I live in the bright light, Walking in the dark
Midnight, Skin pale from the street light, Kill time
Nothing to do, Inside looking outside, Clawing
At the door shut tight, You can't run and you can't hide
White lies fearing the truth
See ghost in the shadow Living in the past feel cold
While trying to remember Time is stealing my youth
Still trapped on the inside Wearing regret skin tight
Like fire on the outside. All gone nothing in view
Time is nothing when you've nothing to do. Don't you
Know you can't hide something When it's living in you
I live in bright light Living in the past shut tight
Skin pale from the street light, White lies stealing my
Youth. See ghost in the shadow Clawing at the door midnight
You can't run and you can't hide, All gone fearing the truth
Time is nothing when you've nothing to do Don't you know
You can't hide something When it's living in you

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about living in regret & doubt as your life seems to be withering away.You notice just how much darker the quarters of your mind become, how much paler your skin turns, how much more you blend into the shadows as you sink lower into yourself and into the nothingness of nonexistence.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
