Elegy for the Memory of Me
Eternal Night Symphony: Embracing Memories in Moonlight
Lyrics
Never ending nighttime
Expressing a sense of perpetual darkness or difficulty.
Through the present it flows
Time passes continuously in the current moment.
I love the way it's staring on me
Appreciation for the way time, represented as nighttime, affects the speaker.
By the stars that are so close
The proximity of stars emphasizes the cosmic nature of time.
Moonlight shivering on the water
Moonlight creates a visual effect on water, possibly symbolizing reflection.
Reaching to the depths
Time reaches into the profound depths of the speaker's experiences.
Silver light is touching all over
Silver light (moonlight) touches everything, leaving no room for regrets.
Leaves me with no regrets
Time, represented by moonlight, does not cause remorse.
Oh, my lovely moonlight
The speaker addresses moonlight affectionately, suggesting a personal connection.
Make me reminisce
Moonlight prompts the speaker to recall and reflect on the past.
How gorgeous were these fields and forests
The beauty of nature is remembered from a time when the speaker did not exist.
When I was not exist
Reflecting on the beauty of the world before the speaker's existence.
Oh, my lovely darkness
The speaker addresses darkness, acknowledging challenges endured together.
How much have we gone through
Recognition of the difficulties faced, expressing resilience despite the pain.
Despite all pain you've caused to me
Despite the hardships caused by darkness, the speaker remains in love with it.
I'm still in love with you
Enduring love for darkness despite the adversities faced.
Trees are growing older
Observing the passage of time through the aging of trees.
Crushing an eternity
Time crushes on endlessly, representing an eternal force.
Years and years and years ago I
Reference to a distant past when the speaker was buried and ceased to live.
Was buried and no longer live
Reflecting on a time when the speaker's existence came to an end.
Never ending nighttime is
Reiteration of the perpetual nature of nighttime, now with added significance.
Lighting up the moon
Moonlight is emphasized as a guiding force during the ongoing nighttime.
Time flows fast
The speed of time is acknowledged as it flows swiftly.
Turns the memory of me into dust
Time transforms the memory of the speaker into dust, symbolizing impermanence.
