Lyrics
It's such a still night tonight
Setting the scene for a quiet night.
I can kinda see your picture
Reflection on the image or memory of someone.
Where the blinds let in the streetlight
Imagery of blinds allowing streetlight, suggesting openness.
No one makes a sound
Absolute silence in the surroundings.
But an echo in my head is ringing
An inner thought or memory reverberating loudly.
Constant and loud
The persistent and loud nature of the echoing thought.
In that house, in that house
Recollection of a past moment in a house where hand-holding occurred, but pride has waned.
You held my hand when I allowed
-I held you down
-I was so proud
-But I'm not now
-In that house, in that house
Reiteration of the memory and emotions associated with hand-holding, emphasizing the loss of pride.
You held my hand when I allowed
-I held you down
-I was so proud
-But I'm not now
-It's such a still night tonight
Reiteration of the stillness of the night.
I have gently pushed away
Expressing a deliberate distancing from people who provided support or sustenance.
Everyone that gave me life
A potential explanation for the pride loss in the earlier memory.
In that house, in that house
Revisiting the house-related memory, underscoring the changed emotional state.
You held my hand when I allowed
-I held you down
-I was so proud
-But I'm not now
-In that house, in that house
Final repetition and reinforcement of the emotional transformation regarding the past hand-holding.
You held my hand when I allowed
-I held you down
-I was so proud
-But I'm not now
-
