Analysis of Under an amber sunrise



Under an amber sunrise
The world becomes empty
And sadness envelopes my mind
Beauty is at arms length
But, just beyond my grasp
Brown world's in a crystial bottle
Arms that hold my imagination
And shooting stars that never bring wishes
I stare off into miles
Counting every passing desire
And each one becomes another false hope.
The future brings the past
And tomorrow will be the same
As journey to a need become infinite
Pictures in my head of the perfect creation
And arms that can reach the moon
But dreams become reality
And my beauty is the Sun.
