Pagan Wish
Eclipsed Desires: Unraveling the Poetic Yearning in 'Pagan Wish'
Lyrics
Wish I could split the night in two
Expressing a desire to separate the night into two parts.
Wish I could, what I would do to you
Wishing to perform certain actions towards someone.
Wish I could hold the nights apart
Expressing a desire to keep nights apart.
Oh, to you I give the sun, my heart
Offering the sun and heart to someone special.
I'll be the cyclone how it strays
Identifying as a cyclone, symbolizing chaotic and wandering behavior.
I'll be the moon escaping there
Expressing a desire to escape like the moon.
I'll be your cancer now, the sun that eats away
Associating oneself with destructive elements, comparing to cancer.
Wish I could be the waking sun
Expressing a desire to be the rising sun.
Just for once I'd be the brightest one
Wishing to be the brightest one, possibly metaphorical for standing out.
Wish I could find you where you hide
Expressing a desire to find someone who is hiding.
Like the sun I'd be the tide that swallows tide
Comparing oneself to the sun and wishing to be a powerful force.
I'll be the cyclone how it strays
Reiteration of being like a cyclone, symbolizing unpredictability.
I'll be the moon escaping there
Reiterating the desire to escape like the moon.
I'll be your cancer now, the sun that eats away
Repeating the association with destructive qualities, akin to the sun causing harm.
We used to climb the highest peaks
Reflecting on past experiences of reaching great heights together.
Used to lay there in the breeze
Recalling moments of relaxation in the breeze.
Then you turned around to run
Describing a turning point where someone decided to run away.
So now I'm gone
Expressing the consequence of the other person's departure, implying the speaker is now gone.
I'll be the cyclone how it strays
Reiteration of being like a cyclone, emphasizing the wandering nature.
I'll be the moon escaping there
Reiterating the desire to escape like the moon.
I'll be your cancer now, the sun that eats away
Repeating the association with destructive qualities, portraying the sun as a consuming force.
