Lyrics
You?re gone
You are no longer present or in my life.
The trees are so quiet
The natural world seems unusually quiet without your presence.
When your hand was in my pocket
Recalling a time when we were intimately connected, represented by your hand in my pocket.
How they swayed from side to side
The trees swayed with a dynamic energy during that past time.
Now the meddling sky
Currently, the sky seems intrusive or interfering.
And my snowy eye
My perspective, symbolized by my eye, is now cold and distant.
Sees a different night
I perceive a night that is different from what it used to be.
Sees a different night
This perception is reiterated to emphasize the contrast with the past.
The night I fell into the lion?s jaws
Referring to a specific night when a challenging or dangerous situation occurred.
To my regret
Expressing remorse for the events of that night.
And your delight
Your happiness or satisfaction contrasts with my regret.
Those teeth themselves could not divine
The lion's teeth, a metaphor for difficulties, couldn't predict the outcome.
Nor their pressure estimate
Even the intensity of those difficulties couldn't be accurately assessed.
The haze I wish to never break
A desire to maintain a state of confusion or uncertainty.
And to never contemplate
A commitment to avoid contemplating certain unsettling truths.
Momentum
Reference to the concept of momentum, possibly symbolizing the force of events.
For the sake
Doing things for the sake of maintaining momentum.
Of momentum
Emphasizing the importance of sustaining momentum.
Momentum
Repetition of the theme of momentum, underscoring its significance.
For the sake
Continuing to emphasize the value of momentum.
Of momentum
Reiterating the importance of momentum in the face of challenges.
Of momentum
Further emphasizing the enduring significance of momentum.
