Artificial Light
Reborn in Artificial Light: A Melodic Journey Through Shadows
Lyrics
The darkest days, they come on like a storm
The darkest days arrive suddenly and intensely, akin to a storm.
And I forget, we can all be reborn
The speaker forgets that everyone has the capacity for a fresh start or renewal.
Standing on stilts, I gaze upon the moon
The speaker stands elevated, metaphorically represented by stilts, observing the moon.
Laced up in mist, she vanishes so soon
Despite being wrapped in mist, the moon disappears quickly.
But through the night, you give me
The addressee provides something sustaining through the night.
Artificial light, give me artificial light
The speaker requests for or acknowledges receiving artificial light.
Coyote cries, hungry to the bone
Depiction of a hungry and desperate coyote.
Blood on a branch, drips into the snow
Blood drips onto the snow from a branch, possibly indicating violence or danger.
A restless wind, wakes me with a fright
A wind that causes unease or fear awakens the speaker.
Shadows creep in, I pull the curtain tight
The speaker responds by shutting out the threatening shadows.
But through the night, you give me
The addressee continues to provide something sustaining through the night.
Artificial light, give me artificial light
The speaker seeks or acknowledges receiving artificial light once more.
Within your eyes, the world stops its spin
The speaker finds a pause in the chaos when looking into the addressee's eyes.
Outside myself, enchanted by your grin
The speaker is captivated by the addressee's smile or expression.
Undressed at dawn, the moon sails out to sea
Description of the moon setting at dawn.
And in her wake, we dream of what could be
Implies the imagination or hope for what the future might hold.
All through the night, you give me
The addressee's consistent provision of something sustaining through the night.
Artificial light, give me artificial light
The speaker once again seeks or acknowledges receiving artificial light.
Oh my shelter, my lover, it's over
A declaration of the end of a protective and affectionate relationship.
