This Moment
Nic Chagall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been running on, running 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

Overall Meaning

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.
