Flight
Rebuilding Dreams Amidst Urban Chaos
Lyrics
We lie in bed for days
We spend extended periods in bed.
Empty bottles consuming empty space
Used bottles take up the space around us.
I'm suffocating
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed.
If I go to you by train
Contemplating a journey to you.
It's forty-five blocks of seeing the same
The journey involves seeing the same things repeatedly.
Expressionless face
Encountering a lack of emotion in others.
Debris is falling from the burning sky
Dealing with the aftermath of a destructive event.
Ashes from a once luminous life
Ashes symbolize the remnants of a once bright life.
Burn a candle in the window so I know you're still alive
Light a candle to confirm the continued existence of a loved one.
Breathing but dead inside
Physically alive but emotionally dead.
Let's help each other bake this bread
Mutual support in facing challenges.
There's nothing I'd rather be doing instead
No better alternative than being together.
I hear there's a full moon rising
Reference to a rising full moon, possibly indicating a cycle of challenges.
It's the same thing every night
A repetitive and monotonous existence.
The gunshots sing and the people scream
Urban chaos with gunshots and people in distress.
The harmonies of this city
The city's dissonant yet harmonious sounds.
Well I'm not happy either
Expressing discontent or unhappiness.
Let's tear this one down
Suggesting a desire to dismantle the current situation.
Rebuild on virgin ground
Advocating for a fresh start on untainted ground.
A new life begins
Anticipation of a new beginning.
