Dusk
Grisly Faye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dusk
The bell sings twice
Lost in eternity it pours it's sad goodnight
Forgetting that his now is dusk twilight
And pause

Dawn
Little birds sing their little songs
But the bird that you've lately heard in the afternoon




Cuckoo boo-beeps

Overall Meaning

The song "Dusk" by Grisly Faye depicts a melancholic and reflective tone. The opening line "the bell sings twice" is a metaphorical reference to the passage of time. The bell represents a clock and the ringing signifies that time is not stopping, it keeps moving forward. The phrase "lost in eternity" suggests that the persona feels as if they're stuck in time, unable to move forward even though time is continuously passing. The bell pouring its sad goodnight symbolizes the end of something - perhaps a lost opportunity or relationship, and the realization that the current moment is just a fleeting moment, represented by "dusk twilight" - a moment that's neither day nor night, but the end of the day.


In the second verse, the persona reflects on the dawn. The juxtaposition of the evening and morning create a sense of pause and reflection. The little birds singing their little songs contrast the sad goodnight of the first verse, signifying hope and renewal. However, the "bird that you've lately heard in the afternoon, cuckoo boo-beeps" introduces an element of uncertainty, hidden meanings, and the possibility of missed opportunities.


Line by Line Meaning

Dusk
The time between day and night


The bell sings twice
A bell chimes twice, signaling the end of the day


Lost in eternity it pours it's sad goodnight
The sound of the bell, ringing into the darkness, is a sad farewell to the day


Forgetting that his now is dusk twilight
The bell forgets that it is now twilight, the period between day and night


And pause
The bell stops ringing, bringing a moment of silence to the night


Dawn
The time between night and day


Little birds sing their little songs
Birds are heard singing their songs as the day begins


But the bird that you've lately heard in the afternoon
A bird sounds heard earlier in the day is different from the morning birds


Cuckoo boo-beeps
The distinctive sound of a cuckoo bird is heard in the morning
