Eventide
Red Light Skyscraper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A glimpse of the new misshapen life
And a blurred sight of what it hides
Set to steer towards what they call demise
Toward what you'll hide
The wing flap of dragonflies
Bends the wires of muddy grass
The unknown n' uncharted
Way too high
Eventide
I
Don't get this fleck of dust over my stripes
Struggling not to grow old fast and dry
And getting ready for the final blast
Which blows all the rust
The shot quills of porcupine
Bend the strings of space and time
The unknown n' uncharted
Where am I?
Way too high
Eventide
Eventide
The lyrics of Red Light Skyscraper's song "Eventide" explore themes of transformation and the unknown. The song begins by depicting a glimpse of a new and distorted life, accompanied by a hazy understanding of what lies beneath the surface. The singer sets off on a path towards their perceived downfall, hidden behind a facade. This journey is compared to the movements of dragonflies, whose wings disturb the stagnant grass, symbolizing the disruption of established norms and expectations.
As the song progresses, the singer questions their place in this unfamiliar territory, wondering where they are and feeling elevated to a level beyond their comfort zone. The lyrics mention the "fleck of dust over my stripes," suggesting a desire to retain youth and vitality while preparing for an impending moment of release. This release is likened to a final blast that eradicates all traces of stagnation and decay.
The chorus repeats the word "eventide," which refers to the time of day immediately following sunset. This mirrors the theme of transformation and impending change, as eventide marks the transition from day to night. The singer acknowledges their difficulty in understanding or accepting their current circumstances, emphasizing their feeling of being too high or disconnected from their usual reality.
Overall, "Eventide" speaks to the experience of navigating the unknown, embracing change, and preparing for a transformative event.

The time of day when evening approaches
I
Personal identity or existence
Don't get this fleck of dust over my stripes
Unable to understand the insignificance affecting one's essence
Struggling not to grow old fast and dry
Fighting against becoming aged and lifeless
And getting ready for the final blast
Preparing for the ultimate explosion or climax
Which blows all the rust
Eliminating all the decay and deterioration
The shot quills of porcupine
The sharp spines of a defensive animal
Bend the strings of space and time
Manipulate the fabric of reality
Eventide
The time of day when evening approaches
Eventide
The time of day when evening approaches
