Alibi
Embracing Dreams: Unveiling the Alibi Within
Lyrics
The lights are going down
The lights dimming, possibly symbolizing the end of something.
In every city town
Reference to a universal experience of fading lights in towns.
But you’ll be fast asleep
Despite external changes, you find peace in sleep.
There’s no one that can keep
No one can interfere with or hinder your dreams.
The dream out of your heart
The dreams are deeply ingrained in your heart.
And when you fall apart
Even in times of emotional breakdown, stay strong.
Just hold your head up high
Encouragement to maintain dignity in difficult times.
You have an alibi in me
The singer serves as a supportive alibi in challenging situations.
Can’t compromise me for you
Refusal to compromise personal values for others.
That kind of trade would never do
Rejecting a trade-off that goes against personal principles.
Wearing shoes that don’t quite fit
Metaphor for uncomfortable situations or relationships.
You lose yourself bit by bit
Warning about losing one's identity gradually.
Completely alone now, blank page beginning
Feeling isolated, starting anew with a blank slate.
Empty head the world is spinning
Overwhelmed mind, possibly with confusion or stress.
Control the strings, dancing puppet on a stage
Metaphor for feeling controlled or manipulated in life.
A cage
Feeling confined or restricted, like in a cage.
The lights are going down
Repetition of lights going down, emphasizing a recurring theme.
In every city town
Reiteration of the universal experience of lights fading.
But you’ll be fast asleep
Despite external changes, you find peace in sleep.
There’s no one that can keep
No one can interfere with or hinder your dreams.
The dream out of your heart
The dreams are deeply ingrained in your heart.
And when you fall apart
Even in times of emotional breakdown, stay strong.
Just hold your head up high
Encouragement to maintain dignity in difficult times.
You have an alibi in me
The singer serves as a supportive alibi in challenging situations.
Late in the afternoon
Describing a time in the afternoon, possibly a transitional phase.
The winter’s cold will soon
Winter's cold symbolically rewriting falsehoods of summer.
Rewrite the summer’s lies
The changing seasons revealing hidden truths.
With frozen alibis
Using frozen alibis to hide or protect oneself.
The lights are going down
Repetition of lights going down, emphasizing a recurring theme.
In every city town
Reiteration of the universal experience of lights fading.
But you’ll be fast asleep
Despite external changes, you find peace in sleep.
There’s no one that can keep
No one can interfere with or hinder your dreams.
The love out of your heart
The love is deeply ingrained in your heart.
And when you fall apart
Even in times of emotional breakdown, stay strong.
Just hold your head up high
Encouragement to maintain dignity in difficult times.
You have an alibi in me
The singer serves as a supportive alibi in challenging situations.
