Bridge It or Break It
Navigating Silence: Long Since Forgotten's Moonlit Dilemma
Lyrics
It's a full moon darling
Describing the night as a full moon.
And just ten miles to your house
Distance from the singer to the subject's house.
Ten miles of cold silence
The distance is characterized by a lack of communication or warmth.
Is all that stands in my way
The obstacle of emotional distance between the singer and the subject.
I'm just too shy
Expressing the singer's shyness or hesitation.
To bridge it
Unwillingness to overcome the distance.
Or break it
Not willing to make an effort to bridge the gap.
Or break it
Reiterating the singer's hesitance to make a move.
It's nights like this that I don't want the radio
Not wanting outside distractions, preferring introspection.
Leave me alone with my thoughts
Desire for solitude to reflect on personal thoughts.
Tell me tomorrow won't be so cold
Hope for a warmer or better future.
This space so quiet
Emphasis on the quiet and empty space between them.
I'm just too shy
Reiteration of the singer's shyness or hesitation.
To bridge it
Still unwilling to bridge the emotional distance.
Or break it
Not open to breaking the barrier.
Or break it
Repeated reluctance to make a change.
I'll drive faster than the loneliness
Willingness to escape emotional loneliness by driving faster.
And be waiting at home when it catches me.
Intent to reach home before loneliness catches up.
Yeah I'm just too shy
Continued expression of shyness or hesitation.
To tell you
Admitting the shyness in expressing feelings.
I'm just too shy
Reiteration of the singer's shyness or hesitation.
To tell you
Repetition of the shyness in communication.
I want to
Expressing a desire or longing.
I want to
Repetition of the desire to communicate or express feelings.
I want to
Continued expression of a strong want or need.
I want to
Repeated desire or longing.
I want to
Continued expression of a strong desire or yearning.
