The Day the World Stopped Turning
Eternal Embrace: When Time Stood Still
Lyrics
It was midnight, we were all alone,
Describing a moment at midnight when the speaker and someone else were isolated.
The day the world stopped turning.
Refers to a significant event when the normal course of the world came to a halt.
Through the window little diamonds showin',
Observing small points of light, possibly stars, through a window during this event.
The day the world stopped turning.
Reiterates the impact of the day when the world stopped turning.
Suddenly the air was still,
Expressing a sudden calmness in the air during the described moment.
The bright new moon grew dim;
Describing the moon losing its brightness, creating a subdued atmosphere.
We were lost in limbo,
Feeling lost and in a state of uncertainty, as if hanging on the edge.
Way out on a limb.
Using the metaphor of being "way out on a limb" to emphasize vulnerability and isolation.
From the moment your arms took me in,
Highlighting the transformative impact of the other person's embrace.
No other place existed;
Indicating that, in that moment, nothing else mattered or existed.
We were somewhere we had never been,
Describing a unique and unfamiliar place the speaker and the other person entered.
Uncharted and unlisted.
Emphasizing that this place is unexplored and not documented.
Arms were yearning,
Conveying a sense of deep longing in the embrace.
Lips were burning,
Describing intense emotions, with lips burning possibly symbolizing passion.
On the day the world stopped turning;
Reiterating the significance of the day the world stopped turning.
Oh, that was long ago!
Reflecting on the distant past, suggesting that this transformative moment happened long ago.
From the moment your arms took me in,
Repeating the impact of the other person's embrace on the speaker's existence.
No other place existed;
Reiterating the exclusive nature of the moment, where nothing else existed.
We were somewhere we had never been,
Recalling the experience of being in an uncharted and unfamiliar place with the other person.
Uncharted and unlisted.
Highlighting the uniqueness and lack of documentation of this place.
Arms were yearning,
Expressing a continued yearning in the embrace.
Lips were burning,
Intensifying the emotional aspect, with lips burning as a symbol of continued passion.
On the day the world stopped turning;
Reiterating the significance of the day the world stopped turning.
Oh, that was long ago!
Affirming that this impactful moment occurred in the distant past.
