Morning Light
EMORIE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come and haunt me
Oh you do
Do it so lovely
Wake from a daydream
Oh to find
I erase me
Ooh closing my eyes just to dream of you at night
Ooh there’s nothing as lovely as you in the morning light
Time turning order
Find home on your shoulder
Lay with me closer
Oh wait another moment
Ooh I close my eyes just to dream of you at night
Ooh there’s nothing as lovely as you in the morning light
Ooh for this sanctuary I will sacrifice
Ooh there’s nothing as lovely as you in the morning light
Not a soundtrack so lovely as birdsong and quiet sighs
Oh you color the days with your voice it’s my lullaby
Holding onto something so sacred as you and I
Protected by softness
The newness of morning light
Ooh I close my eyes just to dream of you at night
Ooh there’s nothing as lovely as you in the morning light
Oohs
In "Morning Light" by EMORIE, the singer is longing for the presence of a loved one who seems to have a haunting effect on them. The first two lines, "Oh come, come and haunt me / Oh you do, do it so lovely" suggest that the presence of this person, even if it's not physical, is desirable despite the haunting quality it holds. The second stanza, "Wake from a daydream / Oh to find / I erase me" could imply that the singer is daydreaming about this person so much that it's making them lose focus on their own self. The lines, "closing my eyes just to dream of you at night [...] there’s nothing as lovely as you in the morning light" indicate that the singer's longing doesn't end when they're asleep and that they look forward to the moments when they can see this person in the morning light, when the world is fresh and new.
The third stanza, "Time turning order / Find home on your shoulder / Lay with me closer / Oh wait another moment" suggests that the singer sees this person as a safe haven and is willing to put everything on hold just to be close to them for a little while. In the fourth stanza, "Not a soundtrack so lovely as birdsong and quiet sighs / Oh you color the days with your voice it’s my lullaby / Holding onto something so sacred as you and I / Protected by softness, the newness of morning light," the singer compares the sound of this person's voice to the beauty of nature and finds comfort in it. The mention of protection and newness in the final line suggests that the singer feels safe and optimistic when they're near this person.
