I think this song is about something that has hurt the writer very much. It's about someone very beautiful and perfect he loved and who once was with him but is now gone. "I once read a poem Held my breath But that moment's gone " This was the first time he felt life hurting or that there's something wrong in his life "First time I felt life somewhat hurts" And now he feels lost and all alone, he needs options and hope so he can go on. "Need an option and some hope" The first three lines indicate how perfect live was with this person, perhaps a women. It shows how much they fit each other. "We were one in words You finished my sentences (The answer to my puzzle)" Life without this person is nothing to him, he's not able to see tomorrow and is afraid to get lost. Perhabs he's about to give up hope (-> needs hope). "I can never attract tomorrow It pushes me aside I sink in waters deep " The presence of this person has always helped him to go on, with him/her by his side he lifed a rather good live. Although I don't no what the second line where he talks about the depths. I understand "depths", but what about those secrets? "Your presence kept me floating Far from depths where secrets lie" In the last two lines, the writer expresses that he wishes to turn something around or that he wants to keep something from happening. He wants to meet this person before someone or something else does so, but he knows that this is impossible it can only happen in another lifetime. This makes the thing that happened seeming very definite. "Maybe in another lifetime I could be the first you meet " In the last lines, the writer dircetly adresses someone. This could either be the person he misses so much or he could also try to adress the listener. However, he wants to be a shining light for someone, which means that he wants to help, direct and support someone and perhaps also wants to be admired and loved, though this person he adresses yells at him. But he is not abel to be this "light that shines" because his ground is shakeing, he seems to lose grip in live. This could be a consequence from the great pain he was forced to suffer by losing someone. So he perhaps wants to be a shining light for the listener but can't be because he's hurt so badly. "Yell at me, i want to be your light that shines But my ground's shaking and I might fall " In the last line the writer shows us again how much he wishes to do something, but I can't get behind what he exactly means by beeing the evil in a closet. "I wish that I could say... I wish I could be your evil in a closet" Great song anyway. I think it's very emotional and I can really relate to the wirters feelings. The only thing to do now is to figure out what happened to this person he misses... :o) The_savvy |
