A song about writer’s block, although it’s not clear what he’s writing.

Probably a term paper.

“So close. Not a Term Paper, though. It’s about writing a song…”

"The song “25 or 6 to 4” appeared on “Chicago II” and was written by organist/vocalist Robert Lamm. Lamm says it’s simpler than that. “The song is about writing a song. It’s not mystical,” he says. Take a look at some of the lyrics: “Waiting for the break of day — He’s been up all night and now it’s getting close to sunrise. Searching for something to say — Trying to think of song lyrics. Flashing lights against the sky — Perhaps stars or the traditional flashing neon hotel sign. Giving up I close my eyes — He’s exhausted and his eyes hurt from being open too long, so he closes them. Staring blindly into space — This expression can be seen often on the faces of writers and reporters. Trust me. Getting up to splash my face — Something you do when you’re trying to stay awake, though a good cup of Starbuck’s does wonders for Cecil and me. Wanting just to stay awake, wondering how much I can take — How far can he push himself to get the song done? Should I try to do some more? — This is the line that makes many think it’s a drug song. But it is just as easily construed as a frustrated writer wondering if he should try to do some more lyrics/songwriting.”

Spot on, Although there are other metaphoric qualities to that track, for example I suffer from acute insomnia. It reminds me a lot of that

I did say metaphorically* not literally ^^

Songs have always been open to interpretation. Much like music, art, and many other things :fox_face:

ps. I think I actually injured my back falling down that roof the other day…hurts to shift even a quarter inch in either direction shoulder-wise… ><

A lot of the magic happens in the space between the creator and the observer. Each of us brings our own lived experience to seeing or hearing a work. We can all read the same book, watch the same movie, or hear the same song and take something different away from it.
