Willow Tree
Moonlit Pursuit: A Frozen Tale of Love and Longing
Lyrics
The willow tree
The focus is on a willow tree.
The frozen lake
Reference to a frozen lake, setting a cold and still atmosphere.
And you who ran out on the ice
Someone ran onto the ice, indicating a risky action.
To see if it could really hold you
The person tests the ice's strength, questioning its reliability.
And then to catch a glimpse of moonlight
Seeking beauty or enlightenment, symbolized by glimpses of moonlight.
I saw you run
Observing someone running across the ice.
Across the ice
Continuation of the person's movement on the ice.
Towards The Moon
Heading towards the moon, possibly chasing dreams or aspirations.
You turned your head
Turning the head, expressing an intention to return.
Said “I’ll be coming back real soon”
Assurance of a swift return, though the speaker is unsettled.
Your face it frightened me a bit
The person's appearance causes fear in the speaker.
I waited
Waiting patiently for an event or change.
Till The Moon became The Sun
Passing of time until the moon transitions to the sun.
Then I took the last train home
Boarding the last train home, symbolizing departure or closure.
Hoping you would have caught the light
Hopeful anticipation that the person caught the metaphorical light.
And somehow made it to the other side
Wishing for the person to successfully reach the other side.
I climbed the frozen willow tree
Attempting to reach greater heights, climbing the frozen willow tree.
Till I could not get any higher
Struggling to go higher, facing limitations.
I screamed your name across the lake
Vocally reaching out, possibly in desperation or longing.
Till both my lungs were breathing fire
Experiencing intense emotions, likened to breathing fire.
I waited
Repeating the patient waiting as time passes.
Till The Moon became The Sun
Transitioning from night to day, marking a significant period.
Then I took the last train home
Repeating the departure on the last train, maintaining hope.
Hoping you would have caught the light
Echoing the anticipation for a successful journey to the other side.
And somehow made it to the other side
Continued hope for the person's successful arrival.
