Twilight
Corpus Delicti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I face the wind as I'm taking the road
I take a breath in the arresting air
From the trees, thousands of voices
And the light goes darker as I walk
As I dream, as I sink, I escape in the night
And watch the others' life
I take a breath in the air
Like a rose they are bursting to the eye
As I walk in the twilight
There's a shape now that comes through
There were better times, there bettter times
The eyes wide-open, no more scared of anything
There were better times, there were better times
My look wide-open, slipping to horizon
The weight away from me, I felt as safe as free
I thought the world was half a kind of crazy, gentle heaven
And the noise that I can touch
Gives me flesh creep and terror
As I know I'm undoubtedly alone
In a world that can never give hope
Who cares... Not even you
Reach out your hands I'm down
The lyrics of Twilight by Corpus Delicti evoke a sense of isolation and despair. The singer seems to be alone in the darkness, with only the wind and the trees for company. The darkness grows as they walk, and they are lost in a dream-like state, watching the others' lives but not feeling a part of them. They take a breath, trying to make sense of the moment and the doubts that plague them. The moments are fleeting, uncertain, and like a rose about to burst open to the eye.
Amidst this darkness, a shape comes through. It reminds them of better times, times when their eyes were open wide, and they weren't afraid of anything. They felt safe and free, unencumbered by the weight that they carried. But those times are gone, and the singer is left alone in a world that can never give hope. The noise around them only adds to their dread, and they appeal to someone, anyone, to reach out their hands and offer comfort. But it seems that no one cares, not even the person they are appealing to.
Overall, the lyrics of Twilight are a haunting depiction of loneliness and uncertainty in a world that seems devoid of hope. The singer is lost in the darkness and cannot find their way out, and the only source of comfort is a distant memory of better times.
