Island
Navigating Silence: Unveiling Emotions in Mid-Day Moon's 'Island'
Lyrics
The signs were always there
The presence of signs was always evident.
I could see it in your stare
I could discern it in the way you looked at me.
I wish it was easier to say
Expressing feelings is challenging, and I wish it were simpler.
Oh and
An introduction to a thought or realization.
How could I just speak up
Why can't I vocalize my thoughts?
When I'm afraid of what I'll hear
Fear hinders my ability to speak openly.
You put on your makeup
You use makeup to conceal what I find frightening.
That masks everything I fear
This makeup hides the aspects that cause me fear.
Is it easier this way
Is it simpler to keep things this way?
It's just a break in the silence
A momentary interruption in the silence.
Enough for the noise to go on
Enough to allow the noise to persist.
Feels like I wait on an island
It feels like waiting on an island.
Alone until you come along
A sense of solitude until you appear.
Because
Transition to the reason for the emotional struggle.
You want something real
You desire authenticity and sincerity.
I'm just a false reality
I am a deceptive, unreal representation.
You know how it feels
You understand the emotions involved.
Guess that's just the price we pay
Acknowledging the inevitable cost of the situation.
It's not the first time anyway
This has happened before.
It's just a break in the silence
Another interruption in the prevailing silence.
Enough for the noise to go on
Allowing the background noise to continue.
Feels like I wait on an island
Similar to waiting on an island.
Alone until you come along
Alone until your presence breaks the solitude.
The signs were always there
A repetition of the initial realization.
I could see it in your stare
Reiterating the observation in your gaze.
I wish it was easier to say
Expressing the difficulty in verbalizing feelings.
The signs were always there
Reaffirmation of the constant presence of signs.
I could see it in your stare
Reiterating the recognition in the way you look.
I wish it was easier to say
Reiterating the wish for an easier expression.
It's just a break in the silence
Another instance of interrupting the silence.
Enough for the noise to go on
Allowing the ongoing background noise to persist.
Feels like I wait on an island
Continued sense of waiting on an island.
Alone until you come along
Aloneness until your arrival ends the isolation.
It's just a break in the silence
Repetition of a momentary break in silence.
Enough for the noise to go on
Permitting the noise to persist in the background.
Feels like I wait on an island
Reiteration of the feeling of waiting on an island.
Alone until you come along
Continued solitude until your presence is felt.
