We're Not Here
Fading Under Starlight: Embracing Safe Havens in Twilight
Lyrics
Will you hold my hand
Expressing a desire for emotional support and connection.
Will you hold my hand because we’re fading
Seeking reassurance during a challenging or difficult situation.
Listen when I say
Requesting attention and understanding.
When I say we’ll be saved
Believing that there is hope for salvation or improvement.
Every single word
Highlighting the significance of spoken words.
All our words were an arrow wasted
Expressing regret for words that did not have the intended impact.
As they break on the skins
Metaphorically describing the impact of words on adversaries.
Of our enemies
Referencing conflicts with those opposed to the speaker.
I was wasting away
Describing a period of personal decline or deterioration.
I was wasting away in the twilight
Experiencing a decline during a transitional or uncertain time.
Hear me when I say
Emphasizing the importance of being heard and understood.
When I tell you you're safe
Offering assurance of safety to someone else.
Waiting to come alive
Anticipating a revival or awakening.
Waiting to come alive under starlight
Awaiting a positive transformation under the influence of starlight.
With the memories
Reflecting on past positive experiences and shared memories.
Of our better days
Nostalgically recalling better times from the past.
One more time the night is falling with one foot in the grave
Describing a recurring sense of approaching danger or demise.
We’re not here to see the skyline, the sunset is in our eyes
Rejecting the importance of external beauty, focusing on internal experiences.
Will you follow me
Asking for companionship or loyalty for the final time.
Will you follow me for the last time
Requesting support during a challenging and bitter phase.
Through the bitterness
Reflecting on regrets and gloomy moments in the past.
Of our sullen mistakes
Questioning the essence of safety during a downward spiral.
What it means to be safe
Contemplating the meaning of security while facing a fall.
What it means to be safe when we’re falling
Defining safety amidst challenges and uncertainties.
Through the hands and the minds
Experiencing adversity at the hands and minds of adversaries.
Of our enemies
Reiterating the impact of opposition and conflicts.
One more time the night is falling with one foot in the grave
Repeating the theme of impending danger and decline.
We’re not here to see the skyline, the sunset is in our eyes
Rejecting the focus on external beauty, acknowledging the challenges ahead.
