The Song Is Ended
Meredith d'Ambrosio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My thoughts go back to a heavenly dance
A moment of bliss we spent
Our hearts were filled with a song of romance
As into the night we went
And sang to our hearts' content

The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on

The night was splendid
And the melody seemed to say
"Summer will pass away
Take your happiness while you may"

There 'neath the light of the moon
We sang a love song that ended too soon

The moon descended
And I found with the break of dawn




You and the song had gone
But the melody lingers on

Overall Meaning

Meredith d'Ambrosio's song The Song Is Ended is a melancholic piece that reminisces about an unforgettable romantic evening. The first verse of the song walks us through the singer's memory, which goes back to a heavenly dance where the atmosphere was filled with joy and love. The moment spent dancing with their lover was so precious that it left its imprints, and their hearts were bursting with a melody of romance as they went into the night, singing to their hearts' content. The use of the adjective 'heavenly' indicates that the experience was nothing short of extraordinary, which further emphasizes the importance of the memory.


The chorus of the Song is Ended is quite repetitive, but it delivers a powerful message. Even though the song has ended, the melody lingers on, much like the memory of the experience lingers on in the singer's mind. The permanence of the melody as opposed to the fleeting nature of the song emphasizes the profound impact that the memory of the song has left on the singer. The second verse of the song reinforces the message of the chorus, this time with a focus on the passing of time. The melody reminds the singer that summer will pass away, so they should take their happiness while they may. The moon, which usually represents life and vibrancy, descends, signifying the passing of time, and the reality that the moment has come to an end. In the break of dawn, the singer is left alone with their memory, and that's all they have to hold onto in the present.
