Twilight
Vangelis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[female voice:]
Hi ga Kureru
Sore wa Toki no Mahou
Asu Onaji Toki
Mata Chigau Mahou
Sore wa Iro ga Kaori ni
Kaori ga Iro ni Kawaru Toki
Soshite Kage wa Kagirinai
Ao ni Tokeru

The day falls into the twilight.
It is a magic of time.
The same time tomorrow,
there'll be another magic.
It is when colors turn to flavors,
and flavors turn to colors.




And it is when
shadows melt into deep blue....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics seem to suggest that twilight is a time of transition and metamorphosis, where the boundaries between different senses and experiences become blurred.


The song's lyrics are quite abstract and open to interpretation, but they evoke a sense of mystery and longing, as if the singer is trying to capture the fleeting beauty of twilight before it disappears. The use of the word "magic" suggests that there is something mystical and otherworldly about this time of day, and that it holds a special power to transform our perceptions of the world around us.


Overall, Vangelis's Twilight is a haunting and beautiful song that captures the ephemeral beauty of twilight and the sense of wonder it can inspire in us.
