Streetlights
Lonely Night's Echo: Amidst Streetlights and Silence
Lyrics
And I can see you now
The speaker can now perceive or understand something or someone.
As streetlights shine down on me
Streetlights are illuminating the surroundings as the speaker observes.
And I can hear your footsteps
The speaker can hear the sound of someone's footsteps.
As there walking right by me
Another person is walking close to the speaker.
The snow is falling lightly
The atmosphere is described with snow falling lightly.
And there's a hazy glow
There's a hazy glow in the surroundings.
Distant wind is howling
A distant wind is audibly howling.
And I'm all alone
The speaker is currently alone in this setting.
Yeah I'm all alone
Reiteration of the speaker's solitude.
Alone
Emphasizing the feeling of being alone.
There's a cadence in silence
There is a rhythmic pattern in the silence, suggesting a sense of order.
It's getting to cold and I can't breathe
The coldness is intensifying, making it difficult for the speaker to breathe.
And I'm walking right past you
The speaker is passing by someone without being noticed.
And you don't even see me
Despite being near, the other person is oblivious to the speaker's presence.
No, you don't even see me
Repetition emphasizing the lack of recognition by the other person.
There's a cadence in silence
Reiteration of the rhythmic pattern in the prevailing silence.
It's getting to cold and I can't breathe
The coldness is becoming more intense, affecting the speaker's ability to breathe.
And I'm walking right past you
Similar to line 15, reiterating the speaker's unnoticed presence.
And you don't even see me
Despite proximity, the other person remains unaware of the speaker.
No, you don't even see me
Repetition underlining the lack of acknowledgment from the other person.
