Standing over me
Whispers of Change: Little Ellen's Captivating Tale
Lyrics
He's a little bit older
Describing someone who is slightly older.
Not old enough to make it strange
Not old enough to be considered inappropriate or unusual.
A bit too eager to scold her
Shows a tendency to criticize or reprimand, possibly prematurely.
Not enough to see the change
Not perceptive enough to notice the impending change.
In stretches of time
Refers to periods of time.
There'll be no cause for alarm
During these times, there's no need to be alarmed.
Now it's getting late
Indicates the current time is getting late.
And it's gone too far
Suggests a situation has escalated beyond a reasonable point.
Cling tight to your lucky star
Encourages holding onto one's good fortune despite challenges.
Feel it coming closer
Sensing something approaching.
Feel it standing over me
Feeling the presence of an impending event looming over the speaker.
See the thing that woke her
Observing the cause or catalyst that awakened someone.
Now it's standing over me
Now the cause is directly affecting the speaker.
Keeps her hidden in plain sight
Describing how the person keeps someone hidden but within view.
He makes sure he's never far
Ensures he is never too distant from the person he's hiding.
Suburbs fading in grey light
Suburban areas losing clarity in the fading light.
Window counting every car
Counting passing cars from a window.
The flicker of a light
A moment of realization or revelation represented by a flicker of light.
Sets the cage in swing
Metaphorically setting a trap or creating a situation.
Tip it back and take your wing
Suggests taking a chance or seizing an opportunity.
Feel it coming closer
Feeling the approach of something imminent.
Feel it coming over me
Sensation of an impending event overwhelming the speaker.
See the thing that woke her
Observing the cause or catalyst that awakened someone, again.
See it standing over me
Now the cause is directly affecting the speaker, again.
Feel the thing that woke her
Reiterating the feeling of the cause waking someone.
Now it's standing over me
Reaffirming the direct impact of the cause on the speaker.
See it coming closer
Seeing the impending event getting closer.
See it coming over me
Observing the approach of something imminent.
Feel the thing that woke her
Reiterating the feeling of the cause waking someone, again.
Now it's standing over me
Reaffirming the direct impact of the cause on the speaker, again.
Feel it coming closer
Sensing the imminent event getting even closer.
Now it's standing over me
The impending event is now directly over the speaker.
