| Eddie Vedder – Long Nights Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
[Lyrics] Have no fear For when I'm alone I'll be better off than I was before I've got this light I'll be around to grow Who I was before I cannot recall [Interpretation] Daytime. Surrounded by people, yet alone. Putting up a brave face. "Wearing the mask" (like Paul Laurence Dunbar). Reassuring myself. [Lyrics] Long nights allow me to feel... I'm falling...I am falling The lights go out [Interpretation] Night-time. Literally alone. Solitude allows me to shed the pretence of braveness, allows me to be vulnerable. Feel helpless - falling in the abyss. [Lyrics] Let me feel I'm falling I am falling safely to the ground Ah... [Interpretation] An act of utter desperation - a prayer. "Please extend a helping hand" [Lyrics] I'll take this soul that's inside me now Like a brand new friend [Interpretation] My unconquerable spirit is my best friend henceforth. [Lyrics] I'll forever know I've got this light And the will to show I will always be better than before [Interpretation] I have my unbreakable spirit. Each tomorrow I will strive to be better than what I am today. |
