"Please Come Home" is very proggy, but it’s more about atmosphere than technical expertise, inspired by his love of science fiction and interest in the evolution of the human race.
EVERGLOW
Lonely Robot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To collect the light we steal
In this ocean size, with no end in sight
It's a distant sun we feel
And we always trust in
Everglow
In the only frame you know
Everglow
Is the only place you go
You're living in another lie, but you're trying hard to grow
Everglow
On the other side, there is no divide
And the spiral is a haze
To collect this trust as it turns to dust
You must shadow in these days
Everglow
In the only frame you know
The picture shows a dissonance, but you're trying to let go
Everglow
Is the only place you go
You're living in another lie, but you're trying hard to grow
Everglow
The lyrics of Lonely Robot's song Everglow is a beautiful and introspective piece about the human condition. The song is essentially about two people, possibly lovers, who are trying to exist in an indifferent and lonely world. They have found solace in each other and have resolved to collect the light they steal from this world. In this vast, ocean-like world with no end in sight, they can only feel a distant sun. Despite their circumstances, they still trust in something greater than themselves- the everglow.
The term "everglow" is essentially the only constant in their lives. It is the only refuge they have from the confusion and chaos in this world, and everything they experience is surrounded by it. They know nothing more than the frame they are in, but they are trying to let go of the discord they see within it. The everglow is the only place they can go and yet, they are living a lie. We all have to make a choice in how we perceive the world and the everglow helps these two people move forward with a sense of purpose.
Overall, these lyrics depict an emotional state of being that is relatable to anyone who has felt lost or uncertain. The everglow represents hope and the power to move forward despite the overwhelming odds. It is a song that will resonate with anyone who has felt lost or disconnected from the world they inhabit.
Line by Line Meaning
On this lonely world, we are both resolved
We are both determined to survive in this desolate world
To collect the light we steal
We gather whatever positivity we can find, even if it's not rightfully ours
In this ocean size, with no end in sight
The world is vast and seemingly never-ending
It's a distant sun we feel
We long for something far away and unattainable
And we always trust in Everglow
We place our faith in the idea of a better place, a glimmer of hope
In the only frame you know
We see the world through our own limited perspective
The picture shows a dissonance, but you're trying to let go
We recognize that reality doesn't match our ideals, but we're striving to accept it
Is the only place you go
We escape to our own imagined paradise
You're living in another lie, but you're trying hard to grow
We acknowledge that we've been living in an illusion, but we're striving to improve ourselves
On the other side, there is no divide
There is no separation or obstacles in this other world we envision
And the spiral is a haze
The path to reach this other world is obscure and unclear
To collect this trust as it turns to dust
We strive to hold on to our faith even as it fades away
