Morning Dawning
Creatures Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The dawning is over
The morning is over
And I can't look into your eyes
A cold November morning

A shivering new dawning
I watched your energy slide
It's sad to see it dying
That fire once so lively

Now three tears have fallen from my eyes
A dampened need for fire
A kindled desire
The power just vanished from your eyes

This feeling is crying
The sea it is sighing
For spirits that just give up and die
The dawning is over





The mourning is over
I still can't look into your eyes

The dawning is over
The beginning has ended


The morning is over
The start of the day has come to a close


And I can't look into your eyes
I cannot bring myself to make eye contact with you


A cold November morning
A chilly morning in November


A shivering new dawning
A trembling start to something new


I watched your energy slide
I witnessed your vitality decrease


It's sad to see it dying
It is unfortunate to observe it passing away


That fire once so lively
That energy that was once so vibrant


Now three tears have fallen from my eyes
I have wept three tears


A dampened need for fire
A subdued desire for passion


A kindled desire
A revived longing


The power just vanished from your eyes
The energy suddenly disappeared from your gaze


This feeling is crying
This emotion is weeping


The sea it is sighing
The ocean is exhaling deeply


For spirits that just give up and die
For souls that surrender and pass away


The mourning is over
The time for grieving has ended


I still can't look into your eyes
I am still unable to meet your gaze
