Flickering Light
Love's Flickering Light: Navigating Through Darkness
Lyrics
Two years ago we built this home
Two years ago, a home was built to combat loneliness.
So neither of us would feel alone
The purpose of the home was to provide companionship.
We gave it warmth and light, it was our own
The home symbolized warmth and light, a shared and cherished space.
We hung up pictures on the walls
Pictures on the walls were hung, personalizing the space.
I never thought I’d see it fall
Unexpectedly, the home faced a downfall, possibly a relationship.
I always thought we’d last until the end
The expectation was for the relationship to last indefinitely.
As the sun went in and the rain came down
Challenges came with time (sun, rain), but efforts were made to endure.
We stayed afloat trying not to drown
Struggling to stay afloat, avoiding relationship difficulties.
You tried to keep the spark alive for us
An attempt to maintain the romantic spark.
But we began to drift apart
The couple started growing apart.
And as we got used to the dark
Adapting to a difficult situation, possibly losing hope.
I never thought I’d be the same again
An acknowledgment that things will never be the same.
But grab your coat and will you meet me by the water
A suggestion to meet and discuss matters.
Where we’ll lose track of time as we’re watching the day turn to night
Meeting by the water signifies a place for reflection and connection.
We never needed too many words to talk to each other
Communication was once easy, now strained.
But I’m finding you so hard to read in this flickering light
Difficulty in understanding each other in challenging times.
So the lights went down and without a doubt
The lights symbolically went down, representing a low point.
I learned what love was all about
A realization of what love truly entails.
I missed your face and and I missed you being home
Missing the partner and the sense of home.
Cos the thing that drove our love apart
A mistake led to a strained relationship.
Should not have put us in the dark
Questioning the worth of ending up alone.
It’s surely not worth ending up alone
A plea for reconsideration, as solitude may not be desirable.
And when I think of all the fun we had
Reminiscing about the joyful moments in the relationship.
How I’d pick you up when you were sad
The speaker provided emotional support to the partner.
And how your smile could light up a whole room
The partner's smile had a positive impact on the surroundings.
I’m sure with a different point of view
Suggesting a different perspective for reconciliation.
That we could surely start anew
Hopeful for rebuilding a friendship at the very least.
Our friendship, if nothing else just yet
Emphasizing the importance of the relationship, even if not romantic.
So grab your coat and will you meet me by the water
Reiterating the invitation to meet and discuss matters.
Where we’ll lose track of time as we’re watching the day turn to night
Revisiting a familiar place for shared memories.
We never needed too many words to talk to each other
Reflecting on the ease of communication in the past.
But I’m finding you so hard to read in this flickering light
Struggling to understand the partner in challenging circumstances.
And are our lives worth living
Questioning the value of life without hope and light.
If there’s no light at the end of the tunnel
Existence loses meaning without a positive future.
And what is hope if not something real
Contemplating the nature of hope as a tangible force.
To keep us from the dark
Hope is necessary to navigate through difficult times.
And are our lives worth living
Reiterating the question of life's worth without hope and light.
If there’s no light at the end of the tunnel
Highlighting the importance of hope as a guiding force.
And what is hope if not something real
Asking about the reality of hope as a beacon in darkness.
To keep us from the dark
Emphasizing the necessity of hope to overcome challenges.
So grab your coat and will you meet me by the water
Inviting once again to meet and discuss, highlighting the water.
Where we’ll lose track of time as we’re watching the day turn to night
Returning to a familiar place to reconnect and escape time.
We never needed too many words to talk to each other
Remembering the simplicity of communication in the relationship.
But I’m finding you so hard to read in this flickering light
Expressing difficulty in understanding the partner in challenging moments.
