The Candle Burned Out
Echoes of Curiosity: The Candle's Silent Tale
Lyrics
Everyone is coming home
Everyone is returning home.
You can hear the sound from miles
The sound of their arrival can be heard from a great distance.
I try to turn it up
The speaker attempts to increase the volume.
They turn it down
Others decrease the volume.
The only noise is from the ground
The only noticeable noise is from the ground.
And I know
The speaker has awareness or understanding.
They're just curious
Others are merely inquisitive.
And they stand
They stand.
And they look at us
They observe the speaker.
Oh oh
Expressing a musical refrain without explicit meaning.
Oh oh
-Everyone who knows the law
Those knowledgeable about the law.
Wants to cops or hear they know
They desire to either be cops or hear about law enforcement.
Try to lock you up
Attempt to imprison.
You lock it in
The speaker resists being confined.
The line between us is so thin
The boundary between the speaker and others is fragile.
And I know
The speaker understands.
They're just curious
Others are driven by curiosity.
And they stand
They stand, observing.
And they look at us
They look at the speaker.
Oh oh
Repetition of a musical refrain without explicit meaning.
Oh oh
-The candle the burned out
The candle has extinguished.
The candle burned
The candle has burned.
Oh, the candle burned out
Repetition emphasizing the extinguished candle.
Oh, the candle burned out
-Oh, the candle burned out
-Oh, the candle burned out
-Oh oh
Repetition of a musical refrain without explicit meaning.
The candle burned out
Repetition emphasizing the extinguished candle.
They try to lock you up (the candle burned out)
Attempts to imprison the speaker, related to the extinguished candle.
They try to lock you up (the candle burned out)
-They try to lock you up (Oh the candle burned out)
