Judy
Whispers of Emerald Dreams: Pernice Brothers' Enchanting Night
Lyrics
Tonight is long, the television's on
Tonight is prolonged, the television is switched on
So soft, so low
Soft and low
She feels a scream, we'll be an emerald green
She experiences a feeling akin to a scream, suggesting intense emotions; the color green may symbolize envy or growth
So close you sleep
Close enough to sleep
And I don't always mind
Not always bothered by the silence it brings
The quiet that it brings
The quiet is not always unwelcome
So let's pretend our lives will never end
Let's imagine that our lives will never come to an end
Somehow, some way
Despite uncertainties, there is a belief that somehow, in some way, life will continue
And I won't always mind
Not always bothered by the certainty that leads to doubt
The certainty it leaves in doubt
A paradoxical reference to the certainty causing doubt, suggesting complexity in life's certainties
The quiet danger, strange to stranger
Refers to a quiet danger and encounters with strangers
Tell her that you saw me
Encourages someone to inform a person named Judy that they saw the speaker
Tell her that you saw me
Reiteration of the request to tell Judy that the speaker was seen
Would you please, would you please, would you please?
A polite repetition of the request
There's somewhere in her song
There is a part in her expression or song where there is minimal movement, as if both individuals are absent or distant
You hardly move at all like both of you are gone
Emphasizes the lack of movement, possibly signifying emotional detachment or a sense of absence
You hardly move at all like both of you are gone
Reiteration of the previous line, reinforcing the idea of minimal movement or emotional stagnation
Tell her that you saw me
A repetition of the request to inform Judy that the speaker was seen
