nahreally & the expert - movement & light كلمات الأغنية
[verse: nahreally]
at night walking i’m reminded
every city window has a whole life behind it—
a full collection of hang ups and hopes
and banged up feelings and inside jokes
intermittent movement and emanating light
from a lamp or tv, the only proof of life
through windows wide open or shades pulled tight—
a life that surely looms large from the inside
lives stacked up in tall towers
squeezed in walk ups with 24 hours
to make ends meet and maybe even make meaning
often at the expense of sleeping or dreaming
i feel small from the sidewalk
my life shrinks, zooming out from my block
to my neighborhood, city, state, country, continent, and planet
i’m just a blip tryna manage
[chorus]
my little tiny life
seems to me to be of a certain size
but if you walk by my window at night
it’s just movement and light
my little tiny life
seems to me to be of a certain size
but if you walk by my window at night
it’s just movement and light
[verse: hemlock ernst]
the walls know all the windows hear. the gargoyles sneer
the gutters strain where the air vents, choking, gasp
steam rising from the window’s crack. the building, chain_smoking, laughs
at the elevator’s tricks, the radiator’s cl!ck
the cobwebs drift till the corners are swept finally
where mourners slept and widowed eyes wept silently
i wonder inside, how many inventions had their first breath?
how many babies took their first steps? how many left?
the old pipes sobbing. sentiments throbbing behind oaken doors
bursting through the drywall, creaking, slinking on broken floors
till pouring, staining inside out onto the brick facade
like me, its scars showing. look up at the stars knowing
there must be some great engine roaring inside this bas_m_nt
or is it nothingness and we forget sometimes emptiness
can be a strong foundation? the light and shadows pacing
close my eyes use my imagination
[chorus]
my little tiny life
seems to me to be of a certain size
but if you walk by my window at night
it’s just movement and light
my little tiny life
seems to me to be of a certain size
but if you walk by my window at night
it’s just movement and light
