London
Meg Lee Chin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now, Now the curtain falls without a trace left to hold
There's only time, Time to sleep, tob, to be alone
To break the spell In the heart of nights of lack of sleep to sustain yourself
To end all sighs Tearing hard from a transatlantic grip
From below ,London ,Far below, Faces are crying out.
Feel, now you know it's the season of the witch
It doesn't twitch The kinda wound that might of fooled the diggers ditch
Alarming, disarming not a face to bear
At a certain pitch
Tables turning faster harder Noise keeps pumping louder louder
It'll drip below London
More and more, mothers are crying hard.
So Long Sweetness... Take what you've chosen, look at what you've chosed
The lyrics of this song are quite interesting and thought-provoking. The first line, "So Long Sweetness...", can be interpreted as a goodbye to innocence or optimism. The following lines, "Now, Now the curtain falls without a trace left to hold / There's only time, Time to sleep, tob, to be alone", create a mood of finality and loneliness. The singer seems to be accepting that something has ended and is now taking time to grieve and reflect.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more introspective, reflecting on their own state of mind. They describe "nights of lack of sleep" and the need to "break the spell" of their own thoughts. The mention of "transatlantic grip" suggests a feeling of being pulled in two different directions, possibly struggling to reconcile the differences between two cultures or places.
The final lines, "More and more, mothers are crying hard. / So Long Sweetness... Take what you've chosen, look at what you've chosed", suggest a wider societal or political context. The singer observes the suffering of others and seems to be urging listeners to consider the consequences of their choices and actions.
Overall, the lyrics of "London" are haunting and ambiguous, leaving the listener with many questions and interpretations.
