In This Noon
Eternal Shadows: A Melodic Tale of Sunlit Loneliness
Lyrics
Please stand still and I will tell you
Inviting someone to stand still for a revelation or conversation.
About my secret loneliness
Revealing a hidden loneliness that the speaker has been experiencing.
I don't want the the sun to set
Expressing a desire for time to pause, not wanting the day to end.
I saw it rise and i felt warm
Recalling a moment of warmth and positive emotion when witnessing the sunrise.
We've been walking hand in hand
Describing a shared journey with someone, walking together hand in hand.
The shadows went along with us
Noting the presence of shadows accompanying the speaker and their companion.
Now i know it's late already
Realizing that it is already late in the day.
And the sunlight will turn red
Anticipating the change in sunlight color as it approaches sunset.
The first minute, after noon, it's night again
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of time, with day turning into night rapidly after noon.
In this noon stay, in this noon stay
Emphasizing the desire for the current moment to persist despite the approaching night.
The morning shadows fade away
Observing the disappearance of morning shadows as the day progresses.
They will grow longer throughout the day
Noting the lengthening of shadows as the day advances.
I focus my mind on this perfection
Focusing the mind on the beauty or perfection of the present moment.
Try to resist the decay
Attempting to resist or counteract the natural process of decay or decline.
If this faints, and then declines
Contemplating the possibility of a decline or fading, with an emphasis on resistance.
Remember this day and how the sun shone
Encouraging the listener to remember the brightness of the day and the shining sun.
Remember this day before the fading light
Emphasizing the importance of remembering the day before the light begins to fade.
Remember this day before the darkest night
Stressing the significance of remembering the day before it descends into the darkest night.
The first minute, after noon, it's night again
Reiterating the swift transition from noon to night, underscoring the theme of transience.
In this noon stay, in this noon stay
Repeating the plea for the current moment to endure despite the encroaching night.
