Canons
Chasing Time and Dreams: Canons by Jeremy Enigk Unveiled
Lyrics
Threw myself on the floor
Expressing a sudden, impulsive action of throwing oneself to the ground.
Chasing time
Pursuing or trying to catch up with the passage of time.
At the door
Standing or positioned at the entrance.
Half-past nine
Refers to the time, 9:30.
Self-control
The ability to restrain one's actions or emotions.
Lace your own heart
A metaphor urging oneself to protect their emotions or vulnerability.
On the door
Symbolic reference to offering one's emotions or heart.
Night will mourn
Implying a time when darkness arrives, metaphorically associated with mourning.
And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day
Resting during the night, metaphorically referencing the relief of a debt incurred during the day.
Like the rising off
Similar to emerging or coming up, with the implication of not being needed until the next day.
They won't need me till tomorrow
A perception that one's presence or assistance won't be required until the following day.
Night that claims the sky
The night sky laying claim, perhaps to emphasize its dominance or presence.
Forever dreams of a better day
Dreaming of a brighter or more promising future perpetually.
Half-past nine
Reiteration of the time, 9:30.
Rise at four
Waking up at an early hour, 4:00.
Tracing time
Following or retracing the passage of time.
After all
After considering everything or despite everything.
Casting iron
Creating something strong and unyielding.
Self-control
Restraint over one's actions or emotions.
Lace your heart
A call to protect one's heart or emotions.
On the door
Symbolic act of offering one's emotions or heart.
Night will mourn
Reference to the time when darkness arrives, associated with mourning.
And I'm sleeping on the better debt of day
Resting during the night, metaphorically relieving the burden of the day.
Like the rising off
Similar to emerging or coming up, with the implication of not being needed until the next day.
They won't need me till tomorrow
Feeling unnecessary until the following day.
Night that claims the sky
Emphasizing the dominance or presence of the night sky.
Forever dreams of a better day
Continuously dreaming of a better future.
Say you'll be around
An expression of anticipation or hope for someone's presence.
