Nightly Reflections: Finding Peace in the Waves of Eliza EdenLyrics
I come here at night with one fight in mind
I come to this place at night with a specific conflict or struggle in my thoughts.
You come here to listen and sometimes to lie
You come here to listen, and at times, to tell untruths.
And that's alright
Acceptance of the fact that it's okay.
That's alright
Reiteration of the acceptance that everything is okay.
One line
A single statement or thought.
Two minds somewhere in between fine
Two individuals with conflicting thoughts, possibly uncertain or not fully resolved.
There's a smile to your eyes and I'm fine when it speaks
Despite the ambiguity, there's comfort in the smile reflected in your eyes, and I feel fine when you express yourself.
I am fine
Reiteration of feeling fine.
Hospital lights blinded your eyes
Reference to a challenging or intense situation symbolized by hospital lights blinding someone's eyes.
But the waves they are crashing
Despite the difficulties, the waves (challenges) are present and inevitable.
They'll take you to sea
These challenges will lead you to uncharted territories, symbolized by the sea.
But everything's fine (alright alright alright alright)
Expression of reassurance that despite challenges, everything is fine and acceptable.
We're alright
A reaffirmation that "we" (the individuals involved) are alright.
I have dreams I can fly
Personal aspirations or desires to achieve something extraordinary, like flying in dreams.
Only five feet from the ground
A limitation or a sense of being grounded despite the dreams of flying.
If I see you in the street I won't greet you
A reluctance to initiate contact if encountered in public unless the other person initiates the greeting.
Unless you do it first
Setting a condition for social interaction.
But everything's fine
Reiteration that despite everything, things are fine.
We're alright
Final reassurance that "we" are alright, concluding the song on a positive note.
