Lyrics
Listen to the crickets in my heart
Expressing a metaphorical silence or emptiness within, likened to the sound of crickets in the night.
Can you hear that sound?
Prompting the listener to pay attention to a particular auditory experience.
Dusk and the tide goes out
Describing a specific time, dusk, and the receding tide, setting a contemplative atmosphere.
Your feet in the sand
Imagery of standing on the beach with your feet in the sand, perhaps symbolizing stability or rootedness.
Everyone of us has felt the lights go down
Shared human experience of facing challenges or difficulties.
Everyone of us has felt our heart beat pound
Commonality in feeling the intensity of one's heartbeat, suggesting emotional resonance.
Everyone of us has felt it on our own
Reflecting on individual experiences that shape one's journey.
Lo and behold you were here now you're gone
A sense of surprise or realization at the presence and subsequent absence of someone.
Lo and behold you were here now you're gone
Repetition for emphasis on the transient nature of connections.
Along the coast we could see time and space
Observing the surroundings, possibly metaphorical, and acknowledging the vastness of time and space.
And across the water it was all emptiness
Highlighting the emptiness or void across the water.
But I held you close, my cheek pressed up against yours
Intimacy and closeness amid the vastness, with tactile imagery of pressed cheeks.
And I could feel the hereafter out in front of us both
Sensing a future or destiny, symbolized as "hereafter," together.
Along the coast we could see time and space
Reiteration of the coastal imagery, emphasizing the perception of time and space.
And across the water it was all emptiness
Repeating the idea of emptiness across the water, creating a contrast.
But I held you close, my cheek pressed up against yours
Recalling the closeness, but now with the anticipation of a storm.
And we could feel the storm gathering in front of us both
Sensing a looming challenge or turbulence in the shared future.
Oh
Expressing emotions or reactions (possibly awe or realization) with simple vocalizations.
Oh
-Oh
-Oh
-Everyone of us has felt the lights go down
Repetition of the earlier themes, underscoring the universality of shared experiences.
Everyone of us has felt our heart beat pound
-Everyone of us has felt the lights go down
-Everyone of us has felt our heart beat pound
-Everyone of us has felt it on our own
Reiterating the individual nature of facing challenges and experiences.
Lo and behold you were here now you're gone
Repetition emphasizing the transient nature of connections, with a sense of acknowledgment.
Lo and behold you were here now you're gone
