City Lights Eclipse Love's Glow
Lyrics
The stars don't shine on this street anymore
The celestial bodies no longer illuminate this particular street.
They lost their fight with the city lights
They were defeated in their luminosity by the bright lights of the urban environment.
Caught up in an endless, senseless war
Entangled in an ongoing and purposeless conflict.
That no one fights anymore
A war that no one engages in anymore.
Why don't we fight anymore
An inquiry into the cessation of conflict.
How can I fix the part of me that you left broken
Expressing the desire to mend a broken aspect of oneself.
How can I save the world you must be joking
An incredulous response to the notion of saving the world.
How can I tell the them I'm doing fine
Pondering how to convey well-being to others.
When I can't see the stars shine
Expressing a challenge in perceiving the brilliance of stars.
It takes forty one minutes to drive to your house
Stating the duration of a journey to a significant location.
Such a long drive for our game of cat and mouse
Describing a lengthy and intricate pursuit or relationship.
I'll be home again before the sun comes up
Anticipating a return home before dawn.
Once I've drank from your unholy cup
Symbolizing a connection with something unconventional or forbidden.
I'm home before the suns up
Reiteration of returning home before sunrise.
How can I fix the part of me that you left broken
Revisiting the theme of self-restoration after a personal setback.
How can I save the world you must be joking
Reiterating skepticism about the ability to save the world.
How can I tell them I'm doing fine
Repeating the challenge of conveying a positive state of being.
When I can't see the stars shine
Restating the difficulty in perceiving the brilliance of stars.
How can I fix the part of me that you left broken
Again expressing the desire to mend a broken aspect of oneself.
How can I save the world you must be joking
Reiterating incredulity towards the idea of saving the world.
How can I tell them I'm doing fine
Repeating the challenge of portraying a positive well-being.
When I can't see the stars shine
Emphasizing the ongoing difficulty in perceiving the brilliance of stars.
