Twilight
Shazam The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream,
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.
Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back
Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here and then you go away.
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.
You brought me here, but can you take me back again?
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight.
The song "Twilight" by Shazam The is a haunting ballad that speaks of a mysterious encounter between the singer and a supernatural being. The song opens with the singer describing the strange visions they see in their mind in the early hours of the morning, at a time known as twilight. They are unsure if what they are seeing is real or just a dream, and the line "Night is day and twilight's gone away" suggests that the boundaries between reality and imagination have become blurred.
The singer then describes a meeting with the being, which appears to them from the sky. The being's "scarlet lies" suggest that they are not who they seem to be, and the singer is left wondering if the encounter was real or just another part of their dream. The chorus repeats the word "twilight" several times, suggesting that this is the key to the mystery, and that the singer may be trapped in a kind of limbo, unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy.
