Evening
Embracing Solitude: Pat Benatar's Heartfelt Evening Melody
Lyrics
Evening, every night you come and you find me
Expressing the recurrence of a specific time, "evening," where emotions resurface.
And you always remind me, that my baby's gone
Acknowledging a consistent reminder during the evening about the absence of a loved one.
Evening, you got me deeper in your power
Feeling increasingly influenced and affected by the emotions associated with the evening.
Every minute seems like an hour
Time seems to pass slowly, emphasizing the emotional burden since the departure of a significant other.
Now that my baby's gone
Reiterating the central theme of the absence of a beloved person during the evening.
Shadows fall upon the wall
Describing the visual effect of diminishing light, possibly mirroring the emotional darkness without the loved one.
That's the time I miss your kiss most of all
Highlighting a specific moment when the absence is most profoundly felt—during the falling shadows.
Even though I try, how can I go on
Expressing the difficulty of moving forward despite efforts, implying emotional struggle.
Oh evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
Requesting a respite from the emotional pain, asking for uninterrupted sleep until a new day begins.
I don't care if I don't awaken
Indifference to waking up, indicating a desire to escape the reality of the absence.
Since my baby's gone
Reinforcing the ongoing emotional impact of the departed loved one.
Shadows fall upon the wall
Repetition of the imagery of shadows falling, underscoring the persistent emotional struggle.
That's the time I miss your kiss most of all
Reiteration of the profound yearning for a missed kiss during the evening shadows.
Even though I try, how can I go on
Reaffirming the challenge of moving forward despite sincere efforts.
Evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
Restating the plea for undisturbed sleep until the dawn, emphasizing the desire for emotional relief.
I don't care if I don't awaken
Reiterating the indifference to waking up, suggesting a longing for escape from the painful reality.
Since my baby's gone
Closing with the enduring impact of the departed loved one on the singer's emotional state.
