Your Museum
Illuminate: Embracing Light Beyond Darkness
Lyrics
Will you have me
Expressing a desire to be accepted or welcomed
Inside your museum?
Suggesting a desire to be a part of the person's history or life
Will you let me bang your drum?
Metaphorically asking for permission to be actively involved
Smile when you come
Requesting a positive reaction upon arrival
And unlock the door?
Symbolizing opening up emotionally or allowing access
There's a world
Referring to a different, less challenging world
A world that's not so hard
Describing an easier, more pleasant reality
Where the dark is lit with sparks
Imagery of brightness in difficulties, like car headlights
Like headlights on a car
Symbolizing progress or movement through personal obstacles
She's moving through my trees
Describing a person (possibly metaphorical) in the speaker's life
The sky is as bright tonight
Comparing the brightness of the sky to the speaker's perception
As my eyes
Indicating personal awareness and clarity
The darkest parts are behind me now
Suggesting overcoming challenging times
And soon the sun will rise, the sun will rise
Anticipating a positive change or new beginning
Maybe once
Expressing rarity or uniqueness
In a hundred million years
Emphasizing the exceptional nature of the person addressed
Has there been one like you my dear
Complimenting the person's brightness, purity, and clarity
So bright, so pure, so clear
Referring to the person as a guiding light
The torch that lights my way
Symbolizing guidance and support in the speaker's life
The sky is as bright tonight
Repeating the imagery of a bright sky and clear vision
As my eyes
Reaffirming personal awareness and overcoming difficulties
The darkest parts are behind me now
Reiterating the anticipation of positive change
And soon the sun will rise, the sun will rise
Emphasizing the inevitability of a new, better phase
