This Moment
Nic Chagall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For way too many miles now
I've been flying with broken wings
(And now I'm falling faster to the ground
And it's a bitter end to a story so sweet
Like a long lost friend
That's never found a way back to me
Got me all locked up inside
And you hold the key
All that I need is this moment
To send me away with a smile on my face
I tried to leave but I turn back
On my heart remains a trace
All that I seek is this moment
All day in my mind I recreate
If there was a way to get back
This feeling of chase of chase
All that I need is this moment
This moment
The lyrics of Nic Chagall feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn's song "This Moment" is about someone who has been depleted and broken, and is now falling faster towards the ground. The bitterness of this ending is contrasted with the sweetness of the story that preceded it, like a long-lost friend who never found their way back. These memories have trapped the singer inside, and they hold the key to unlock it all. The singer desperately needs this moment to send them away with a smile on their face, to leave behind the traces of their heart.
The lyrics suggest that this moment is a crucial turning point for the singer. Everything they have gone through and all of the pain and struggles they have experienced have led up to this moment. They have been running on empty for too long and this may be their last chance to break free from their hurtful past. The chorus is a plea to find a way back to the feeling of chasing their dreams and what they want.

I’ve been runnin’ on, runnin’ on empty
For way too many miles now
I’ve been flying with broken wings
And now I’m falling faster to the ground
And it’s a bitter end to a story so sweet
Like a long lost friend that’s never found a way back to me
And I can’t deny these memories got me all locked up inside
And you hold the key
All that I need is this moment
To send me away with a smile on my face
I tried to leave but I turn back
On my heart remains a trace
All that I seek is this moment
All day in my mind I recreate
If there was a way to get back
This feeling of chase, of chase
All that I need is this moment
This moment…

And now I'm falling faster to the ground
And it's a bitter end to a story so sweet
Like a long lost friend that's never found a way back to me

Im 18, I have listened to every genre/subgenre. From classical to hardcore, and I must say trance is the best. Better than dubstep, rock, whatever. Trance will never die, it touches your emotions unlike any other type of music. Fantastic.
