Closed Eyes
Finding Home Amidst Uncertainty
Lyrics
I ran up to the rooftops
The singer ascends to the rooftops, metaphorically moving upwards.
I can't see but I want to
Despite lacking sight, there's a desire to perceive.
How far to the next town
Asking about the distance to the next destination or town.
How long till I reach you
Questioning the duration until reaching someone or something.
I know that I'm getting close
Recognition of nearing the destination, albeit feeling slow.
But it feels too slow
Despite progress, it seems to be advancing sluggishly.
I know that I've come so far
Acknowledging the distance traveled, yet not reaching home.
But I'm still not home
Expressing a desire for assurance amidst recent hardships.
Promise me I won't be lost in the conflict of everything I've been through lately
Seeking reassurance about not losing oneself in recent struggles.
It's hard to see everything clearly from the city streets so I close my eyes, I close my eyes
Difficulty perceiving clearly amidst urban chaos, hence closing eyes metaphorically.
I sit down and I let go
Sitting down and releasing control or tension willingly.
It's good now cause I want to
Feeling content and at peace with the current state of affairs.
I won't ask for the next town
Choosing not to inquire about the next destination.
But how long till I reach you
Still curious about the duration until reaching the intended person or goal.
I know that I'm getting close
Sensing proximity to the goal but finding progress slow.
But it feels too slow
Despite advancement, it feels like progress is sluggish.
I know that I've come so far
Acknowledging significant progress, yet still far from the destination.
But I'm still not home
Feeling a lack of belonging or being 'home' despite the journey.
I know there's a lot to fix
Awareness of numerous issues to resolve, understanding they take time.
And it all takes time
Understanding that fixing things requires patience.
But I can't stay patient, I can't stay patient
Feeling impatient despite the understanding of requiring patience.
Promise me I won't be lost in the conflict of everything I've been through lately
Seeking reassurance again amid recent challenging experiences.
It's hard to see everything clearly from the city streets so I close my eyes, I close my eyes
Struggling to gain clarity amidst urban chaos, choosing to close eyes metaphorically.
I can't see ten miles ahead, only the ground
Unable to foresee the future, only focused on immediate surroundings.
I can't see the stars up above me, only the clouds
Unable to perceive the beauty or higher aspects, only seeing obstacles.
But still I keep moving
Continuing to move forward despite limitations in sight.
