Wound In The Night
Wounds Unveiled: Conversations with the Night in Gabriel Moreno's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Pass me the bottle and look to my eyes
Request for a bottle while seeking a connection through eye contact.
Let us tear down the curtain and speak of our times
Proposing openness by removing barriers and discussing current circumstances.
There is a crack in the skin of hope and belief
Noting a visible flaw in the optimism and faith.
Perhaps if we talk we can see what it is
Suggesting that dialogue might reveal the nature of the issue.
The trees the trees are breathing despair
Expressing environmental distress; trees represent nature.
Because some fools drilled holes in the air
Criticizing irresponsible actions affecting the atmosphere.
And it is raining in Kyev
Reporting rain in Kyev, potentially symbolizing troubles.
But nothing is wet for what falls
Highlighting a paradox where rain doesn't wet due to a metaphorical cause.
On the heads of women and men
Describing the tears falling on people's heads as consequences of human greed and lies.
Are the tears of a world torn by our greed and our lies
Linking global suffering to human vices, particularly greed and deceit.
Aha there is a wound in the night
Identifying a wound or injury in the night, possibly metaphorical.
Aha the moon is covered in wine
Metaphorically comparing the moon to wine, hinting at obscured beauty or significance.
Aha but the candle is alight
Noting the presence of a lit candle that won't last, suggesting transient hope.
Won't stay for a while
Expressing the impermanence of positive elements.
Let us imagine a sign
Suggesting the creation of a symbolic sign through imagination.
Tell me your fortunes and tell me your curse
Inviting sharing of both fortunes and curses, acknowledging the dual nature of life.
Days are like knives when you plunge into yourself
Comparing days to knives when introspection is deep and possibly painful.
There's a war in the West there is a war in East
Highlighting wars in different directions, with the wealthy having escape options.
And only the rich have got tickets to flee
The winds the winds are stuck in the graves
Describing stagnant winds in graves, possibly representing a lack of change or progress.
And the ghosts they are praying for change
Depicting ghosts praying for change, emphasizing a desire for transformation.
We know it will come but before we are done
Acknowledging an anticipated positive change but expressing uncertainty about its timing.
Can we toast to the ones who were broken and shun
Suggesting a toast to those who suffered and were rejected.
By the hammer of hearts prone to the greed and the lies
Attributing suffering to hearts influenced by greed and lies.
Aha there is a wound in the night
Reiterating the presence of a wound in the night.
Aha the moon is covered in wine
Repeating the metaphor of the moon covered in wine, suggesting obscured beauty.
Aha but the candle is alight
Repeating the image of a lit candle with limited duration.
Won't stay for a while
Reiterating the impermanence of positive elements.
Let us imagine a sign
Reiterating the idea of creating a symbolic sign through imagination.
Pass me the bottle and look to my eyes
Recalling the request for a bottle and eye contact, emphasizing connection.
Let us tear down the curtain and speak of our times
Repeating the call to remove barriers and discuss current circumstances.
There is a crack in the skin of hope and belief
Repeating the observation of a crack in the skin of hope and belief.
Perhaps if we talk we can see what it is
Reiterating the belief that dialogue can reveal the nature of the issue.
