Possibility

The song 'Possibility' by New Moon - Lua Nova is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of love, loss, and the delicate balance between hope and despair. The repetitive use of the word 'possibility' underscores the uncertainty and vulnerability that come with deep emotional connections. The lyrics suggest a sense of inevitability, as if the singer is resigned to the fact that what they have is all they will ever get, and that it will ultimately belong to someone else. This creates a poignant atmosphere of longing and unfulfilled desire.

The chorus, with its plea to be informed when the singer's heart stops or when their silence is noticed, highlights the deep emotional dependency on the other person. The lines 'You're the only one that knows' and 'There's a possibility I wouldn't know' suggest a profound connection where the other person holds the key to the singer's emotional state. This dependency is further emphasized by the metaphor of walking like a thief, indicating that the departure of the loved one feels like a theft, leaving the singer empty and broken.

The recurring 'Mmmmmmmmmmm' throughout the song adds to the ethereal and melancholic tone, almost like a wordless expression of the pain and uncertainty the singer feels. The imagery of falling and following the lead of the loved one by blood and by personal connection suggests a deep, almost inescapable bond. The song captures the essence of being so intertwined with someone that their absence feels like a part of oneself is missing, and the possibility of moving on seems distant and unattainable.
