This song is really beautiful, and I love it. I hate Taylor Swift, no offense to all the TS lovers out there, but I really do. This song, I feel, is the best she's ever sung... and I do love The Civil Wars. :) Anyways, here is my interpretation of the song in The Hunger Games. Could be completely wrong, but this is how I see it.
"I remember tears streaming down your face,
when I said I'll never let you go.
When all the shadows almost killed your light,
I remember you said don't leave me alone.
But all that's dead and gone in the past,
Tonight."
This is the part where Katniss is in the Cave with Peeta, and she thinks he's going to die, but then she saves him. 'When all the shadows almost killed your night" That's when he's almost dying, the next two lines have to do with how he says not to go to the feast, but she does, and in the end it doesn't matter to them, because they're both alive and fighting.
"Just close your eyes, the sun is going down.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound."
This is later in the games, where they are up on the cornucopia, and Cato is being killed below them. This is Katniss telling Peeta he'll be fine, they'll be fine. She's so worried that he's going to die, but she's not going to let him die "No one can hurt you now" they're so close to winning, she won't allow him to die now.
"Don't you dare look out your window,
Darling, everything's on fire.
The war outside our door keeps raging on.
Hold onto this lullaby,
even when the music's gone.
Gone."
This is where they just found out one of them is going to have to die because they changed the rule in The Games. Katniss is saying, don't worry, everything will be fine, and that's when they almost take the nightlock. The second half of this stanza is saying no matter what happens, they love each other. Everything will be fine.
"Just closes your eyes, the sun is going down.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound.
Just closes your eyes, you'll be alright.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound."
The games are over, and they won, and soon everything will be okay. They have to believe everything will be okay. That they'll be safe and sound.
I think this song is a great way to exoress Katniss feelings for Peeta, I mean in the book it said she had this longing for him I beleive she love's him but is afraid to show it. She love's Gale but only as a friend and in the end she's left with a wounded Peeta and she saves him, if she hated him she would have left him to die at the streem. Know what I mean?? Does that make since??

I think that this is so true. I have had many people say that it is her song to Rue, but I really do think that is her and Peeta's song:D

I like this. I think these lyrics could relate to many situations in the story.
