Longing for Lullabies
Kleerup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think of you
And traces we leave behind
Like a fallen piece we'll make a better start
But still end up alone
Looking down upon a place inside our heart
Dividing us in two
Lingers on, longing for lullabies
You live, you learn
You love, you burn
You win, you lose
Becoming you
Someday, when I cry in the rain
I think of you
Looking through eyes of pain
Passing on a feeling that we can't deny
Over on to you
Fading memory is soon becoming blind
Dividing us in two
Somewhere
All that we leave behind
Lingers on
Longin' for lullabies
You live, you learn
You love, you burn
You win, you lose
Becoming you
The lyrics of Kleerup feat. Titiyo's song "Longing For Lullabies" speak to the pain of loss and the power of memory. The opening lines suggest a sense of contemplation and nostalgia, with the singer looking out at the sun and thinking of someone they miss. The idea of "traces we leave behind" creates a sense of impermanence and finality, as if the memories and connections we make will inevitably fade away. Despite the desire for a "better start," the song recognizes that sometimes people end up alone, and that relationships can be fraught with division and conflict.
The chorus highlights the song's central theme of lingering memories and longing. The repetition of "longing for lullabies" suggests a longing for comfort and nostalgia, a desire to return to a simpler time. The lyrics underscore the idea that we are all shaped by our experiences, both positive and negative, and that these experiences can both shape and haunt us. The lyrics are evocative and poignant, capturing a sense of the raw emotion that comes with the end of a relationship.

Someday, as I look at the sun
At times, when I gaze upon the sun
I think of you
I can't help but reminisce about you
And traces we leave behind
The remnants of us that we abandon in time
Like a fallen piece we'll make a better start
As if a fragment of us, we'll begin anew
But still end up alone
Even so, we still find ourselves isolated
Looking down upon a place inside our heart
Reflecting upon an area in our essence
Dividing us in two
Tearing us apart
Somewhere, all that we leave behind
Someplace, everything we discard
Lingers on, longing for lullabies
Endures, yearning for soothing melodies
You live, you learn
You endure, you become knowledgeable
You love, you burn
You cherish, you suffer
You win, you lose
You triumph, you suffer defeat
Becoming you
You, transformed by your experiences
Someday, when I cry in the rain
At some point, when I weep in the rain
I think of you
Thoughts of you often come to mind
Looking through eyes of pain
Viewing through lenses of agony
Passing on a feeling that we can't deny
Conveying a sentiment that we cannot reject
Over on to you
Transferring onto you
Fading memory is soon becoming blind
Memories are rapidly losing their clarity
Dividing us in two
Bringing about a schism between us
Somewhere
Someplace
All that we leave behind
Everything we forsake
Lingers on
Endures
Longin' for lullabies
Yearning for harmonious tunes
You live, you learn
You persevere, you gain wisdom
You love, you burn
You hold dear, you suffer hurt
You win, you lose
You emerge victorious, you suffer defeat
Becoming you
Transforming who you are
