This Moment
C Chagall feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For way too many miles now
I've been flying with broken wings
(And now I'm falling faster to the ground
And it's a bitter end to a story so sweet
Like a long lost friend
That's never found a way back to me
Got me all locked up inside
And you hold the key
All that I need is this moment
To send me away with a smile on my face
I tried to leave but I turn back
On my heart remains a trace
All that I seek is this moment
All day in my mind I recreate
If there was a way to get back
This feeling of chase of chase
All that I need is this moment
This moment
These lyrics talk about a person who has been running with an empty heart for a long time. They have been flying with broken wings and now they are about to fall faster to the ground. They refer to a story that ended abruptly, just like a long lost friend who never found their way back to them. The memories of this person seem to have locked them up inside, and only one person holds the key to their freedom. They describe how all they need right now is this moment to send them away with a smile on their face. Although they have tried to move on, they always find themselves coming back to the same place where their heart remains. They seek this moment all day in their minds, and if there was a way to get back the feeling of chase, they would do anything to have it back.
The lyrics describe the feeling of being lost and brokenhearted, and how sometimes all we need is a moment to forget our pain and smile again. The broken wings may symbolize the loss of hope and the inability to fly high, while being locked up inside represents the pain and the hurt that has been holding back this person's true emotions. The key holder might refer to that special person who can unlock the hidden emotions, and who can help them move on from the past.
