Lyrics
How long, how long,
Expressing a sense of time passing or waiting
Lower than the sea
Feeling extremely low or down
To let you go,
Struggling to release someone/something
Too far to even try to reach.
Seems impossible to make an effort to connect or reconcile
And don’t you even try to let it go?
Encouraging someone not to give up
While everything around me is breaking down so slow.
Surrounded by things falling apart slowly
Where will you go when we all fade away?
Questioning where one will go when everything fades away
Where is your civil time about the sun makes to us.
Questioning the significance of time in relation to the sun
So when you walk outside to see the reasons for
Encouragement to seek reasons outside
Do not forget the light that doesn’t make you grow.
Reminder not to forget the source of inner growth
But you’re staying home at just the saddest news
Staying home due to sad news
There is no side to chose.
No clear sides to take in a situation
And the numbers grow and push you down so low,
Feeling overwhelmed by increasing problems
You’ll never let it lose, don’t ever let it lose.
Encouragement not to lose hope or determination
Oh, was it a low way down to leave us behind?
Reflecting on leaving others behind in a difficult situation
So stay where you are,
Suggesting to remain where one is
Come on, write them all,
Encouragement to document or express oneself
But if the skies will fall I’ll be asking for you
Will seek someone during difficult times
No one wants to see your cold the way the others do
Others may not want to witness one's pain
If these are your prayers I won’t follow you through.
Declining to follow someone's path/prayers
When the flame turns blue
Reference to a change or shift
Not even you will lead us through.
Doubting someone's ability to guide others
That’s when you will never go
Emphasizing an eternal presence
If you see me, I move slow
Symbolic of slow movement or progress
My head rolls off,
A metaphorical expression of detachment
I spread the bands where I go.
Leaving an impact wherever one goes
You’ll see the ones that lost get miles into
Recognizing the loss faced by some
Like all your loved ones play the best part of your all.
Importance of loved ones in life's journey
I can help you, now, when you ask me how
Offering assistance to overcome problems
I see the trouble in your way.
Seeing challenges ahead
If you ran out time, you just stay in line and
Suggesting to wait patiently if out of time
Don’t ever let it lose, don’t ever let it lose.
Reiterating not to lose determination
Oh, was it a long way down they leave us behind
Reflecting again on leaving others behind
So stay where you are, come around of them all,
Suggesting to maintain current position
Now it’s not too far, they’ve been asking for you.
Not too late to reach out to someone
No one wants to see your cold the way the others do
Others may not understand one's pain
If these are your prayers I won’t follow through.
Refusal to follow someone's prayers/path
When the flame turns blue
Symbolism of change or transformation
Not even you will lead us through.
Doubting someone's ability to guide others, yet again
Don’t let it lose, don’t ever let it lose.
Emphasis on not losing something valuable
Oh, was it a long way down, a long way down?
Reflecting on a significant distance downward
Not even you will lead us through.
Reiteration of doubt in someone's leadership
When the flame turns blue.
Symbolism of change or transformation, once more
