Only One Reason
Unveiling Life's Sole Purpose through All About Eve's Melodic Revelation
Lyrics
If there's Sunday in their eyes
If there's a sense of hope or optimism in their eyes, perhaps associated with a positive outlook or anticipation.
And they can't disguise it
They are unable to hide or conceal this hopeful or optimistic feeling.
Half-sick of shadows grayer
Feeling partially tired or weary of gloom and darkness that is even more pronounced than what the fair Elaine experiences.
Than the fair Elaine knows
Comparing the shadows in one's life to those experienced by the fair Elaine, who is often associated with Arthurian legends and represents purity.
It's four hours after twelve
Referring to a specific time, four hours after midnight.
And you're scared of yourself
Feeling apprehensive or frightened about one's own thoughts or actions.
Feeling so afraid
Experiencing intense fear, resembling the fear felt by a child during an air raid.
Like a child in an air-raid
Feeling vulnerable and scared, reminiscent of a child facing danger during wartime.
And if there's only one reason
Expressing the idea that even if there is just one compelling reason to live in the world.
To live in this world
Continuation of the idea from line 10, emphasizing the search for a meaningful reason to exist.
I'll find it
Committing to finding and holding onto that one significant reason to live.
And if there's only one reason
Reiteration of the search for a single important reason, now focused on giving of oneself.
To give of yourself
If there is only one reason to offer oneself to others, it will be discovered and embraced.
Ask the lonely and the dying
Suggesting that the lonely and the dying can provide insight into the essential reasons for living and giving.
If you're drowning in the doubt
Feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty and indecision.
As the candle goes out
As a candle extinguishes, symbolizing the end, possibly of hope or life.
Faces at the window
Imagery of faces appearing at the window, possibly representing external influences or judgments.
And a whispering that won't go
A persistent whispering that refuses to fade away, possibly representing negative thoughts or criticisms.
Focus on the dawn
Directing attention to the beginning of a new day and the potential for positive change.
And the promise of morning
Focusing on the promise of a brighter future that comes with the morning.
Look ahead of winter
Encouraging a forward-looking perspective, beyond the metaphorical winter of difficult times.
Let the breath of summer into you
Invoking the imagery of summer, associated with warmth and positivity, as a contrast to the hardships of winter.
They're always waiting for morning
People are consistently anticipating the arrival of morning, a metaphor for hope and positive change.
Always waiting for light to come around
Repetition of the theme of waiting for light and positive outcomes.
Always waiting for morning
Continued emphasis on the expectation of a brighter future, reinforcing the importance of hope.
And the light to come shining in
Reiterating the perpetual hope for morning and the arrival of light as a symbol of positive transformation.
