Another Night
Echoes of Choices: A Night of Fading Dreams and Unspoken Desires
Lyrics
I've got this feeling now
I currently experience a particular emotion
That everything's the same
A sense that everything remains unchanged
Another night with one foot out the door
Another night where one is ready to leave
You hear the sound of those familiar polyphonic chords
Hearing the familiar polyphonic chords signifies a familiar situation
No need to say his name
No need to mention a person's name
You'll hear his shaking breath
Hearing the person's shaky breath
And before he speaks you know just what he'll say
Anticipating what the person will say before they speak
"Can we do this some other day"
The person suggests postponing the current activity
But he don't even know what he wants to do
The person is uncertain about their desires
But he'll just drink alone 'till it all falls through
The person resorts to drinking alone until things collapse
You need a better reason, yeah you said it too
A better reason is needed, as acknowledged
But I just kinda hope that you find one too
Expressing hope for the person to find their own reasons
But I don't know which way to go
Feeling lost, unsure of the right direction
Should I head west or stay back home
Contemplating whether to go west or stay home
This obsessions killing me
An obsession is causing distress
Wasted words and faded dreams
Communication is futile, dreams are fading
She just can't do this now
Someone is unable to handle the current situation
She won't bring nobody down
She won't let problems affect others
The party moves her problems to the shelf
Partying as a temporary escape from issues
She'll never tell, behind her smile, she hides a darker self
Behind a smile hides a darker self
Her grip is giving out
Struggling to hold on, realizing the need to leave
She knows that she can't stay
She acknowledges she can't stay
Before she leaves she'll lie and she'll say
Lying about the ability to endure for one more day
I can do this for one more day
Uncertain about what she wants to do
But she don't even know what she wants to do
Drinking alone, leading to a collapse
But when she drinks alone, yeah it all falls through
A better reason is needed, as acknowledged
You need a better reason, yeah we said it too
Expressing hope for finding a better reason
But I just kinda hope that you find one too
Feeling lost, unsure of the right direction
But I don't know which way to go
Contemplating whether to go west or stay home
Should I head west or stay back home
An obsession is causing distress
This obsessions killing me
Communication is futile, dreams are fading
Wasted words and faded dreams
Expressing a desperate search for a reason
I'm screaming out, just to find that reason
The reason for staying is breaking down
It's breaking down, what was my reason to stay
Questioning the coherence of the pieces of life
With it all laid out now, not sure the pieces fit
Attempting to reach out but anticipating unpreparedness
I tried to call you but I'm sure you're not ready for it
Uncertain about the right direction
But I don't know which way to go
Contemplating whether to go west or stay home
Should I head west or stay back home
An obsession is causing distress
This obsessions killing me
Communication is futile, dreams are fading
Wasted words and faded dreams
Expressing the need to leave immediately
They've got to leave right now
Feeling the urgency to leave without delay
Don't want to make them wait
Not wanting to keep others waiting
Another night with one foot out the door
Another night ready to leave
You'll hear the sound
Hearing a familiar sound, indicating experience
And know that they've been through it all before
Recognizing that others have been through similar struggles
