Edison Glass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Night shines like the day
Arms who's reach,
Through Heaven and Hell
Evernear
In starlight and sunshine, so marvelous,
Thoughts can't contain In story and song,
(Define love)
Thoughts for me an endless dream,
I sleep to sounds of love
A whisper wakens
My ears to hear
You are there
The opening lines of Edison Glass's song Starlight emphasize the all-pervading and ever-illuminating character of the night sky. The metaphor of darkness being powerless to hide the night, which shines as brightly as day, points to the overarching theme of the song, which is the magnificence of love that transcends any barriers or boundaries. The next two lines are more suggestive and enigmatic, referring to "arms who's reach through Heaven and Hell, ever near." This could be interpreted as a description of an all-encompassing embrace of love that can traverse all realms and dimensions, or possibly a more ominous image of love as something that emerges from the infernal depths just as much as it does from celestial heights.
The chorus of the song continues to express the ineffable and limitless nature of love, using the imagery of starlight and sunshine as symbols of its radiance and beauty. The implication is that no matter how deeply one contemplates or tries to articulate the essence of love, it will always outstrip any verbal or intellectual grasp. The line "words can't define love" reinforces this notion, positioning love as something utterly beyond the realm of language. The final verse of the song is more intimate and personal, expressing a sense of being enveloped and comforted by love while in a state of slumber. The lyric "A whisper wakens, my ears to hear, you are there" suggests that love is a presence that permeates even the deepest levels of consciousness and can provide solace to the soul.
