Dark Come Soon
Longing Shadows: Embracing Darkness in Tegan and Sara's Melody
Lyrics
Dark, you can't come soon enough for me
Expressing a longing for darkness to arrive quickly.
Saved, from one more day of misery
Relieved to be saved from another day of misery.
Everything I love
Referring to everything the speaker loves.
Get back for me now
Asking for the return of something beloved.
Everyone I love
Expressing the importance of everyone the speaker loves.
I need you now
Expressing an urgent need for someone or something.
Don't forget a million miles for me
Asking not to be forgotten despite being distant.
Safe and another day passed by me
Feeling safe as another day passes.
Everything I love
Referring to everything the speaker loves again.
Get back for me now
Requesting the return of something beloved again.
Everyone I love
Emphasizing the importance of everyone the speaker loves.
I need you now
Expressing an urgent need for someone or something again.
So what, I lied
Admitting to lying.
I'd lie to me too (so what?)
Acknowledging the possibility of self-deception.
So what, I lied
Reiterating the admission of lying.
I'd lie to me too (so what?)
Acknowledging the possibility of self-deception again.
Hold out for the ones you know will love you
Encouraging waiting for those who genuinely love you.
Hide out from the ones you know will love you
Suggesting hiding from those who may not genuinely love you.
You, you too
Including oneself in the need to be cautious about love.
Right to the edge I'm barely there
Describing a state of being close to the edge.
Slow
Describing a slow movement or progression.
To make my move, I'm almost there
Almost reaching a point where a decision or action is made.
Everything I say
Highlighting that everything said is directed inward, to oneself.
I say to me first
Emphasizing self-reflection in speech.
Everything I do
Stating that all actions are first directed towards oneself.
I do to me first
Emphasizing self-reflection in actions.
(So what?) so what, I lied
Reiterating the admission of lying, possibly with indifference.
I'd lie to me too (so what?)
Acknowledging the potential for self-deception without concern.
So what, I lied
Reiterating the admission of lying, possibly with indifference.
I'd lie to me too (so what?)
Acknowledging the potential for self-deception without concern again.
Hold out for the ones you know will love you
Encouraging waiting for those who genuinely love you, repetition.
Hide out from the ones you know will love you
Suggesting hiding from those who may not genuinely love you, repetition.
You, you too
Including oneself in the need to be cautious about love, repetition.
Dark, you can't come soon enough for me
Reiterating the longing for darkness to arrive quickly, repetition.
