Lyrics
When I was young I dreamt of days
Reflecting on childhood dreams of a distant future.
When I'd be old, and far away.
Anticipation of growing old and being far from the past.
I never knew those family fights
Unaware that family conflicts in youth would give way to solitude.
Would be replaced by lonely nights.
Loneliness replacing family discord in the present.
Lonely nights, my lonely nights,
Emphasizing the recurring theme of solitude in the speaker's life.
I live in them, in my blue light.
Living within the confines of isolation, symbolized by the "blue light."
I dream of days when I'll have you.
Yearning for a future where the speaker has a companion.
I wonder if you're lonely too.
Expressing curiosity about whether the imagined partner is also lonely.
Out of bed she paints for hours.
Depicting a female figure engaging in artistic expression during difficult times.
This girl has had to see the bad.
Acknowledging the hardships and challenges she has faced.
She knows the value of a heart.
Recognizing the importance of love and emotions.
Still she breaks, fall apart.
Despite understanding, experiencing emotional breakdowns.
Fall apart, I fall apart,
Reiterating the theme of falling apart, emphasizing vulnerability.
Right out of sleep and into dark.
Transitioning from sleep into a metaphorical darkness.
And in the dark a dim-lit star
Introducing a dim-lit star as a symbol of hope in the darkness.
That shines right over where you are.
The star's location corresponds to the absent loved one.
Lonely nights, my lonely nights,
Repeating the theme of lonely nights, reinforcing isolation.
I live in them, in my blue light.
Living within the loneliness symbolized by the "blue light."
I dream of days when I'll have you.
Desiring a future where companionship replaces solitude.
I wonder if you're lonely too.
Questioning whether the desired partner also experiences loneliness.
When you walk these lonely streets,
Adding a perspective shift, addressing the absent partner directly.
If I'm not there, think of me.
Requesting the partner to remember the speaker in their absence.
