Staying Quiet
Embracing December's Colors: A Spirited Journey Through Change
Lyrics
On a more aesthetical level
Reflecting on a more artistic or visually pleasing level
Some might also take issue with the fact that the sky would
Some may have concerns about the permanence of a grey sky
Apart from extraordinary sunsets
Exceptional sunsets being the only exception to the prevailing greyness
Forever be grey
The sky being grey forever
In the moment when december hit
Feeling a significant change or impact in December
I knew I wasn't going back
A realization that there's no going back
I love the hour between the sunburn craze
Appreciating the time between intense sun exposure and the plastic candle sale
Until every home is eaten by the plastic candle sale
Expressing a dislike for the invasion of plastic candles in homes
I didn't want to be there
Not wanting to be present in a certain situation
December hit me like a spiral stair
December having a profound impact, likened to a spiral staircase
In just a flash you're no longer there
Sudden disappearance or change
I love the way your heart is faster than your mind
Admiring the contrast between the speed of the heart and the mind
And how its voice is so ironically unkind
The heart's voice being unexpectedly unkind
I didn't want to be there
Reiterating a reluctance to be present in a specific situation
I'm not insulted by the warning signs
Not feeling offended by warning signs or indicators
I'm not above it all but even traffic lights
Despite not considering oneself superior, even traffic lights suggest moving forward
Are screaming "Go, my child and leave these palaces behind"
Encouragement to leave luxurious places behind
Snow sets featherlight
Snow falling lightly and delicately
The way is there to find
Emphasizing the presence of a path to follow
No more staying quiet
A decision to no longer remain silent or passive
I miss my day and night
Expressing a longing for both day and night
So I refuse to let December lie
Refusing to accept a deceptive or false December
To let them drain the colours
Resisting the draining of vibrant colors from life
(I need a world in colour)
Desiring a world full of colors
I know it's evil of a lesser kind
Acknowledging the existence of a lesser form of evil
But so what?
Dismissive attitude towards the perceived evil
The heart is faster than the mind
Reiterating the swift nature of the heart compared to the mind
It didn't want to see the end yet
Reluctance to witness or experience the end
I'm not insulted by the warning signs
Not feeling offended by warning signs or indicators (repeated)
I'd give it all away rather than standing by
Preferably giving up everything than remaining passive
They're saying "Go, my child"
Encouragement to move forward and not let others redefine the future
"Don't let these men repaint the sky"
A warning against letting others reshape the world negatively
Snow sets featherlight
Reiteration of the delicate nature of snowfall
Say you're on my side
Seeking support or confirmation of alliance
No more staying quiet
Commitment to no longer staying silent or passive
I miss my day and night
Expressing a longing for both day and night (repeated)
Some say
Introducing the perspective of others
"If the only way to go is forward
A willingness to be the last to move forward if it's the only option
I'll go last"
Choosing to go forward despite a belief that it's over
I know it's over, but I cannot see it
Acknowledging the end but unable to see it
No more staying quiet
Commitment to no longer staying silent or passive (repeated)
I miss my day and night
Expressing a longing for both day and night (repeated)
I miss my day and night
Reiterating a longing for both day and night (repeated)
I need my day and night
An emphatic need for both day and night
