Azzurra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There are people passing by
The keys are lost
Should I knock, try once more
But I′ve been here for a while
My hands are stones
There is no one in the apartment behind
It's just the shine of my broken mind
And my longest cry
Let me in
Though you′re gone
I'll be quiet
You won't know
Am i lyin on your floor
There′s a voice that sounds like mine
My eyes are closed
But there′s no one in the apartment behind
There is no one who could tell a lie
It's just the shine of my broken mind
Of my longest cry
Let me in
Though you′re gone
I'll be quiet
You won′t know
There's a light through the door
There′s a light on your floor
I walk slow till it's dawn
I can't get outside
Where′s the shine Of my mind
Is it time for some light
Where is the blow that will take me out
The lyrics to Azzurra's song "Shining" describe a seemingly hopeless situation where the singer is standing outside an apartment complex, trying to gain entry but unable to do so due to lost keys. The imagery of "broken glass hard bricks wall" highlights the physical barrier that the singer is facing, while the description of "people passing by" may indicate a sense of urgency to enter the apartment. The repetition of the line "let me in" suggests a greater emotional longing beyond just gaining physical entry, as if the singer is seeking closure or resolution.
As the song progresses, we learn that the apartment is actually empty, with "no one in the apartment behind" who can offer answers or comfort. The phrase "it's just the shine of my broken mind" introduces a new layer of introspection, suggesting that the singer's own mental state may be contributing to the sense of despair. This is echoed in the line "where's the shine of my mind", which further emphasizes the duality of light and darkness within the singer's psyche.
