New Local Hero
Navigating Life's Turbulence: New Local Hero's Message
Lyrics
I've had a blinding afternoon
I had an overwhelmingly positive afternoon.
And an eye-opening evening
I experienced something enlightening during the evening.
Or to put it in more recent terms
Putting it more recently, I had a terrible night.
A miserable night
Referring to a recent unpleasant night.
And I've spoken way too soon
I spoke prematurely or too quickly.
You could try and get a word in
Suggesting someone else can share their thoughts.
You could pull your stain glass curtain
Metaphorically, one can close themselves off from the world.
Or you could just accept the light
Alternatively, one can embrace the truth or reality.
Ship is going down without its captain
The situation is dire without its leader or guide.
Ship is going down
Emphasizing the impending downfall of a situation.
Spring into action
Encouraging immediate action.
Routine reaction
A predictable response to a situation.
Leave your grace by the shoes in the hall
Suggesting leaving behind one's pride or dignity.
And now we're shouting through the laughter
Communicating amidst joyous moments.
You've made your beds now prove them
Having to prove the validity of one's decisions.
Step out in front of old conclusions
Stepping forward beyond previous judgments.
And pray that one runs over you
Hoping that consequences catch up with you.
Do you think it's what I'm after?
Questioning if the current situation is desired.
Do you think it looks appealing?
Asking if it appears attractive or worthwhile.
Denim dreams and leather feelings
Describing a mix of casual and intense emotions.
Soaked in razor sharp perfume
Immersed in a potent and sharp sensory experience.
Ship is going down without its captain
Reiterating the dire state without a leader.
Ship is going down without its captain
Repeating the message of the ship's downfall.
Ship is going down without its captain
Emphasizing the crisis without its captain.
Ship is going down
Reiterating the impending doom of the ship.
Spring into action
Encouraging quick and decisive action.
Routine reaction
Anticipating a predictable response to the situation.
Leave your grace by the shoes in the hall
Leaving behind one's grace or dignity.
New local hero
Introducing a new character, a local hero.
Boy what does he know about anything at all?
Questioning the knowledge or understanding of the hero.
Ship is going down without its captain
Reiterating the ship's downfall without its captain.
Ship is going down without its captain
Stressing the imminent crisis without leadership.
Ship is going down without its captain
Highlighting the ship's impending doom.
All talk, no traction
Characterizing someone as all talk with no action.
