Moment
Gal Musette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would say goodbye to you
If upon a moment's whim
I could say goodbye again
The world is a forest to me
Your voice is a fallen tree
So if you said goodbye to me
I'd never hear a sound
I'd come knocking at your door
Take you out into the sun
Cancel out the damage done
But time is nothing like a clock
That you can wind, that you can block
So why use words, they hold no stock
It doesn't matter now
If you're gone
You're gone
You're long
If you're gone
You're gone
You're long long
Long gone
The moment wasn't right
The moment wasn't right
The moment wasn't right
If I had a moment to
I would say "hello" again
Summon every chance I missed
Relive every single kiss
But everything is ridden of you
My voice is forbidden through
So if I said goodbye to you
It never would exist
If you're gone
You're gone
You're long
If you're gone
You're gone
You're long long
Long gone
In these lyrics, Gal Musette expresses the desire to say goodbye to someone if given the opportunity. The repetition of the phrase "If I had a moment to" suggests a longing for closure or resolution in the relationship. The idea of saying goodbye again implies a longing to end the connection with this person, possibly due to the pain they have caused.
The lyrics continue with the metaphor that the world is a forest and the person's voice is a fallen tree. This imagery suggests that the person's presence used to hold significance, but now it no longer has an impact. The line "So if you said goodbye to me, I'd never hear a sound" indicates that the singer has emotionally detached from the person and any words they may say would have no effect.
The second paragraph takes a different direction, expressing the desire to have more time with this person. The singer wants to knock on their door, take them out into the sun, and undo the damage that has been done in the relationship. The mention of time being different from a clock emphasizes the impossibility of reversing what has happened. The repetition of the phrase "It doesn't matter now" suggests a resignation to the fact that the person is gone, and their absence is irreversible.
The refrain "If you're gone, you're gone, you're long" reinforces the theme of acceptance and the finality of the person's departure. The repetition of "long gone" further emphasizes the permanent nature of their absence. The phrase "The moment wasn't right" suggests that the timing was not favorable for the singer to express their true feelings or desire for the relationship to continue.
In the final section, the singer contemplates the idea of saying "hello" again and reliving missed chances and kisses. However, the line "everything is ridden of you, my voice is forbidden through" indicates that the singer has moved on and speaking to this person again would hold no meaning or value. The lyrics end with the assertion that if the person is gone, they are gone for good, reaffirming the acceptance of their absence.
Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of longing, regret, and acceptance towards the relationship and the person's departure. The singer wishes for closure and resolution but ultimately understands that moving on is the only option.

If I had a moment to
If I had an opportunity
I would say goodbye to you
I would bid farewell to you
If upon a moment's whim
If on a spontaneous impulse
I could say goodbye again
I could utter farewell once more
The world is a forest to me
The world feels vast and unknown to me
Your voice is a fallen tree
Your voice is muted and silenced
So if you said goodbye to me
So if you bid farewell to me
I'd never hear a sound
I would never perceive any sound
If I had a moment more
If I had a bit more time
I'd come knocking at your door
I would approach your door and seek entrance
Take you out into the sun
Escort you outside into the sunlight
Cancel out the damage done
Negate the negative consequences
But time is nothing like a clock
But time does not function like a clock
That you can wind, that you can block
That you can wind up or obstruct
So why use words, they hold no stock
So why rely on words, they carry no weight
It doesn't matter now
It is inconsequential now
If you're gone
If you are no longer here
You're long
You have been absent for a while
If you're gone
If you are no longer here
You're long long
You have been gone for a considerable time
Long gone
Far gone, completely absent
The moment wasn't right
The timing was not appropriate
The moment wasn't right
The timing was not suitable
The moment wasn't right
The timing was not favorable
If I had a moment to
If I had an opportunity
I would say "hello" again
I would greet you once more
Summon every chance I missed
Call upon every opportunity I let slip away
Relive every single kiss
Experience again each and every kiss
But everything is ridden of you
But everything is devoid of you
My voice is forbidden through
My voice is prohibited from reaching you
So if I said goodbye to you
So if I bid farewell to you
It never would exist
It would never come into being
If you're gone
If you are no longer here
You're long
You have been absent for a while
If you're gone
If you are no longer here
You're long long
You have been gone for a considerable time
Long gone
Far gone, completely absent
