Lyrics
Turn away, deny the night and all its power
Turning away and denying the influence of the night and its power.
But it entangles me despite all of my good intentions
Despite good intentions, feeling entangled by the night.
Have the meals, activities
Engaging in daily activities like meals.
Still this creeping feeling
A persistent uneasy sensation.
I've never had the defense the greatest defense
Acknowledging a lack of defense against something.
It's null, senses dull
Being emotionally numb, senses dulled.
Then I think of you
Thinking of someone brings color, brightness, and joy to life, dispelling darkness.
And the black and white returns to color
-Then I think of you
-And the daylight doesn't seem so blinding now
-Then I think of you
-And that skipping 45's a symphony
-Then I think of you
-And the ghost rejoins the living for a day
-Close the blinds and hide in bed
Retreating from the world, seeking solace in bed.
Stare at old movies
Finding comfort in watching old movies.
Come to find a feeling instead
Choosing to feel emotions rather than avoiding them.
Like discovering a new invention
Experiencing something new, akin to discovering an invention.
Get in the car, activities
Engaging in activities, possibly to distract from negative feelings.
Kill that creeping feeling
Actively overcoming the unsettling sensation.
Never had the greatest defense til now
Realizing a newfound defense against negative emotions.
Senses down
Senses becoming less acute.
Then I think of you
Thinking of someone as a source of happiness and inspiration.
And the black and white returns to color
-Then I think of you
-And the daylight doesn't seem so blinding now
-Then I think of you
-And that skipping 45's a symphony
-Then I think of you
-And the ghost rejoins the living for a day
-Then I think of you
Continuing to find joy and brightness through thoughts of someone special.
And the black and white returns to color
-Then I think of you
-And the daylight doesn't seem so blinding now
-Then I think of you
-And that skipping 45's a symphony
-Then I think of you
-And the ghost rejoins the living for today
-Maybe I'll rejoin the human race and you say
Considering rejoining the human race, contemplating leaving a haunting existence.
Maybe I don't need to haunt this place
Questioning the need to remain in a place or situation.
