This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
If you leave don't leave now please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night then we'll go our separate ways
We always had time on our side now it's fading fast
Every second every moment we've got to,
we've got to make it last
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let got at any price
I need you now like I need you then you always said we'd still be friends
someday.
If you leave I won't cry I won't waste one single day
But if you leave don't look back I'll run the other way
Seven years went under the bridge like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now you've got to
You've got to say you will
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let got at any price
I need you now like I need you then you always said we'd meet again
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let got at any price
I need you now like I need you then you always said we'd still be friends
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let got at any price
Promise me just one more night then we'll go our separate ways
We always had time on our side now it's fading fast
Every second every moment we've got to,
we've got to make it last
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let got at any price
I need you now like I need you then you always said we'd still be friends
someday.
If you leave I won't cry I won't waste one single day
But if you leave don't look back I'll run the other way
Seven years went under the bridge like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now you've got to
You've got to say you will
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let got at any price
I need you now like I need you then you always said we'd meet again
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let got at any price
I need you now like I need you then you always said we'd still be friends
I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let got at any price
