Yehonathan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but I refused to change.
I'm trying hard to forgive,
to let go of this pain.
Angels guided me
deep into the night.
They will help me finally see the light.
That I will never love again
Trying hard to break the spell
once I cast on you
And you will always be my friend,
and I will never doubt it's true.
Fighting time and time again
to be close to you.
Life with me was never easy,
you've known this from the start.
Althought you did the best you could
I just had to break your heart.
Demons blinded me,
I couldn't see your eyes.
Now you're gone and I can hear the angels cry.
That I will never love again
the way I used to love you.
Trying hard to break the spell
once I cast on you
And you will always be my friend,
and I will never doubt it's true.
Fighting time and time again
to be close to you.
Moon of my life,
frozen in time,
promised you'd always stay behind.
I was lost and confused,
got nothing to lose.
I am home,
I am home.
Light of my life,
fire and ice,
now the truth's out there's no need hide
I love you, you love me,
now we're both free,
we are home,
we are home,
we are home.
I will never love again
the way I used to love you.
Fighting time and time again
to be close to you.
The lyrics of this song convey a sense of regret and heartbreak over a lost love. The singer admits that waiting for their love and not changing their ways caused pain to their partner, whom they had to break up with. However, the singer admits that they are trying hard to forgive and let go of the pain. The song mentions angels guiding the singer, and they hope these angels will help them finally see the light. Despite struggling to break the spell they once cast on their partner, the singer acknowledges that they will never love again the way they used to. They fight time and time again to be close to their former partner and have faith that they will always be friends.
The second half of the song changes its tone from mourning to reconciliation. The singer laments the loss of their partner, whom they refer to as the moon and light of their life, but notes that they are now both free. The singer confesses their love and declares that they are both home, causing a sense of finality to the heartbreak felt in the beginning of the song.
