Speed of Light
Eclipsed Emotions: Unveiling Life's Velocity Through 'Speed of Light'
Lyrics
The speed of light slows down
The pace of progress or change slows down.
As the feather hits the ground
A light object, like a feather, falls to the ground.
And nothing else gets through
Nothing else is able to pass through or break through.
It's always faster than it sounds.
The speed of light is consistently faster than it seems.
The star that shone so bright
A once bright star will be overshadowed or dimmed.
Will be eclipsed tonight
There will be an eclipse tonight.
When you kiss the satelite.
This event happens when you kiss the satellite.
'Cause there was someplace you
Referring to a specific place or situation.
And you alone, believed that a life
Someone, possibly the narrator, believed in a certain way of living.
Could be this way
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of life.
It don't seem right
It doesn't feel right or appropriate.
To spend tonight as you did today.
Questioning the choice of spending the night in a certain way.
If I had known that you would call
If the narrator had known, they would have acted differently.
If I could dream that you would fall
If there was hope or anticipation that someone would fall.
If I could change these thoughts around
If the narrator could change their mindset or circumstances.
I would have stayed at home tonight.
Expressing a desire to have stayed at home instead.
There's nothing that you can do
No action can make everything completely new or different.
To make this all brand-new
There's no solution to the current situation.
Nothing here to save
There's nothing to save or salvage.
To make it go away.
No way to make the situation disappear.
You've never been so wrong.
Expressing a strong sense of being incorrect or mistaken.
So how can you ignore
Questioning how one can ignore a significant event.
When a fall from grace so high
A fall from a high position of grace shouldn't take so long.
Should never take so long
Reflecting on the length of time it takes to acknowledge a fall.
And say goodbye,
The act of saying goodbye is highlighted.
As you did today.
Reflecting on the events of the day and expressing dissatisfaction.
So the speed of light remains
The speed of light remains constant.
Ever-constantly the same
It stays the same consistently.
Begin tonight as it did today.
Beginning tonight in the same way as it did today.
