All Went Dark
Ephemeral Memories: Monte Duma's Journey through Seasons
Lyrics
For long I've thought the day
Reflecting on a prolonged period of anticipation or expectation
I would see you again
Hoping for a reunion or encountering someone again
In your bright Autumn hues
Imagining encountering the person in their vibrant, colorful state, possibly metaphorical for a positive reunion
Would be climbing up the mount heart, with a smile on my face
Expecting joy while approaching a metaphorical peak or high point, possibly a positive meeting
But you do you remember all these summer days
Asking if the other person remembers shared past experiences during warmer times
For long I thought of this day
Continuation of long-term contemplation about this anticipated day
and now I'm landing in a storm
Arrival or realization in a difficult or turbulent situation
The cold has taken all your leaves
Noticing the absence or loss of the person's vibrancy or positive attributes
Where has your beauty gone, let me know
Expressing concern or confusion about the disappearance of the person's beauty or positivity
The snow was leaving town for the summer days
Observing a departure of a metaphorical "snow" that symbolizes troubles or difficulties, making way for happier times
A sweet wind of elation would blow it away
Expectation of a positive change or improvement represented by a joyful breeze
She took my hand as the sun went down
Describing a moment of connection with someone as daylight fades
These vivid memories awake but they'll be gone tonight
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of vivid memories that may disappear or fade away soon
Wanting you had me dreaming
Yearning or desiring the person
You had me howling, but the ones that I loved
Feeling deeply affected by the person, but unable to influence the lives of others
Their life went on and there's no coming back
Realizing that life continues for others despite personal loss, with no chance of return
And I'm not dressed in white. I guess this was all I had
Not conforming to traditional expectations or norms in a situation of loss
Left to remember
Left with only memories of the past
Painted walls in the summer days
Recalling moments or scenes from past joyful times
A sweet wind of elation would blow them away
Anticipating a positive change that will erase those past scenes or memories
She took my hand as willows swayed
Recalling a moment of connection amid carefree times
All those carefree times are what I saw when the light turned to dark
Remembering carefree times when everything seemed brighter
