luck has changed, leading to no more chances
When you ask your questions
Assurance of having answers when questioned
I'll know the answers
Belief in the inevitability of change over time
They say that time will always change
Not predetermined, subject to change
It’s not set stone
Understanding or realization of a current situation
But now I know
Realization that the situation has improved compared to before
That we’re better now
Emphasizing the improvement in the present state
(But we're better now)
Reiteration of the improved state
She walks alone
Walking independently to her home
Straight to her home
Comprehending or understanding the situation better now
She understands it better now
Being self-reliant or alone in her understanding
She’s on her own
Emphasizing lack of answers when questioned
When you ask your questions
Reiteration of the belief in the changing nature of time
I won’t have the answers
Reaffirmation of the non-fixed nature of time
They say that time will always change
Confirmation of the improved understanding of the situation
It’s not set stone
Reaffirming the fluidity of time and change
But now I know
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of improvement in the present
When you ask your questions
Repeating the lack of answers when questioned
I won’t have the answers
Reaffirmation of the belief in the changing nature of time
They say that time will always change
Restating the idea that time is not fixed and is subject to change
It’s not set stone
Reiteration of the understanding of the fluidity of time and change
But now I know
Confirming the improvement in the present state
That we’re better now
Emphasizing the enhanced condition in the current situation
(But we're better now)
Reaffirmation of the improved state
(But we're better now)
Further emphasis on the present improved condition
(But we're better now)
Reiteration of the enhanced current state
(But we're better now)
Continued emphasis on the improved situation
