elekto
eufonius Lyrics

The lyrics of "Elekto" by Eufonius describe a melancholic and solitary journey through a dark and cold night. The singer feels isolated, adrift, and fragile as they observe their breath turning to icicles and the stars streaming overhead. They fear disappearing into the vast and threatening darkness, where the freezing air could freeze their heart as well. Despite this, the singer resists the impulse to make a wish or pray for help, perhaps feeling too jaded, skeptical, or proud to do so. They wonder if the world keeps moving forward even if they breakdown and cry their eyes out, if their voice could pierce through like an exploding bubble and make someone notice them.

In the next stanza, the singer focuses on the moon and the recollection of a person they care about. They imagine the person's eyes and lips turning into crescents, resembling the moon's shape, as they face each other. This image triggers a renewed bout of sadness in the singer, who admits to feeling like crying again. They turn to the listener, urging them to listen carefully to what fate might knock on their door, and telling them that the scars inside them will eventually light the darkness like a beacon. The last lines express the singer's commitment to offering as much brightness and beauty as they can to the beloved person, despite the pain and challenges that might come along the way.
