Memory
Embracing Memories: Nostalgia in Midnight's Silence
Lyrics
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Describing a quiet midnight with no noise from the street.
Has the moon lost her memory?
Wondering if the moon has forgotten its past.
She is smiling alone in the lamplight
Depicting the moon smiling alone in the lamplight.
The withered leaves collect at my feet
Noting fallen leaves collecting at the speaker's feet.
And the wind begins to moan
Describing the wind starting to moan.
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
Reflecting on memories alone in the moonlight.
I can smile at the old days
Expressing the ability to smile at the past.
I was beautiful then
Recalling a time when the speaker felt beautiful.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Remembering a moment of happiness from the past.
Let the memory live again
Desiring to relive and cherish memories.
Every streetlamp seems to beat
Noticing a rhythmic beat from streetlamps.
A fatalistic warning
Perceiving a fatalistic warning in the atmosphere.
Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters
Observing muttering and dimming streetlamps.
And soon it will bе morning
Acknowledging the approaching morning.
Daylight i must wait for the sunrise
Anticipating daylight and a new life at sunrise.
I must think of a new lifе
Committing to think of a new life ahead.
And I mustn't give in when the dawn comes
Resisting surrendering when the dawn arrives.
Tonight will be a memory too
Expecting tonight to become a cherished memory.
And a new day will begin
Looking forward to a new day and a fresh start.
Burnt-out ends of smokey days
Describing remnants of exhausted, smoky days.
The stale cold smell of morning
Noting the cold smell of morning and burnt-out ends.
The street lamp dies, another night is over
Describing the end of the night as another day begins.
Another day is dawning
Highlighting the start of a new day.
Sunlight through the trees in summer
Depicting sunlight through trees during summer.
Endless masquerading
Describing endless masquerading, perhaps in life's roles.
Like a flower, as the day is breaking
Comparing the day's beginning to a flower blooming.
The memory is fading
Noting the fading of memories as the day progresses.
Touch me it's so easy to leave me
Expressing vulnerability and the ease of being left alone.
All alone with my memory
Acknowledging solitude with memories as company.
Of my days in the sun if you touch me
Recalling days in the sun and the happiness they brought.
You'll understand what happiness is
Emphasizing that touching the speaker will reveal their happiness.
Look, a new day has begun
Noting the beginning of a new day, symbolizing hope.
