Moment of Quiet
Embracing Silence: A Poetic Journey Through Dusk and Dreams
Lyrics
I waited all day, for the middle of night
Anticipation for a tranquil moment after waiting all day
A sweet thing, a moment of quiet
Desire for a peaceful, serene experience
We pine and pine, get turned inside out
Feeling emotional and turned inside out longing for tranquility
For a sweet thing, a moment of quiet
Reiteration of the longing for a serene moment
Dusk has laid it on so thick
Description of the setting, an atmosphere heavy with emotion
The trees hang low, looking so lovesick
Nature appearing affected by emotions, possibly mirroring the internal state
If you see what I see, you couldn't deny it
An invitation to perceive something beyond the surface
A moment of quiet
Emphasizing the significance of a moment of quiet
The lines on the wall ripple and sway
Observing changes in the environment, indicating a heightened awareness
A cutting look, a movement in darkness
Suggestive of tension or unease, noticing subtle movements
I don't want to play games, I don't want to keep score
Expressing a desire for honesty and sincerity, avoiding games or pretenses
Eyes on the sky, eyes on the floor
Contrasting focus between high and low, possibly alluding to inner conflict
Dusk has laid it on so thick
Reiteration of the heavy atmosphere of dusk
Saw the light on your face, but it was gone so quick
Noticing fleeting moments of beauty that disappear quickly
Ribbon of smoke so thick you could tie it
Metaphorically describing thick smoke, a sensory depiction
A moment of quiet
Reiterating the importance of a moment of quiet amidst chaos
Have you heard singing roads converge in the strangest round?
Posing questions about the convergence of unusual elements, a sense of wonder
Baby, have you heard oceans in the heavy highway sound?
Wondering about the presence of natural elements in unexpected places
I waited all night, for the middle of day
Anticipation for a different perspective after waiting all night
For a clear pane, an image of silence
Seeking clarity and peace through a clear view
We dream and dream and lie in wait
Continued longing and anticipation, waiting for something outside the norm
To see what's outside, an image of silence
Seeking an external image of silence, contrasting internal turmoil
Dusk has laid it on so thick
Reiteration of the heavy, emotional dusk setting
Trees hang low, looking so lovesick
Repetition of nature's response, reflecting emotions
Moon burning bright, shadows a riot
Describing the striking presence of the moon and chaotic shadows
Have you heard curlews weep for the ones who can't return?
Questioning sorrow or mourning for those unable to return
Have you heard fires on the water softly burn?
Noting softly burning fires on the water, a contrasting image
Have you heard singing roads converge in the strangest round?
Reiteration of the convergence of unusual elements, repetition emphasizes curiosity
Baby, have you heard?
Repeating a question, inviting attention to something unheard or unseen
Underneath the ground, there is no sound
Suggesting absolute silence beneath the ground
