Moonstone
Eternal Sands: Unveiling the Enigmatic Journey in Moonstone
Lyrics
A thousand years from now
A distant future is envisioned.
The sun is gonna set on the desert in the West
The sun will set in the Western desert.
Underneath the Sands
Beneath the desert sands.
The wind is crying out like a memory from your past
The wind echoes like a haunting memory.
You’ve been out of town
You've been away, preoccupied with stories and uncertainties.
Worrying about all the stories and what’s next
Anxiety about the future.
I was sending out signals
Attempts to communicate signals.
From the last reservation of what’s left
Last remnants of what's available.
I’ll fall back into the rabbit hole
A retreat into introspection or escapism.
Of all the ways I tried to make it all alone
Reflecting on attempts to navigate life independently.
One more night up on the videophone
Nostalgia for past interactions via video calls.
The time’s right now if it’s really coming back
An urgency for the present moment's significance.
The Moonstone
The Moonstone - a symbol or metaphor.
You said you saw it in a photograph
Recollection of seeing it in a photograph.
The sun is up but I can’t check my phone
Despite the sunrise, unable to check communication.
Couldn’t hear you through the simulcast
Difficulty hearing amidst a simulcast (simultaneous broadcast).
Been hid away just to make it through the spring
Isolation endured to survive the challenges of spring.
I know the nights out are wearing you down
Acknowledgment of the toll of nocturnal activities.
Like the moonstone that you found
Comparing a found moonstone to emotional states.
Said we lost track, time’s not coming back
Recognition of lost time and irreversibility.
I know what I am
A self-aware declaration of identity.
So stop me if you’ve heard this one before
A request to intervene if the narrative is familiar.
But I’ve been good if you really need to know
A claim of virtuous behavior if clarification is sought.
I’ll fall back into the rabbit hole
A potential return to introspection or escapism.
Of all the ways I tried to get you on your own
Reflecting on efforts to connect with someone.
All the nights we spent up on the phone
Nights spent communicating via phone.
The time’s right now if you wanna come home
Emphasizing the current opportunity for reunion.
All falls down and we broke the code
A mention of collapse and breaking of established patterns.
When every night we seemed to hit a new low
Recurring challenges leading to new lows.
If you don’t tell me then I never would know
The importance of communication for understanding.
The time’s right now if you wanna come home
Reiteration of the present moment's significance for return.
The Moonstone
Reaffirmation of the Moonstone's symbolic importance.
