Lights
Govs Lyrics

In the painted silver light
Underneath the glow of a silver light, possibly a street light, I witnessed the movement of the person I desire.

I watched you gently move
I observed you moving slowly and smoothly in my direction, as though the world was standing still.

Now, in the cold early dawn
Currently, during the chilly morning hours before sunrise, I yearn for the image of you in my mind once again.

I long to have that vision in my head again
My heart aches for the return of the comforting memory of seeing you move gracefully in front of me.

Conjure, as I may, my guilt won't let me sleep
Despite my attempts to bring back the positive memory of you, my guilt is preventing me from finding peace.

Now I know what it means
Through my experiences, I understand the true meaning of holding onto something or someone and then losing it.

To have and to hold
To possess and cherish someone or something, keeping them close and treasuring them.

To let go and to lose
To release one's grip on something, allowing it to slip away completely, resulting in a sense of emptiness.

[Chorus] In the screaming silence
In a silent environment, my inner screams and turmoil are the only things that I can hear.

I try to lose myself
To escape my own thoughts and emotions by distracting myself from them.

But there is no hiding place
There is no safe haven where I can escape from the painful memories and emotions that haunt me.

Here they come again
The memories and emotions that trouble me are returning once again, without warning or invitation.

Those voices, they'll be with me till the end
The thoughts and feelings that plague my mind will always be a part of me, even until my dying day.

Maybe it helps the pain
Perhaps distracting myself is a temporary relief for the emotional pain I feel.

How would I know?
I am uncertain whether my coping mechanisms are actually helping or just prolonging my suffering.

I never slow down long enough
I constantly keep myself busy and distracted, never stopping to truly confront my emotions and deal with them.

But, ain't life funny
Despite the pain and confusion I am going through, life can still be strange and unpredictable at times.

I don't know if I will ever see you again
I am unsure whether I will ever have the pleasure of seeing you again in my life.

And I'll keep on watching you
However, I will continue to observe you from a distance, cherishing the memories that I hold onto dearly.

[Chorus: x2]
The same intense emotions and struggles continue to plague me in the midst of silence.

Seven days I watched the sun come rising
For seven consecutive days, I have watched the sunrise, as though time has slowed down completely.

No sleep for the wicked
Perhaps due to my ongoing emotional torment, I have been unable to sleep peacefully or at all.

Seven nights I lie awake
For seven long and harrowing nights, I have laid in my bed without rest, consumed by my thoughts and emotions.

While my mind drifted across valley and streams
As I laid awake, my mind wandered far from my physical surroundings, drifting through valleys and streams in a state of confusion.

Shadows everywhere
In this state of mind, shadows and dark thoughts loom over my entire being, adding to the weight of my burden.

Still I search for some kind of sign
Despite my struggles, I continue to look for a sign of hope or guidance, a beacon of light to lead me out of this darkness.

But, in the painted silver light
Once again, my only comfort lies in the same silver light that illuminated you before, hoping to find solace in this memory.

I'll come running
I will continue to chase after this memory, longing for the connection and comfort that it brings.
