Mezzanine
Unveiling Night's Silent Yearning: Mezzanine's Enigmatic Tale
Lyrics
I could sense the static
I sensed a disturbance or tension.
Must have been the season
The cause might be related to the season.
Climbed into the attic
I went into a hidden or secluded place.
Looking for the reason
I searched for an explanation or purpose.
She came up to find me
Someone approached me.
Saw me in the rafters
They saw me in an elevated position.
Just stood there behind me
They stood silently behind me.
Asked what I was after
They inquired about my intentions.
I thought she was stronger
I underestimated her strength.
She said “I'm a sparrow
She identified as fragile, like a sparrow.
I can't stay here much longer
She couldn't endure the current situation for long.
Up here it's all hollow”
The elevated place lacks substance or depth.
She took time in leaving
She took her time to depart.
Said she must be going
She expressed the need to leave.
Up here in the evening
During the evening in the elevated space.
I had no way of knowing
I had no foresight or understanding.
She's day, I'm night
She represents day, while I represent night.
Is it wrong that I'm right?
Questioning the morality of being correct in this context.
In this loft I'm lying
In the elevated space, I am lying down.
Darkness starts me yawning
Darkness makes me yawn or feel tired.
Dusk brings clouds on crying
Dusk brings clouds and rain.
Rain on eve and awning
Rain falls on the evening and its covering.
Down there she is sleeping
She is sleeping below.
Warm-lit fireside scene
A scene of warmth and light by the fireside.
She wakes to hear me creeping
She awakens to hear me moving.
Down from my mezzanine
I descend from my elevated position.
This girl, this roof
Reference to the girl and the roof, suggesting a connection.
This world is leakproof
The world they share is secure or impermeable.
This world, this roof
The world and the roof are secure, and the girl is impermeable.
This girl is leakproof
Reiteration of the girl's impermeability in their shared world.
