Skylight
Skylight Serenade: Chasing Dreams in Dying Air
Lyrics
So come around some more so I can see again
Desire for increased presence to gain clarity or understanding.
My visions getting darker based on where you've been
Perception becoming darker based on the places you've been.
I may never heal so don't delay what's real
Expressing doubt about the possibility of complete healing.
Your picture's on my wall to keep you here
Keeping a picture on the wall as a symbolic way to hold onto the person.
As my breath is turning into dying air
Suggesting a sense of suffocation or impending loss.
My thoughts will keep me coming back to you
Despite challenges, recurring thoughts draw the speaker back to the person.
Cause you light the sky that I am looking to
The person being addressed brings brightness to the speaker's life.
I miss the days when clouds would always run away
Nostalgia for a time when problems were easily overcome.
I'm peaking top of mountains begging you to stay
Reaching the peak but still pleading for the person to stay.
I might not come down that's why I need you now
Dependency on the person for support in challenging times.
I turn into a man who runs alone
Transformation into a solitary figure, possibly due to challenges.
To fall into your arms and bring me home
Seeking comfort and belonging in the person's embrace.
My thoughts will keep me coming back to you
Repetition of the idea that thoughts gravitate back to the person.
Cause you light the sky that I am looking to
Reaffirmation of the person lighting up the speaker's world.
I've got dreams for you and I
Shared dreams between the speaker and the person addressed.
Bigger than the open sky
Ambitious aspirations expressed metaphorically as larger than the sky.
Your pictures on my wall to keep you here
Reiterating the use of a picture on the wall as a symbolic connection.
As my breath is turning into dying air
Re-emphasizing the feeling of breath turning into dying air.
I turn into a man who runs alone
Repetition of the theme of running alone, possibly depicting solitude.
To fall into your arms and bring me home
Desire to find solace and home in the arms of the person.
My thoughts will keep me coming back to you
Continued recurrence of thoughts drawing the speaker back to the person.
Cause you light the sky that I am looking to
Confirmation of the person being the guiding light in the speaker's life.
