Lyrics
This is the place
This location is being referred to.
where I used to sit
Describing a past action of sitting.
in front of the window
Positioned facing the window.
waiting for the sun
Awaiting the arrival of sunlight.
I remember
Recollection of memories.
this house used to have
Describing the previous state of the house.
such a beautiful light
The house had a notably beautiful illumination.
Oh, wasted light!
Expressing regret for squandered brightness.
turned into dark in our hands
Light symbolizes hope/optimism, now lost.
We changed the house
The transformation of the house.
the color of walls
Alteration of the wall's color.
and moved the furniture
Moving around the furniture within.
but the light was gone
The light disappeared amidst changes.
and so was our youth
Loss of youthful essence paralleling the lost light.
And in silence you smoked
Depiction of a smoking companion in silence.
and we missed each other getting old and
Mutual absence during the aging process.
wasted time
Time wasted without purpose.
turned into dust in your lungs
Time wasted affecting health negatively.
And in silence I choked
Personal experience of suffocation.
and we missed each other getting old and
Mutual absence during the aging process.
wasted time
Time wasted, now a past experience.
turned into past in my eyes
Reflecting on time lost.
This is the place
Repetition of the initial setting.
where I used to sit
Reflecting on a past action of sitting.
in front of the window
Positioned facing the window.
waiting for the sun
Anticipating sunlight as before.
I remember
Recollection of a specific memory.
the light in your eyes
Recalling the sparkle in someone's eyes.
shut down like a fire
The light in someone's eyes diminished.
Oh, wasted light!
Expressing regret for wasted potential.
could have enlightened this house
The potential for brightness unutilized.
we changed it all
Changes made to everything.
the color of walls
Transformation of wall color.
and moved the furniture
Shifting furniture within the house.
but the light was gone
The light vanished despite alterations.
and so was our youth
Loss of youthful essence paralleling the lost light.
And in silence you smoked
Reiteration of the silent smoking situation.
and we missed each other getting old and
Mutual absence during the aging process.
wasted time
Time wasted without purpose.
turned into dust in your lungs
Time wasted affecting health negatively.
And in silence I choked
Personal experience of suffocation.
and we missed each other getting old and
Mutual absence during the aging process.
wasted time
Time wasted, now a past experience.
turned into past in my eyes
Reflecting on time lost.
