| Daylight Fading From "Recovering The Satellites" Waiting for the moon to come And lock me up inside I am waiting for the telephone To tell me I'm alive Well I heard you let somebody Get their fingers into you It's getting cold in California I guess I'll be leaving soon CHORUS: Daylight fading Come and waste another year All the anger and the eloquence Are bleeding into fear Moonlight creeping Round the corners of our yard When we see the early signs Of daylight fading We leave just before it's gone She said, "Everybody loves you" She said, "Everybody cares" Well all the things I keep inside myself They vanish in the air If you tell that you'll wait for me I'll say that I will not be here I wanna say goodbye to you Goodbye to all my friends Goodbye to everyone I know CHORUS La, la, la... CHORUS |
| This is one song I can play over and over without getting tired. To me this song is about how you can have everything around you that you think you want, and still not be completely happy. You put your faith in other things to tell you're alive. You measure your life by outside factors. It's easy to do, and very hard to realize. I have done that all too much in my life. And I know it's wrong. And I'm only now at a point where I can realize I don't have everything in my life that I want, but I can still enjoy it. And I don't mean material things. I want a big love, someone I can start a family with eventually. Everyone knows that kind of stuff only happens when it's time, but when you go through stretches where no one seems to want to fall in love with you, you get kinda jaded. You can believe that you'll end up alone. Somedays, I feel exactly that. I feel that I won't let myself be happy. And these feelings come from all too familiar pattern of giving up hope and getting up and leaving at the "early signs of daylight fading". It's a very sobering place to come to the realization that you are the only one responsible for your lonliness. It would be so much easier to blame someone else. And it's all a product of not having anything around you tangible that makes you happy. And when you can't appreciate what's around you, you're never happy. You're always looking for something else, something to keep that sun up in the sky and keep everything bright. And that's just not realistic. |
