It Won't Be Long
Beacon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when the feeling's gone, you're not the only one
It's under your skin, over your bones
In you're footsteps, I hear your pulse
The slightest movement, I know we're not alone
I turn to catch your arm, before I fall
Into the dark, under the storm
Where I wait for you, to bring the sun
I can wait for you, to bring the sun
Don't leave me alone
The lyrics of Beacon's song "It Won't Be Long" convey a sense of inevitability and anticipation. The singer suggests that it won't be long before the listener wants more, implying an addictive quality to the experience they share. However, the singer also acknowledges that the feeling will eventually fade, and that the listener is not the only one experiencing it. The imagery of the lyrics is evocative, with phrases such as "under your skin, over your bones" suggestive of a deep connection that cannot be easily severed. The listener's presence is felt through the sound of their footsteps and pulse, creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy.
As the song progresses, the tone shifts from anticipation to a sense of danger. The singer fears falling into darkness and being alone, suggesting that the connection they share with the listener is vital to their sense of self. The imagery of the storm suggests a chaotic and unpredictable force that can only be mitigated by the listener's presence. The final plea of "don't leave me alone" reinforces the idea that the singer views the listener as a source of stability and light in an otherwise dark and tumultuous world.
