Milky Way
Aliocha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
from the furthest edge of memory out of sight
Will the sky begin to fall
No one knows at all, no one knows
I can almost hear the echoes of the past
From the voices of the years gone by so fast
I'm using all my might to try and find the light
In the milky way tonight
Were a million mile away
The world's not what it seems
And it's changing every, changing every day
It seems our hopes and dreams
Are a million miles away
The world's not what it seems
And it's changing every, changing every day
I could swear I heard a whisper on the wind
Telling me again what might have been
In the fading firelight I can see your face so bright
In the milky way tonight
In the milky way tonight
I can almost see the milky way tonight
(end)
The lyrics of Aliocha's Milky Way dive deep into the idea of reminiscence, nostalgia and longing. The artist is gazing at the stars and marveling at the beauty of the Milky Way, while simultaneously looking back at his past, the memories he holds and the people who have been a part of his life but are now distant. He finds himself pondering over the uncertainties of the future - will the sky eventually fall? - and the fleeting nature of time, as he hears the echoes of those who are no longer with him. He yearns to find some semblance of clarity and light within the vast uncharted territory of the Milky Way.
The second verse reiterates the themes mentioned earlier, with the use of repetition adding a sense of deepening sorrow and anguish. The idea of hopes and dreams being a million miles away is echoed, highlighting the distance between where the artist wants to be, and where he actually is. The line 'The world's not what it seems' implies a disillusionment, a realization that the world is not what he expected or hoped for, and it is constantly changing, leaving him disoriented and unmoored.
Overall, the song is a poetic contemplation on the nature of life, the transient nature of time and the importance of holding on to memories and people who were once dear to us. It is a haunting, melancholic song that encourages us to keep searching for light, even in the vastness of a seemingly infinite universe.
