Once Upon A Time
Marlango Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once upon a time I was with you
In a castle built with dreams we had each night
All the walls were water where the moon would dance
And the floor moved every time we touched

There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near

There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near, anyone's near

When you left I tried
To drown that moon each night
And the water turned to ice
That locked me up inside

But there's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near

There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near, anyone's near

Now, I found a planet for myself
Where an ocean cares for me
We beat like wounds

And there is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near

There is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near, everyone near

And there is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near

There is sun now




Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near, everyone's near

Overall Meaning

The song “Once Upon a Time” by Marlango evokes a sense of nostalgia and pain, as the lyrics describe a past relationship that was built on dreams, but has now ended. The imagery of a castle made of dreams is a beautiful metaphor, as it signifies that the relationship was built on something intangible, something that was not grounded in reality. The walls of the castle were water, which could be interpreted as representing the fluidity of the relationship, while the moon danced on it. When they touched, the floor moved, which symbolizes the impact of their physical and emotional connection.


The chorus of the song has a sense of despair, as the singer mourns the loss of her lover. She feels alone, as if there is no one around her. She has lost her sense of direction, as she doesn't have the light of the sun or the guidance of the stars. The image of the water turning to ice is a powerful metaphor for the pain of heartbreak. The singer tries to drown the moon each night, but it only leads to her being locked up inside.


However, the song ends on a hopeful note, as the singer finds a new planet for herself where an ocean cares for her. The ocean represents something that takes care of her, something that supports and nurtures her. She beats like wounds, which is a beautiful way of saying that she is healing. The sun and the stars come out and she can hear everyone near. The song is a beautiful exploration of the beauty and pain of love and how it can both break and heal us.

Letra:
Once upon a time I was with you
In a castle built with dreams we had each night
All the walls were water where the moon would dance
And the floor moved every time we touched
There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near
There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near
Anyone's near
When you left I tried to drown that moon each night
And the water turned to ice that locked me up inside
But there's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near
There's no sun now
Stars don't come out
I can't hear anyone near
Anyone's near
Now I found a planet for myself
Where an ocean cares for me
We beat like wounds
And there is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near
There is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near
Everyone near
And there is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near
There is sun now
Stars do come out
I can hear everyone near
Everyone's near
