Kite Flying Society Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moment that brings us tonight.
And all we ever get is time, the days are a crime
Never eager to describe the haze.
And maybe every other night, if the mood finds him right
Catch a moon in both his eyes but never dares return the gaze.
Sweet glow, descend now and grow
The quicksilver slows on the stage.
Pieces you can rearrange, design.
Aurora coming into bloom, you scream hello moon.
Love about to make a move as we wait for the lamplight to die.
The song Pieces by Kite Flying Society is a metaphoric portrayal of the ways in which humans often ignore the passage of time and life itself. The lyrics "Dark sings, my head on a string" indicate a feeling of being trapped by the inevitability of time moving forward, and the "moment that brings us tonight" represents a fleeting awareness of the present. The line "And all we ever get is time, the days are a crime" speaks to the idea that time is all we have, but we often waste it or fail to appreciate it. The haze mentioned in the lyrics represents a lack of clarity or understanding of one's purpose in life.
The song also includes references to the moon and its cyclical nature which serves as a reminder that life is constantly moving forward, and we should make the most of our time before it's too late. The line "Catch a moon in both his eyes but never dares return the gaze" suggests the idea of being aware of time passing but being too afraid to confront it. The chorus of the song, "Pieces you can rearrange, design" serves as a hopeful reminder that individuals have the ability to make something meaningful out of their lives, no matter how uncertain or chaotic it may seem.
