Moonlight
Chasing Moonlight: A Tale of Lost Patience and Unrequited Sunlight
Lyrics
we didn’t have very long
We didn't have much time.
while we chased down the sunlight
While we pursued the fleeting moments of happiness.
cornered and careless
Feeling trapped and without concern.
corrupted
Influenced or damaged morally.
caught by the sun
Captured by the brightness of life.
well, wasn’t it fun
Reflecting on the past with a sense of enjoyment.
i guess that i was not the one
Realizing that I was not the person you truly needed.
that you needed
Understanding the absence of my importance.
now that the days pass like hours
Time is passing swiftly, resembling mere hours.
and they come and they go just like nobody knows
Days unfold unpredictably, with an uncertain outcome.
i’m kicking and spinning in air
Struggling and aimlessly moving through life.
and getting nowhere
Efforts seem futile and unproductive.
nowhere near the somewhere where you’re there
Far from the place where you are present.
so now i have lost patience
Running out of tolerance or understanding.
did you ever know
Questioning if you ever realized.
just how hard i tried
Expressing the intensity of the effort put forth.
to give you sunshine
Attempting to bring joy and positivity.
but all i gave to you
Only managing to offer a dim substitute, symbolized by moonlight.
was moonlight
Advising to farewell or take care.
so stay well
Indicating a belief that the person may become a stranger.
cause as far as i know
Uncertainty about the person's identity in the future.
you’ll be no-one i know
Expressing knowledge of the person's lack of concern.
for as long as i know and i know
Acknowledging the expected indifference for an extended period.
that you’ll never care
Belief that the person will never care.
because no-one ever cared
Generalizing that no one ever cared without a cost.
for free
Emphasizing the rarity of genuine care without conditions.
