Nocturnal Animals
Nocturnal Reflections: Unveiling the Shadows in Vincent Picasso's Melody
Lyrics
Close your eyes and count to ten
Invitation to introspection and anticipation, preparing for an experience.
It's got you deep down
Immersed or entangled deeply in a situation or emotion.
Deep down in the lion's den
A metaphorical reference to a challenging or risky situation, symbolized by a lion's den.
Came on by, start at the start
Encouraging to revisit the beginning or origin.
Promise used, smile that could break your heart
A commitment made, accompanied by a charming yet heartbreaking smile.
Ooo baby maybe new tricks are risky
Suggesting the exploration of new, potentially risky endeavors.
In doubt shots of whisky
In moments of uncertainty, resorting to coping mechanisms like alcohol.
Help the pain realize
Recognition and acknowledgment of pain.
It's the fire in your eyes
The intensity or passion reflected in one's eyes.
They don't make us feel safe
Challenging the conventional notion that certain things make us feel secure.
But that's what they like
Acknowledging a preference for what may not be traditionally safe.
Free us, heed this call
A call for liberation, asking to pay attention and respond.
When they say
Introduction to a directive or instruction.
Blink maestro
A command to close one's eyes swiftly, like a conductor directing a performance.
Take down walls, let them in
Encouragement to break down emotional barriers and welcome others.
Feel the wire on your skin
Sensory experience, feeling the tension or excitement.
When it starts breaking your mind
When challenges or stress affect mental well-being.
Then it hurts to let them in
The difficulty of allowing others into one's emotional space.
Ooo maybe hating those fallen fighters
Considering the risks and challenges faced by those who have fought and fallen.
Out there in defiance
Respecting those in defiance or opposition to prevailing norms.
Help the pain subside, we're all just alike
Request to alleviate pain by recognizing commonality among individuals.
We don't make them feel safe
Challenging the idea that certain actions make others feel secure.
'Cause that's what we like
A mirror of line 11, expressing a preference for what may not be conventionally safe.
Hear us, free this call
Repetition of the call for attention and response.
When we say blink maestro
Reiteration of the conductor's command to close eyes swiftly.
Then maybe all of this is not
Doubt about the conformity or alignment with expected norms.
What it's supposed to be
Questioning the purpose or intended nature of the situation.
You're setting sights on the initial
Focusing on initial goals or aspirations that may seem unattainable.
Things are out of reach
Acknowledging challenges or obstacles that are beyond reach.
So tell all, everybody
Encouragement to disclose and share with everyone.
How we're born to lie
Acknowledging the tendency to deceive or present a false image.
Stop this altercation
Advocating for an end to conflicts or disputes.
We are the night
Embracing the identity or characteristics associated with the night.
Hear the call
Repeating the call for attention and response.
Nocturnal animal
Identification with nocturnal animals, symbolizing a connection to the night.
Hear the call
Repetition of the call, emphasizing the nocturnal nature.
Nocturnal animal
Continuation of the call, reinforcing the nocturnal identity.
Hear the call
Reiteration of the call, underscoring the nocturnal aspect.
Nocturnal animal
Final repetition of the call, emphasizing the identity as nocturnal animals.
Hear the call
Repeating the call for attention and response.
Nocturnal animals
Final declaration, solidifying the identity as nocturnal animals.
