Lyrics
In the flinty night, it's midnight
In a harsh, flint-like darkness, it's midnight
And the stars collide
The stars are crashing or coming together
Shadows run, in full flight
Shadows are rapidly moving
To run, seek and hide
They seek to escape and conceal themselves
I'm still not sure what part I play
The singer is uncertain about their role in the situation
in this shadow play, this shadow play
They feel involved in this enigmatic situation
In the half light, on this mad night
In dim light, during this chaotic night
I hear a voice in time
A voice is heard, seemingly from the past
Well I look back, see a half-smile
The singer reminisces but the memory fades quickly
Then it's gone from sight
It disappears suddenly
Won't you tell me how I can find my way?
The plea for guidance to find direction
In this shadow play, shadow play
Reiteration of being part of this mysterious drama
This shadow play, shadow play
Emphasis on the complexity of this enigma
Sounds come crashing
Loud noises are heard
And I hear laughing
Laughter accompanies the sounds
All those lights just blaze away
Many lights shine brightly
I feel a little strange inside
The singer feels peculiar or uncomfortable internally
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mrs. Hyde
Experiencing dual or conflicting emotions
Sounds come crashing
Similar sounds and laughter are repeated
And I hear laughing
Reiteration of laughter accompanying crashing sounds
All those lights just blaze away
The brightness of the lights continues
I feel a little strange inside
The internal discomfort persists
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mrs. Hyde
A metaphorical reference to conflicting personalities
Thoughts run wild, free as a child
Thoughts are running wildly and freely
Into the night
Escaping into the night like a carefree child
And across the screen of a thin beam
An imagery of a magical light's projection
Of magic light
However, the situation seems different or distorted
But things they just don't look the same
Things aren’t as they appear in this puzzling situation
In this shadow play,shadow play
Reiteration of being part of this mysterious drama
This shadow play, shadow play
Reemphasizing the complexity of this enigma
Help me find my way
Asking for assistance to navigate through this
From this shadow play
An earnest desire to escape this mysterious drama
I want to get away
Expressing the wish to break free from this situation
From this shadow play
Reiteration of wanting to escape this mysterious drama
This shadow
Conclusion, reiterating the shadowy nature of the situation
