The Lights Are Going Out
Ethereal Descent: A World Fading into Darkness
Lyrics
There's a painting on the wall
Observing a new painting on the wall that suddenly appeared.
That wasn't there at all
Highlighting the unexpected nature of the new painting.
Ten minutes ago
Emphasizing the recent and sudden change within the last ten minutes.
There's a girl who walks the line
Referring to a constant presence or influence in one's life.
She's with you all the time
Describing the constant companionship of the girl who is always present.
She won't let go
Expressing difficulty in letting go of this persistent connection.
And I can't see me with another girl
Declaring a preference for a specific person, unable to imagine being with someone else.
As everything slows down across the world
Feeling a slowing down of everything globally, possibly reflecting a personal emotional state.
The lights are going out
Announcing the gradual dimming or extinguishing of lights.
One by one
Describing the sequential disappearance of lights one by one.
Across the world
Reiterating the spreading darkness across the world.
With faces turning down
Depicting a somber atmosphere with people looking down, possibly in sadness or reflection.
The night will hide the sound
Suggesting that the night conceals or muffles certain sounds.
She comes to you
Introducing a feminine figure who approaches.
And I can't see me with another girl
Repeating the difficulty in envisioning a connection with someone else.
As everything slows down across the world
Reiterating the global slowdown effect on personal experiences.
In a harbor safe from storm
Describing a safe place protected from disturbances or challenges.
She waits for darkened forms
Waiting for obscured or hidden figures, possibly symbolizing anticipation.
She's seen you there
Confirming awareness of the observer's presence.
And time and time again
Repeating encounters over time.
You hear her call your name
Hearing a call or summons from the girl.
She calls for you
Receiving a repeated call from the girl.
And I can't see me with another girl
Expressing continued difficulty in imagining a connection with someone else.
As everything slows down across the world
Reiterating the global slowdown effect on personal experiences.
The lights are going out
Reaffirming the gradual extinguishing of lights.
One by one
Detailing the step-by-step disappearance of lights.
Across the world
Emphasizing the spreading darkness globally.
The lights are going out
Repeating the gradual dimming or extinguishing of lights.
One by one
Describing the sequential disappearance of lights one by one.
Across the world...
Concluding with the global impact of lights going out.
