Lyrics
Some days I don't ever draw the curtains
Choosing not to close the curtains on some days.
I don't mind a dark afternoon
Being comfortable with a dark afternoon.
And why should I keep from the hurting
Questioning the need to avoid pain or hardship.
I don't need the light If I'm not looking at you
Expressing independence, not requiring light if not in the presence of the person addressed.
Oh I don't need the light
Reiterating the lack of need for light.
I don't need the light
Emphasizing the independence from external sources of brightness.
Leave me to the endless night
Desiring solitude in the endless night.
Moonlight still shines and never a bother
Noticing the moonlight, which is unintrusive.
No more than a simmer,
Describing the moonlight as subtle, gently reflecting on the water's surface.
it shimmers the skin of the water
It's sad but I'm calm and it's quaint
Expressing a sense of sadness but maintaining a calm and quaint demeanor.
When a dull pain sets in
Acknowledging a dull pain settling in.
Everyone's talking about hope but it's faint
Commenting on the prevalence of discussions about hope, but it feels distant.
Just a sound that you hear yet again
Describing hope as a sound that is heard repeatedly.
So I don't need the light
Reaffirming the lack of need for external light.
I don't need the light
Restating the independence from external sources of brightness.
Leave me to the endless night
Desiring solitude in the endless night, repeating the theme.
