Another Life
Chasing Dragons in Another Life: A Moonlit Journey with The Snake Preachers
Lyrics
I was on a Chinese barge last night
I spent time on a Chinese barge recently.
I was baying at the moon
I was howling or expressing loudly under the moon.
And I could see the Hong Kong harbor lights
I could see the lights of the Hong Kong harbor.
And we were chasing dragons in the captain's room
We were engaged in pursuing something elusive in the captain's room, possibly a metaphorical reference to challenges.
Ahooo Ahoo
Repetitive expression, possibly emphasizing a feeling or experience.
I was lost at sea - You were holding me
I was adrift at sea, and someone (you) was comforting me.
In the broken light - in another life
In a dimly lit environment, possibly symbolizing difficulties, in a different existence or time.
You were dressed like Chairman Mao last night
You were dressed like Chairman Mao, possibly indicating a political or ideological connection.
And we were baying at the Moon
We were vocalizing loudly under the moon again.
We were counting stars in the southern sky
We were stargazing in the southern sky.
And we were chasing dragons from a dirty black metal spoon
We were dealing with challenges, represented by chasing dragons from a dirty black metal spoon.
Ahooo Ahoo
Repetition, possibly emphasizing a recurring emotional state.
I was lost at sea - You were holding me
Similar to line 7, expressing a sense of being lost and someone offering support.
In the broken light - in another life
In challenging circumstances, possibly illuminated by broken light, in a different life.
And the harbor lights go down when you are near
The harbor lights dim when you are close, suggesting a shift in perspective or emotions.
And Best of all I realized we were both ones here
Realization that both individuals involved are unique or special in their own ways.
In the moonlight - in another life
In the moonlight, possibly indicating a romantic or reflective setting in another existence.
In the moonlight - in another life
Repetition of the previous line, reinforcing the moonlit atmosphere in an alternative life.
In Another Life ... In Another Life...
Reiteration of being in another life, emphasizing a sense of longing or alternate reality.
