Eternal Love Amidst the Fading Sky
Lyrics
When the sky is turning red
Reference to a changing sky, possibly symbolizing transition or an ending
And sun bleeds out its last
Describing the sunset, metaphorically as the sun "bleeds out its last"
Would you know that I'd
Expressing enduring love over time
Have loved you all this time
Affirming a long-standing love despite periods of separation
Even through the lives we'd lived apart?
Acknowledging a history of living separate lives but still in love
Nights would raise no dawns
Highlighting nights without new beginnings or hope
And all those centuries burn
Describing the passing of time with the image of centuries burning
I'd turn around, turn around
Expressing a desire to turn around and be present with a loved one
To fall awake with you there
Yearning to experience awakening with the presence of the loved one
Some piece of mind always kept
Emphasizing the comfort derived from a sense of security and peace of mind
Pure, if imperfectly born to life
Acknowledging the purity of existence, even if imperfect
I know it's not enough to hope
Recognizing the inadequacy of hope alone
When you can't stop imagining
Contemplating persistent thoughts and imagination, possibly about an uncertain future
An end as clear as night is black
Expressing a clear awareness of an inevitable end
Oh, I'd carry all your past
Willingness to carry the burden of a loved one's past
And feel you whole for once
Desiring to feel the entirety of the loved one's existence
If it takes us right up to
Commitment to experiencing life together until the end
When nights would raise no dawns
Reiteration of nights without hope or new beginnings
And all those centuries burn
Re-emphasizing the passage of time and its impact
As the oldest eyes see young
Observing the world through the perspective of experienced eyes
And not all lives end honest
Reflection on the honesty of life endings
