Whiskey
Revelations in Libations: A Journey of Freedom
Lyrics
There are those who follow leaders
Reflection on those who obediently follow leaders.
There are those in high command
Recognition of individuals in positions of authority.
There are those who look up to the stars
Acknowledgment of those who gaze at the stars seeking understanding.
And beg to understand
Expression of a plea for comprehension and insight.
There are those who kneel, those who pray
Recognition of various forms of devotion, including kneeling and praying.
There are those of high degree
Acknowledgment of individuals of high social status.
There are those who find enlightenment
Recognition of those who attain enlightenment where it has always existed.
Where it was and will always be
Emphasis on a timeless source of enlightenment.
So let me go where the glasses flow
Desire to go to a place where drinks are abundant.
With whiskey after whiskey by the score
Yearning for a setting with an overflowing supply of whiskey.
By the score
Reiteration of the abundance of whiskey by the score.
So let me go where the glasses flow
Reiteration of the desire to be where drinks abundantly flow.
With whiskey after whiskey
Expressing a continuous longing for whiskey.
Evermore
Emphasis on an enduring desire for whiskey.
Now I am young and in my prime
Statement about being young and at the peak of life.
And well upon my way
Indication of progress on one's life journey.
To where the bonds of servitude
Anticipation of breaking free from servitude and yearning.
and longing now will break and fall away
Expectation of liberation from constraints and desires.
Oh I am going to that warm shebeen
Reference to a warm shebeen, a social gathering place for drinks.
Where the ones I love will be
Desire to be with loved ones in the mentioned social setting.
And there’s always someone who will send
Expectation of someone sharing a bottle in the social gathering.
A bottle full to me
Anticipation of receiving a full bottle from someone in the gathering.
