Gravity
Geoff Farina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're only here for a shot time.
The will of windshields will win your way,
Despite disconnections and digits and dimes.
Not much going on?
Well, so be it.
Just pull songs from last years favorite bars.
Do they get played on Avenue A,
Profane fames and phantom paints
Disappear with rains down city drains,
But like Indian summers that hold on to their suns,
Only the best days remain.
One month short of a brand new spring,
Just close your eyes and let gravity do it's thing.
"Those were the days," you teased,
But none will stand up to these.
The lyrics of Geoff Farina's song Gravity convey a message of living in the moment with an acceptance of the transience of life. The opening lines suggest that life is short and that one should make the most of it. The "will of windshields" refers to the forces that shape our lives, even when we feel disconnected and alone. The mention of "digits and dimes" seems to allude to the materialism of our world, but the message of the song is not to accumulate wealth but rather to seize the moment and find joy in the simple things in life.
The second verse captures the essence of the song's message: to hold on to the memories of the best days and let go of the rest. The lyrics speak of "Indian summers," which are a metaphor for those unseasonably warm days that linger after summer has ended. The idea is that like those warm, lingering days, only the best memories will remain. The final lines of the song suggest that we should cherish the present moment and revel in it because it is the best time we will ever have.
Overall, the song seems to suggest that we should live in the present moment, appreciate the beauty in the ordinary things around us, and hold on to the memories of the best days. It's a message that can inspire us to live our lives more fully and with more gratitude.
