The Dawn
Magic Giant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daylight breaks the dawn
Lights the world until it's gone
My baby breaks the mold
And when she leaves the world is cold

Only lonely hearts
See the Sun's a shooting star
She left me in the dark
I'll trace this flame back to the spark

Here comes the night
A blackout rollin
We're always holdin on
Chasing the light
A golden moment
I miss you like you're gone
And I'm ready for the dawn

It's alright, this soon will pass
Like dust inside an hourglass
When twilight
Starts to burn
I hold my breath till she returns

And here comes the night
A blackout rollin
We're always holdin on
Chasing the light
A golden moment
I miss you like you're gone

We could share the floor
We could keep it warm
We could... wait it out
Try to end the war
Let's just close that door
We'll be painting

And here comes the night
A blackout rollin
We're always holdin on
Chasing the light
A golden moment
I miss you like you're gone

We're always holding on




And my dreams keep dragging on
Well I'm ready for the dawn

Daylight breaks the dawn
The start of a new day


Lights the world until it's gone
The bright light of day illuminates the world until it fades away


My baby breaks the mold
My significant other is unique and special


And when she leaves the world is cold
Without my significant other, the world is bleak and empty


Only lonely hearts
Those who are alone and without love


See the Sun's a shooting star
Those who are lonely see the sun as fleeting and unattainable


She left me in the dark
My significant other left me feeling lost and without hope


I'll trace this flame back to the spark
I'll try to find the origin of our love to reignite it


Here comes the night
The beginning of darkness


A blackout rollin
A feeling of hopelessness and despair


We're always holdin on
We cling to hope and refuse to give up

Trying to find hope and happiness


A golden moment
A fleeting moment of happiness

I feel your absence acutely


And I'm ready for the dawn
I'm ready for a new beginning

Things will get better


Like dust inside an hourglass
Time moves on and things change


When twilight Starts to burn
As the sun sets and darkness approaches


I hold my breath till she returns
I wait with bated breath for my significant other to come back


We could share the floor
We could work together to overcome our struggles


We could keep it warm
We could create a warm and welcoming environment together


We could... wait it out
We could wait for things to get better


Try to end the war
We could work towards resolving our issues and finding peace


Let's just close that door
Let's move on from the past and start anew

We'll create a new and bright future together


We're always holding on
We refuse to give up


And my dreams keep dragging on
I continue to hold onto hope for a better future

I'm ready for a new beginning
