The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Living in Twilight" by the artist "Weepies, The"

The song "Living in Twilight" by The Weepies paints a picture of existential melancholy and acceptance of routine. The lyrical hero seems stuck in twilight - a state between light and darkness, past and future.

The first verse speaks of a person living with memories that "illuminate" his path. He does not rejoice in the new day, but accepts this state as a given ("Slightly sad, but it's okay"). "Living in twilight" is a metaphor for a life without bright colors, in routine and apathy.

The second verse develops the theme of loneliness. The hero is isolated, but this does not bother him - he is used to such an existence.

The recurring chorus "Living like a dream, walking from dawn till dusk, / Living like a dream, walking from dusk till dawn" emphasizes the aimlessness and monotony of his days.

In the third verse, "you" appears - a person who cannot stand this hopelessness and leaves, leaving the hero with unspoken words and a feeling of emptiness.

The fourth verse is a piece of advice from the author to himself or to the listener: to seek solace in alcohol, watching the day fade away. But even this is suggested to be accepted as another element of "twilight."

The final verse is a return to the image of a lonely wanderer, wandering through life with the burden of the past. "Living in twilight" becomes not just a statement of fact, but a philosophy of accepting life as it is - with its sadness, loneliness, and things left unsaid.

You look darkly on the day

With memories to light your way

A little sad but it's all right

We are always living in twilight

No one knocks upon your door

Until you don't care anymore

A little alone but it's all right

We are always living in twilight

Living in a dream, walking in between the sunrise and sunset

Living in a dream, walking in between sunset and sunrise

You get tied up in your day, so I let go and walk away

And now we loose ends of the night

We are always living in twilight

Living in a dream, walking in between the sunrise and sunset

Living in a dream, walking in between sunset and sunrise

So it goes, though no one knows you like they used to do

Have a drink the sky is sinking toward a deeper blue

And you're still all right

Step out into twilight

So I stumble home at night

Like I've stumbled through my life

With ghosts and visions in my sight

We are always living in twilight
