Lonely Crowd
Navigating Midnight: A Journey Through Broken Glass and Unbroken Bonds
Lyrics
The rain was bouncing off the windshield
The rain creates a bouncing effect on the windshield, suggesting a turbulent atmosphere.
The clock read almost midnight
The clock indicates it's nearly midnight, emphasizing the late hour and possibly a sense of urgency.
As we drive though this desolate town
Driving through a deserted town, evoking a feeling of isolation and emptiness.
We go to the place that we know the best
Heading to a familiar place, implying seeking comfort or solace in a known location.
There was shattered glass on the pavement
Shattered glass on the pavement suggests a broken or troubled environment.
We made it past another week and we're
Surviving another challenging week, reaching a point of emotional exhaustion.
At our wit's last end
At wit's end, indicating a state of stress or emotional strain.
But it's time to raise glasses with our best friends
Despite challenges, it's time to celebrate with close friends, raising glasses.
Save me from the man that I've become I
The speaker pleads for salvation from the undesirable person they've become.
Think that we should run through all the city streets
Suggesting a desire to escape and explore the city streets together.
And when you come back down, you come and bring me
A plea for the person to return and bring the speaker back to a sense of belonging.
Home sick for all the days that we've missed
Feeling homesick for missed days, expressing a longing for the past.
And we'll line all our pockets with forgiveness
Planning to fill their lives with forgiveness, symbolized by lining pockets.
When you come back down, you come and bring me home
Reiteration of the desire for the person to return and provide a sense of home.
Look around at the lonely crowd
Observing a lonely crowd, highlighting a sense of disconnection among people.
The same faces never leave this town
The repetition of faces in the town suggests a lack of change or progress.
It's a hard life but a good life
Life is challenging but deemed good, with a collective hope of making mothers proud.
All hoping we made our mothers proud
A shared aspiration among the crowd to fulfill parental expectations.
And we're all homeless, tired and broke
Everyone is collectively experiencing homelessness, fatigue, and financial struggles.
Got lines of baggage, we're lonely and soaked
Carrying emotional baggage, feeling lonely and soaked, possibly in troubles or hardships.
But if we make it through today
If the challenges of the day are overcome, there's a reason to continue and stay.
Then there's a reason left to stay
An affirmation that finding a reason to stay makes enduring the difficulties worthwhile.
