Nocturne
Natasha's Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A song for your body in the tomb
A song for the dreams woven in your room
Come true soon
Never let you come to any harm
Never take your future from my arms
I'll never let what we had turn bad
Sometimes I dream that we die young
Spend eternity beneath the summer sun
Spend the summers barefoot
Fly away for good
The moonlight is playing with my heart
Hopes and dreams are streaming upwards
The ephemeral beauty of transient days
We'll fly away
Sometimes I dream that we die young
Spend eternity beneath the summer sun
Spend the summers barefoot
Fly away for good
The song Nocturne by Natasha's Ghost is an emotionally charged ballad that appears to be a message from a mother to her unborn child.

The mother seems to be expressing her hopes and aspirations for her baby, and her deep-seated desire for the baby's dreams to come true. The second stanza, "Never let you come to any harm, never take your future from my arms, I'll never let what we had turn bad, or let you be sad" reinforces the mother's love and commitment to her child and her resolve to do everything in her power to protect her child from harm and preserve their relationship.
The third and final stanza signifies the mother's desire to die young and escape with her child from a world that is transient and fleeting, and to spend an eternity beneath the summer sun, barefoot and carefree. The imagery used in this part of the song is vivid and evocative, highlighting the mother's dreams, aspirations, and desire to be with her child forever.
Overall, the song is a poignant expression of love, hope, and the desire for permanence in an ephemeral world.
