THIS MORNING
Stealers Wheel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It felt like the night was here to stay,
Meanwhile morning is on the way.
Daylight opening up the skies,
Grey light opening up your eyes,
Meanwhile morning is on the rise.
It felt like the night was here to stay,
Meanwhile morning is on the way.
The lyrics of Stealers Wheel's song "This Morning" speak about the metaphorical transition from darkness to light, from despair to hope, from night to day. The first stanza suggests that the night had been endless, oppressive, and gloomy, possibly hinting at a situation of emotional or psychological distress. It seems as if the singer had been waiting for dawn to break, but it had not arrived yet. However, the repetition of "on the way" and "on the rise" suggests a sense of expectation and anticipation, as if the singer knows that the morning is inevitable and that there is hope beyond the darkness.
The second stanza expands on the image of daylight and how it transforms the world and the self. The opening up of the skies and the opening up of the eyes suggest a moment of awakening, of clarity, of realization that there is a new day ahead. The use of "meanwhile" serves to emphasize the contrast between the night and the day, and the expectation that the morning is imminent.
The overall interpretation of the lyrics of "This Morning" is that of resilience, perseverance, and optimism. The singer acknowledges the darkness and the difficulty of the night but affirms that morning is on the way, and with it, a renewed sense of purpose and possibility. The song can be seen as a message of hope for anyone who is going through a tough time, encouraging them to hold on and look forward to the dawn.
