Lyrics
It's bleak in November
Describing a gloomy atmosphere in November.
Back on the street where the city doesn't laugh anymore
Returning to a city where joy has disappeared.
A last dance of the wind with the waste
Depicting a final interaction of the wind with discarded things.
Of a vanished and misplaced reality
Reflecting on a lost and displaced reality.
The things that we strived for
Realization that our pursuits were for things we already possessed.
Were only the things that we already had
Questioning how to cease when desires are fulfilled.
The question was: how to stop
Contemplating the challenge of stopping when satisfied.
When our desires had been satisfied
Acknowledging the fulfillment of desires.
Out in the streets and over seas
Anticipation of a collective final dance in various locations.
We'll all join the last dance which starts at dawn
Joining a symbolic last dance that commences at dawn.
When new stars are born
Symbolizing the birth of new opportunities or possibilities.
Don't break the silence
Advising against disrupting a moment of significance.
Never look back what is left
Avoiding dwelling on what is already past.
What has been before
Encouraging forward-looking rather than dwelling on the past.
When new stars are born
Reiterating the theme of new beginnings with the birth of stars.
A new day is dawning
Expressing hope for a new day emerging with the birth of stars.
Don't be afraid of what is gone
Discouraging fear of what is lost, emphasizing the future.
Or fear what's still to come
Encouraging courage in the face of the unknown future.
The streets are deserted
Describing empty streets providing space for reflection.
Laid bare with space to take a deep breath
Dancing alone while waiting for transformative changes.
We dance alone while waiting for the changes to begin
Expressing a desire for change but an inability to return to the past.
But can never reach the place where it began
Highlighting the impossibility of returning to the origin.
Now a new sun is rising
Welcoming a new beginning with the rising of the sun.
Hope I can do what ought to be done
Expressing a desire to fulfill responsibilities in the new era.
Break with the past to follow my heart
Breaking ties with the past to follow one's true feelings.
To reach for the last and final goal
Aspiring to achieve the ultimate and final objective.
Out in the streets and over seas
Reiterating the collective participation in the symbolic last dance.
We'll all join the last dance which starts at dawn
Joining the communal final dance that begins at dawn.
When new stars are born
Emphasizing the birth of new possibilities and opportunities.
This side, this world
Describing a unified world, voice, self, and journey.
One voice, one self
Emphasizing singularity in unity, suggesting a shared path.
One road, one last mile
Highlighting the concept of a singular, final journey or destination.
