Lyrics
Oh it hasn't been that long
It hasn't been a considerable amount of time
Since the fall of rain
Since the last rainfall
Hasn't been that long
A repetition emphasizing the short duration
Since the watered eyes
Since crying or tears were shed
I've been on my own
I've been alone
No swimming to safety
No easy escape or rescue
Hasn't been a home
There hasn't been a place to call home
Since the water's rise
Since the water levels increased
Singing to save me
Singing as a means of self-preservation
I've been on my own
I've been by myself
Never alone
Despite being alone, not feeling loneliness
Oh there hasn't been a song
No song created for communal singing
For the choir to sing
Lack of music for a group to participate in
Hasn't been a song
No song that resonates deeply with more than just the singer
For more than me
More profound meaning or relevance for others absent in the songs
Oh there's a message in the stars
There's significance or guidance in celestial bodies
Church of the solitary
A metaphorical reference to a solitary place of worship
Purpose in the sound
Meaningful intention or reason within the music/sound
Of the lights that sing
Implying the stars have a vocal quality
Singing to save me
Singing as a method of self-preservation
I've been on my own
Despite solitude, not experiencing loneliness
Never alone
Reiteration of not feeling alone despite being solitary
Love is a melody I can't control
Love is an uncontrollable tune
Deep calling deep
A deep emotional connection or communication
Running straight through my soul
Intense emotions piercing through the essence of the singer
Love is a current
Love is a continuous and powerful force
Joy is to flow
Joy is to be freely expressed and experienced
Love is a melody I can't control
Love's melody cannot be controlled by the singer
