Quarter to Midnight
Awakening Shadows: Earthquake Lights' Midnight Symphony
Lyrics
Quarter to midnight
It's almost midnight
And out of a waking dream
Transitioning out of a vivid or intense dream
There comes the whisper of a voice
A faint voice or message emerges
And it's calling the others
The voice is summoning or urging others
To awake in the night
To awaken during the night
And draw a breath of life
To take in a breath and embrace life
Right after midnight
Shortly after midnight
They rise from a fading dream
People emerge from a vanishing dream
Watching the distance for the dawn
They observe the distance, awaiting daybreak
And they wait for the morning
They anticipate morning during the silent night
Through the dead of the night
Enduring the quiet hours to recall the sunrise
To remember the rising sun
To recollect the emergence of the sun
And the shape of the light
And the form or appearance of the light it brings
Watch the horizon
Observing the skyline or the future
Calling their names
Hearing a call, potentially their own names
Maybe tomorrow leaves them the same
Possibly anticipating that things will remain unchanged tomorrow
And they wait for the morning
Anticipating morning during the silent night (repeated)
Through the dead of the night
Enduring the quiet hours to recall the sunrise (repeated)
To remember the rising sun
To recollect the emergence of the sun (repeated)
And the shape of the light
And the form or appearance of the light it brings (repeated)
And they wait to remember it
And they wait to remember it (repeated)
In the dead of the night
In the midst of the night, waiting to recall
On the horizon
The sun starts to emerge at the horizon
Sunlight in the haze
Sunlight appearing hazily
Clearing the shadows
Dispelling darkness and shadows
Chasing them away
Chasing away the obscurities or uncertainties
