Lost Day
The Moog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Adorns all the lights with grace
Beaming down in early dark
Days she gave eternal love
to me
Time to spend in the cold
Jump up to reach the void
What was the love I felt
Say you will say you will
Hold my hand lead you and me down
All the way all the way
Down the plains head south I never
Have you close enough I never
Have you close enough you know I
Never was the kind of boy who
Will repay love with a smile
Dark air falling sweetly down
Glistening drops to the ground
Six days done past doors and doors And seconds line up to be words
For her
Time to spend in the cold
Jump up to reach the void
Learning to speak to tell
What was the love I felt
Say you will say you will
Hold my hand lead you and me down
All the way all the way
Down the plains head south I never
Have you close enough I never
Have you close enough you know I
Never was the kind of boy who
Will repay love with a smile
The Moog's Lost Day seems to be a song about reminiscing a past relationship, and finding it difficult to express the love felt towards the other person. The lyrics start off by describing the chaos and noise of the present days, which contrasts with the peaceful and eternal love the singer shared with their partner. The second half of the stanza begins with 'Days she gave eternal love to me', hinting at a significant time gone by.
Moving onto the chorus, the lyrics seem to reflect on the insecurities of the singer. They ask their partner to hold their hand and lead the way down, indicating a lack of confidence in their own ability to express their love. The 'all the way all the way' repetition possibly symbolizes the journey they want to embark on, but are unsure if they have the strength or capacity to go all the way. The following lines, 'I never have you close enough you know I never was the kind of boy who will repay love with a smile' indicate that the singer may have held back expressing their love in the past, and now regrets it.
The second stanza describes the present, but reflects it through beautiful imagery. The falling dark air and glistening drops symbolize the melancholia and sadness present, but presented in a beautiful and poetic manner. The repetition of 'time to spend in the cold, jump up to reach the void, learning to speak to tell what was the love I felt' calls back to the earlier repetition in the chorus. The singer is trying to learn and grow to be able to express themselves better, but is still uncertain.
Overall, the song seems to be about the longing for a past love, the struggle to express oneself and the desire to be able to go all the way in life and love.
Line by Line Meaning
Sound and fury of these days
The chaos and commotion of the present times
Adorns all the lights with grace
Decorates the shining stars with elegance
Beaming down in early dark
Shining brightly even in the darkness of the early morning
Days she gave eternal love to me
The memories of her never-ending love for me
Time to spend in the cold
Moments spent in isolation and loneliness
Jump up to reach the void
Attempting to fill the emptiness inside
Learning to speak to tell
Developing the ability to express my deepest emotions
What was the love I felt
Trying to understand the intensity of the affection I once experienced
Say you will say you will
Promise me that you will
Hold my hand lead you and me down
Guide us together towards an unknown destination
All the way all the way
Endlessly
Down the plains head south I never
Traveling far away, never looking back
Have you close enough I never
Never being able to have you close to me
Have you close enough you know I
You know that I long for your presence
Never was the kind of boy who
I was never the type of person who
Will repay love with a smile
Could express my appreciation for love through a simple smile
Dark air falling sweetly down
The night sky settling around me gently
Glistening drops to the ground
Tears that fall to the earth
Six days done past doors and doors
Lots of time has passed, moving from place to place
And seconds line up to be words for her
Each moment that ticks by becomes a tribute to her
