Days Crawl By
Embracing Silence: Navigating Isolation in The Looneys' 'Days Crawl By'
Lyrics
I'm just sitting here starin' out the window at the empty streets outside
I'm observing the empty streets outside through the window.
The city's never been so quiet, but under a heavy foot of snow
The city is unusually quiet due to heavy snowfall.
A fresh new year is blooming, The birds they are returning, The springtime sun is shining bright
A new year has begun, with signs of spring - birds returning and bright sunlight.
But there's trouble in the air, and I'm locked down alone with no end in sight
Despite the positive signs, there's a sense of trouble, feeling isolated with no resolution in sight.
And the days crawl by
Expressing the slow passage of time.
Is it Monday, is Tuesday, is it Wednesday, Thursday, I don't even know
Uncertainty about the days of the week due to a monotonous routine.
And the days crawl by
Reiteration of the slow progression of time.
Does it even matter when you got no one to see, no place to go
Questioning the significance of time when there's no one to meet or nowhere to go.
Well, guess I'll drink another whiskey, watch some TV, maybe call my ma
Contemplating drinking, watching TV, and calling family to alleviate boredom.
See if she's behaving, staying home, isn't feeling too alone
Checking on family, ensuring they are well and not feeling lonely.
And the days crawl by
Reiteration of the slow passage of time.
Is it Monday, is Tuesday, is it Wednesday, Thursday, I don't wanna know
Expressing a disinterest in knowing the specific day due to the repetitive nature of the days.
And the days crawl by
Emphasizing the tediousness of time without meaningful activities or destinations.
Does it even matter when you got nothing to do, no place to go
Questioning the importance of time when there's nothing to do or nowhere to be.
Babe, when this is over we gonna jump into the car and take a drive
Looking forward to a future when the current situation is over, planning a drive with a loved one.
As long as I got you by my side, it don't matter where we go
Emphasizing the importance of companionship over the destination during the drive.
We'll drive around the city, out to the country, our windows open wide
Imagining a scenic drive through the city and countryside with open windows.
Breathe in the air more deeply than we ever done before
Anticipating a deeper appreciation for life and the environment after the challenging period.
And the days crawl by
Reiteration of the slow passage of time.
Is it Monday, is Tuesday, is it Wednesday, Thursday, I don't even know
Indifference towards knowing the specific day due to the repetitive and slow nature of time.
And the days crawl by
Reiteration of the tediousness of time without meaningful activities or destinations.
Does it even matter when you got no one to see, no place to go
Questioning the significance of time when there's no one to meet or nowhere to go.
