Vanilla Twilight
Piano Tribute Conservatory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I lie awake and miss you.
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
But I'll miss your arms around me.
I'd send a postcard to you dear,
'Cause I wish you were here.
But it's not the same without you,
Because it takes two to whisper quietly,
The silence isn't so bad,
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly.
I'll find repose in new ways,
Though I haven't slept in two days,
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.
But drenched in Vanilla twilight,
I'll sit on the front porch all night,
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
As many times as I blink I'll think of you... tonight.
I'll think of you tonight.
When violet eyes get brighter,
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
But I swear I won't forget you,
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past,
I'd whisper in your ear,
Oh darling I wish you were here.
The lyrics of Piano Tribute Conservatory's song Vanilla Twilight seem to describe a person who is missing someone they love and cherishing their memories. The opening lines, "The stars lean down to kiss you, and I lie awake and miss you" evoke a sense of longing and romanticism. The person acknowledges that they need a heavy dose of atmosphere to distract themselves from the fact that they are missing their loved one and wishing they were there with them. The reference to the "spaces between my fingers" being where the other person's fingers fit perfectly is a poignant reminder of their absence.
Despite feeling sadness, the person tries to find new ways to find comfort, but nostalgia keeps them trapped. However, the person finds solace in the "vanilla twilight" as they sit on the front porch and reflect on their memories. The phrase "drenched in Vanilla twilight" evokes a sense of drowning in the beauty and tranquility of the moment. The lyrics also express the hope that one day, they will find themselves free from their longing and newfound happiness in the world once again. The last few lines show that the person wishes they could go back in time to be with their loved one again, but even though they cannot, they want their voice to carry across time and space and let their loved one know that they are always thinking of them.
