Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
You're1 shaking all your fears away
so they won't forget who you are
And it's all because of me my friend
And2 they won't forget who you are
oh, how soft we are
(oh, how soft we are)
oh, how soft we are
Oh, how soft we are
You're shaking all your love away
so they won't forget who you really are
Maybe in a little, I'll see you tomorrow,
it's all that's good and said3, so let's go
All the life I knew before is good
Trust me I swear I will never let you down
(and I said) Trust me I swear I will never let you down
You're shaking all your fears away
so they won't regret who you really are.
So maybe in a little, I'll see you tomorrow,
it's all that's good and said, so let's go
All the life I knew is good
Trust me I swear I will never let you down
(oh how soft we are, oh how soft we are)
(and I said) Trust me I swear I will never let you down
(oh how soft we are, oh how soft we are)
Then when the light comes without a glow
Then when the fear went away
Then when the light
Giving into softly and sorrows
You can be the one who brings me to go
I can look softly between your eyes
I can be the one who knows your games
only for this life's cut bandage
I can't be put to sleep without it
I know you won't forget me tomorrow
'Cause I am not this world uncovered
You are not this dream, discovered
I will not be the one to hold your pain
'Cause I am not this world you hoped for
I don't want this dream you wanted
I will not be the one to hold your pain
(It's in your eyes)
(oh how soft we soft we are)
so they won't forget who you are
And it's all because of me my friend
And2 they won't forget who you are
oh, how soft we are
(oh, how soft we are)
oh, how soft we are
Oh, how soft we are
You're shaking all your love away
so they won't forget who you really are
Maybe in a little, I'll see you tomorrow,
it's all that's good and said3, so let's go
All the life I knew before is good
Trust me I swear I will never let you down
(and I said) Trust me I swear I will never let you down
You're shaking all your fears away
so they won't regret who you really are.
So maybe in a little, I'll see you tomorrow,
it's all that's good and said, so let's go
All the life I knew is good
Trust me I swear I will never let you down
(oh how soft we are, oh how soft we are)
(and I said) Trust me I swear I will never let you down
(oh how soft we are, oh how soft we are)
Then when the light comes without a glow
Then when the fear went away
Then when the light
Giving into softly and sorrows
You can be the one who brings me to go
I can look softly between your eyes
I can be the one who knows your games
only for this life's cut bandage
I can't be put to sleep without it
I know you won't forget me tomorrow
'Cause I am not this world uncovered
You are not this dream, discovered
I will not be the one to hold your pain
'Cause I am not this world you hoped for
I don't want this dream you wanted
I will not be the one to hold your pain
(It's in your eyes)
(oh how soft we soft we are)

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
There's some stuff at the end that i missed. I believe one of the guys says:
trust me, i swear I'll never let you down.
I really love this song, Cleavage is an amazing band that writes absolutely awesome songs... When I was reading the first part of this song, I thought it was about how in love with this person he is and how happy they are together, then as the song goes on, it tells of them breaking away from each other, and figuring out that they're not meant to be....maybe though I'm not sure... Awesome song though
