Another Day Lyrics
The kettle's on, The sun has gone, another day.
She offers me Tibetan tea on a flower tray.
She's at the door, she wants to score.
She really needs to say.
I loved you a long time ago, you know.
Where the wind's own forget-me-nots blow.
But I just couldn't let myself go.
Not knowing what on earth there was to know.
But I wish that I had 'cause I'm feeling so sad.
That I never had one of your children.
Across the room, inside a tomb, a chance has waxed and waned.
The night is young, why are we so hung up in each other's chains?
I must take her.
I must make her while the dove domains.
And feel the juice run as she flies.
Run my wings under her sighs.
As the flames of eternity rise.
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn.
Oh really my dear I can't see what we fear.
Standing here with ourselves in between us.
And at the door, we can't say more, than just another day.
And without a sound, I turn around, and walk away.
She offers me Tibetan tea on a flower tray.
She's at the door, she wants to score.
She really needs to say.
I loved you a long time ago, you know.
Where the wind's own forget-me-nots blow.
But I just couldn't let myself go.
Not knowing what on earth there was to know.
But I wish that I had 'cause I'm feeling so sad.
That I never had one of your children.
Across the room, inside a tomb, a chance has waxed and waned.
The night is young, why are we so hung up in each other's chains?
I must take her.
I must make her while the dove domains.
And feel the juice run as she flies.
Run my wings under her sighs.
As the flames of eternity rise.
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn.
Oh really my dear I can't see what we fear.
Standing here with ourselves in between us.
And at the door, we can't say more, than just another day.
And without a sound, I turn around, and walk away.

This song is beautiful. The lyrics are way off but what's important is the feeling created by the music and how the words are sung, maybe the lines "I loved you a long long time ago.." I always pictured it like a vague dream/memory. Lying somewhere, thinking about someone from the past.. when things were better. A grassy place with a lighthouse by the ocean, the sun so bright..
This is truely so artistic that so boldly artistic.... This reminds me of a vague dream, yeah as commented before, but just before dawn... the darkness is at best... and yet the meaning of other words are obvious... But if you want to listen to it metaphorically, we can call the "she!" the old, past passion... Might be the old her... The pure childhood... And she suffers that she'd never get a lead on that path, as she's changed now... And the song ends, so suddenly... that bites... truely art...
The song opens with the first speaker narrating how a woman is serving him tea. Then it shifts to the perspective of the woman with the tea tray. The first speaker believes that what the woman "really needs to say" is how she loved him/her "a long time ago" but just "couldn't let go" enough to truly realize it back then and now she is full of regrets at what could have been. Moreover, she still remains silent and unable to confess her true feelings. Then it shifts back to the first speaker who feels the need to act, to "take her". But he/she is also paralyzed by the fear to speak up and act out their feelings. Due to their fears, the pair remain frozen in a state of unrequited yearning where they perform the routine activities of any other day instead of breaking with the monotony, going beyond their anti-climactic interactions, and letting these pregnant moments give rise to the beginning of a new day together. There is also the implication that this entire fantasy may only exist in the first speaker's imagination. Maybe the woman with the tea tray actually has nothing of the sort to say to him/her. The thing is, he/she will never know because they're too scared to take the risk of sharing how they feel.
