Analysis of But not like before.
I have laughed but not like before
I have lived but not like before
The ward of the time was very dark.
Survived but I went out of fear.
Now I am afraid of the light.
I live on the moon but there is darkness everywhere.
The noise of reciting does not let me sleep
I close my eyes but I am shocked. But in dreams
Now nights just pass by.
Whenever I want to get up, I fall for you.
