Night and Day
Passionate Echoes: Night and Day's Timeless Longing
Lyrics
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
Comparing the consistent beat of a tom-tom drum to a rhythmic pattern.
When the jungle shadows fall
Referencing the time when shadows in the jungle appear, signifying a particular time of day.
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
Similar to the steady ticking sound of a grand clock, highlighting regularity.
As it stands against the wall
Describing the clock standing still against a wall, possibly signifying stagnancy or being stuck in one place.
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
Comparing the continuous sound of raindrops falling after a summer shower.
When the summer shower is through
When the rain stops, focusing on the lingering presence or thought of someone.
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
An internal voice repeatedly emphasizing the thought or presence of a particular person.
Night and day, you are the one
Expressing that the person being addressed is significant and all-encompassing in the speaker's life.
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Highlighting the exclusivity of the addressed person's importance, whether during the day or night.
Whether near to me, or far
Emphasizing the insignificance of physical distance in the relationship.
It's no matter darling where you are
Asserting that the location of the addressed person does not matter to the speaker.
I think of you
Continuously thinking about the addressed person.
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
Questioning the reason behind the persistent yearning and desire for the addressed person.
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
Expressing the continuous nature of longing for the addressed person regardless of the speaker's location.
In the roaring traffic's boom
Highlighting the presence of thoughts about the addressed person even in bustling, noisy environments.
In the silence of my lonely room
Contrasting the noisy environment with the silence of the speaker's private space, both filled with thoughts of the addressed person.
I think of you
Continuously having thoughts about the addressed person.
Day and night, night and day
Reiterating the persistent nature of thoughts and feelings about the addressed person.
Under the hide of me
Describing an intense yearning or desire felt within the speaker.
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
Expressing a strong, burning desire within the speaker for the addressed person.
And this torment won't be through
Stating that the emotional torment won't cease until the speaker can express their love physically.
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Desiring a lifelong commitment to making love to the addressed person.
Day and night, night and day
Reiterating the continuous nature of thoughts and feelings about the addressed person.
