Crawling Towards the Sun
Crawling Shadows: Unveiling the Hidden Journey Toward the Sun
Lyrics
Carousels make laps each night
Carousels symbolize repetitive cycles, possibly reflecting life's routines.
Like drunks we spin until we're sick
Metaphorically compares life to drunken spinning, implying disorientation or confusion.
Creepy clowns from one-horse towns
Reference to unsettling or eccentric individuals thriving in small, isolated communities.
Can make their livings on a trick
Highlights the ability of peculiar characters to sustain themselves through deceptive means.
Night covers all our tracks
Night conceals actions, allowing deceptive practices to go unnoticed.
To break some fragile backs
Suggests a willingness to harm vulnerable individuals for personal gain.
So we tell some lies
Acknowledges the use of lies to achieve personal objectives.
Then we hide from light
Describes hiding from the truth or consequences in the shadows.
One night I fell asleep
Transition to a personal experience of awakening or realization.
And woke up on that sunny street
The sunny street represents a positive change or newfound clarity.
At first I thought I couldn't
Initial disbelief in the positive change experienced during sleep.
But now I see
Acceptance and realization of the positive transformation.
That the shadows kept me hidden
Shadows symbolize hidden aspects, shielding the speaker from personal growth or enlightenment.
From the light that calls my name
The light represents a transformative force that the speaker is now aware of.
All the creatures stood above me
Imagery of beings observing the speaker, possibly symbolic of judgment or influence.
Now I'm crawling towards the sun
Expresses a commitment to personal growth, moving towards a positive direction.
Candy lips that taste so sweet
Sweet lips turning sour suggests the disillusionment of once-pleasant experiences.
Were sour in the summer heat
Metaphor for the contrast between expectation and reality, especially in challenging circumstances.
As the night fell, I heard church bells
Church bells signaling the end of something, possibly a metaphor for the end of deceptive practices.
Says it's time to leave
Indication to move on from the past or negative influences.
Out on the town we went
Engaging in activities or tasks with a purpose or objective.
To carry out missions
Collaborative efforts to achieve goals, potentially hinting at a shared journey.
Neither you or I
Recognition that both the speaker and others involved may remain in the shadows.
Would ever know sunlight
Emphasis on the perpetual absence of sunlight, representing a lack of true enlightenment or positive change.
In the night light we still shine bright
Despite the challenges, the speaker asserts their resilience and ability to shine brightly in the night.
