Abra continued to work on her next studio album "No Fear", while contributing songs to several soundtracks. Amidst rumors of creative differences and contractual conflicts, she changed management and recording companies and the album was eventually shelved, although her record label did release promo copies. Most of the songs later appeared in slightly altered versions on her latest album, "Everything Changed" (2004) released on Koch Records.
Big Sky
Abra Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tired of the freaks and the colored lights.
Come on Come on the night is young.
It's too late to change your mind, you can't turn back now.
So high, so high just you and me and the big sky.
Close the door and shut off the lights
6 o'clock we'll be taking flight.
Tell everyone were gone and we won't come back.
So high just you and me and the big sky
That's all we are, that's all we are, It's all forever
So your tired of this crazy crazy life
And no one can save you
How long how long can this go on
You only get one chance and then your gone.
It's all right, it's all right
That's all we are, that's all we are, It's all forever.
The lyrics to Abra Moore's song Big Sky touch on the themes of escapism, the temporary nature of life, and the desire to break free from perception. The song's opening lines speak of being tired of a "circus life," and the "freaks and the colored lights." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling trapped in a cycle of repetitive, meaningless existence. The singer urges someone to come with them, promising adventure and excitement with the night being young. However, it's "too late to change your mind," and there's no turning back now, indicating a sense of urgency to escape.
The song's refrain, "So high just you and me and the big sky," can be interpreted as liberation from societal restrictions and the feeling of being set free into the vast open sky. The line "Tell everyone were gone and we won't come back" further emphasizes the desire to escape and start anew. The song's bridge touches on the temporary nature of life, citing the fact that "you only get one chance and then your gone." The final lines, "It's all right, it's all right, That's all we are, that's all we are, It's all forever," could suggest a mellowed acceptance of transience.
