There's a lull in my life
Cyrille Aimee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just a void, an 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 world stops turning
Everything stops but that flame in my heart
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
The lull in my life

The singer is left with a chasm in their life without their beloved. They feel that the very essence of their existence is compromised when their partner is not there to share in it with them. The lyrics further emphasize this point when they say, "When you are not in my embrace... There is no night, there is no day." The singer feels that their life has become a void without their partner.
The lyrics of the song create an atmosphere of longing and desire for the person who has gone away. The phrase "The clock stops ticking, the world stops turning" emphasizes the intense longing for their loved one. The only thing that remains is the flame of their love, which keeps on burning despite the lack of their partner's presence. Ultimately, the singer accepts that this lull in their life is not just an emotional state, but a physical one as well. They know deep down that only their partner can fill the void that they feel.
Overall, this song is a touching ode to love and togetherness. It underscores the importance of having someone special in one's life and the fundamental impact that they have on one's mood, emotions, and well-being.
