All my life
Carroll Gibbons and the Savoy Hotel Orpheans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just a void and empty space
When you are not in my embrace
Oh, there's a lull In my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day
The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning
That keeps burning, burning
Oh, oh, oh
There's a lull In my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end
the ache in my heart, the call of my arms
I know, darling, only you can end these things
And so, whatever happens, dear
I hope you're near, because
There is nothing sadder - only a lull in my life
Without you, life is just a void and empty space.
The song "There's A Lull In My Life" is a haunting and melancholic ballad that speaks to the emptiness felt when loved ones are not around. The lyrics speak to the concept of the "lull" as being a space that can only be filled by the presence of a particular person. The singer describes that when their loved one is not around, this space feels empty, and nothing seems to matter.
The song reflects on how this loss causes a feeling of longing and emptiness within the singer's heart. The world becomes still and unimportant without their loved one. The lyrics also show an inner conflict between pretending and trying to move on and the realization that only the presence of their loved one can truly bring an end to their heartache. In essence, the song is an emotional plea for the presence of the loved one to fill the emptiness and bring a sense of meaning back to life.
