May I Refuse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sorry about my delay
But someone has turned off the lights
But i haven't got the candles
There's no one

Tonight
The clouds seem to be behind the moon
Tonight

I couldn't call them

A window sparkle in the dark room
Where my dreams are shaking down
One minute later everything gets birighter
There's no one

Tonight
The clouds seem to be behind the moon
Tonight
I couldn't call them

I am going bed sick tonight
Oh maybe tomorrow i will recovered

I'm sorry about my delay
But someone has turned off the lights

The first few lines of the song highlight the helplessness of the singer, being stuck in a dark environment without the tools to bring back some light. The use of the words 'someone' and 'there's no one' suggest that the singer is in a lonely place, without companionship or assistance.

The scintillation of the windows in the dark room suggests the singer's imagination and that they find solace in their dreams, where everything is bright and promising.
