Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
morning light
I melt with you
carry me down
another day
another year
it will be gray
The first verse of "Monument” by Katie Eristavi describes the feeling of falling in love with someone so deeply that you lose track of time and are consumed by them. The line "sunday night, morning light" suggests that the singer has spent the whole night with their lover and is now experiencing the morning light. They then say, "I melt with you," indicating that they are completely taken by their partner's affection. The second line, "carry me down," might be a reference to the idea of being carried away by love. It's a metaphorical invitation to their lover to take them away and the singer is willing to go wherever they're taken.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges the inevitable arrival of time and the changes that come with it. "Another day, another year" infers the constant ebb and flow of daily life. The line, "it will be gray with out love" is an affirmation that without love, life can be a dull and dreary place. The lyrics suggest that the energy of love gives meaning and color to our lives. The song Monument is a testament to the power of love and how it can shape how we experience the world around us.
