Song Meaning of “Cornea” by Suis La Lune
‘Cornea’ by Suis La Lune is an emotional and raw exploration loneliness, regret, and healing. As the listener, we are thrust into a world of emptiness that is reflected in the quiet instrumentation and reserved vocals. The song hints at a situation of distance, both literally and figuratively, between two people who have been forcefully separated from one another.
The lyrics “like a curtain pulled across a cornea’s sun” connotes a barrier that has been erected between them. This feeling of being unable to see is further driven home through the repetition of the lyric “never before have my eyes been so bruised.” The imagery of the bruised eyes conjures up the idea of a darkness that cannot be seen through, creating a deep sense of loss.
The climax of the song comes in the form of an emotional release as the vocal delivers the powerful plea “let me out of here” repeatedly. This line signifies a desperate need to reconnect and be with the other person who was previously close and now so distant and lost.
Finally, ‘Cornea’ ends with a reprise of the chorus and a renewed sense of hope. This is reflected in the lyrics “so clear that I can see, the warm sun that we once shared is still burning for me.” These words indicate that despite the pain and the distance, the possibility of being together again still exists and the embers of love are still alive and burning. The song ends on a hopeful note, suggesting that the protagonist is beginning to realize the potential for healing and growth, slowly but surely.
