Lyrics
And when it started we
Reflecting on the beginning of a situation or relationship
Were tongue-tied, taken
Feeling speechless and captivated
Rather fond of being carried alight
Enjoying the feeling of being carried away and illuminated
And when we part
Describing the separation experience
It's such an odd sensation it's a
Expressing the strange feeling of parting
Love like being buried alive
Comparing love to a suffocating experience
Say, say morning, yeah I know
Acknowledging the morning but not wanting the night to end
The day is forming
Recognizing the formation of a new day
But we haven't quite yet finished our night
Indicating the night is not over
Say, say gloaming, now before
Referring to the twilight period before nightfall
You get to roaming, won't you stay a spell
Asking someone to stay and enjoy the moment
Here stemming the tide? The end of time
Pondering the concept of time ending while trying to resist it
And when we landed we were shell-shocked
Describing the aftermath of a challenging experience
Shaken there's a glassy look of
Noting a distant and uncertain expression in someone's eyes
Doubt in your eyes
Transitioning from abandon to a plea for patience
No more abandon, just a plea for patience
Expressing a desire to reveal one's true self slowly
While I slowly burn away my disguise
Asking not to worry or hurry while undergoing a transformation
Say, say worry, never waited
Questioning if one's thoughts will be explored deeply
Never hurried did I hope to
Reflecting on the potential glory of being a cautionary tale
Have my gray matter mined? Say, say glory
Anticipating blindness if scrutinized or judged
I'm a cautionary story if he stares
No specific meaning
At me the sun'll go blind the end of time
Contemplating the end of time in relation to personal experiences
When it comes for me, desire
Acknowledging desire and the inevitability of change
I'm a wooden man and you
Describing oneself as rigid and ready for transformation
Throw me onto the pyre
Metaphorically being thrown onto the pyre, ready for change
Will you watch me burn? Are you tired?
Asking if others will witness the transformation and if they are weary of it
I'm all alone
Expressing a sense of solitude and vulnerability
