DAYBREAK
Moonlight Awakening Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we cannot be parted, but you cannot stay
I wish I had known you, but now it's too late
The daylight has faded and drowned in my wake.
The first line of the song "You and I on different waves" sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer is describing a situation in which they and another person are not fully in sync with each other. Despite this, they emphasize that they cannot be "parted" from this person, indicating a deep bond that exists between them. However, the line "but you cannot stay" suggests that this bond is not strong enough to keep them together indefinitely.
The second line, "I wish I had known you, but now it's too late", implies a sense of regret on the part of the singer. There may have been missed opportunities to fully connect with this person they feel so attached to. The third line seems to hint at some sort of change or transition happening ("The daylight has faded") and the last line, "and drowned in my wake", provides a sense of melancholy and finality to the song.
Overall, "Daybreak" is a reflection on a connection that is both powerful and fragile at the same time, with the singer wishing things could have been different but accepting that they cannot. The lyrics seem to suggest a sense of loss and longing for a deeper connection, even as the daylight fades and the day moves on.

This should be named, “The song that everyone knows, but doesn’t know the name of”
Edit: I’m ashamed to call this a song. I’m a classical musician myself and I apologize. This is not a song, it’s a piece. Good day!
