Song Meaning of “Long white curtain” by White Fence
“Long white curtain” by White Fence is a song that reflects on the passing of time and the consequences of loss. The title signifies the separation between the living and the dead, symbolizing death’s veil that obscures the memories of those that are gone. The narrator reflects on how quickly life can pass and how fleeting life can be, symbolized by the curtain closing slowly each night. The narrator then reminisces about all the memories that were shared with the person who is now gone, and how they still linger even after they are out of sight. The narrator expresses their grief and mourning for this person that cannot be seen behind the curtain, and how they will never be the same without them. The song serves as a reminder of how time passes quickly, and serves as a gentle warning to cherish the memories of those dearest to us and to make sure to not take them for granted.
