@ neonsky , i really like what you said about "I'd serve you drugs on a silver plate If I thought it would help you get away" as in, if you were in as much pain as I am, I'd do anything to take it away from you. But when it comes to "I'm slowly bringing you down from the Heavenly gates Now I'm drowning in the flood I made Well explain myself to me on the other side I'll watch from Heaven when I die" I'm thinking "slowly bringing you down" is more like realizing she is not perfect, not what he thought she was. or getting over her. but 'drowing in the flood' is like, he's pretty engulfed by his sadness, and the tears. and the mess. and "explain myself to me on the other side," is like, when he's gone, she can talk and think about it, and reflect, because he'll be in heaven listening to her every word and that's probably the only way she will be honest, when she talks to him when he's dead. "And we spoke About the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost And which songs we had loved the most And then we all turned to dirt And dust" here, i think he's talking about how they had so much in common, and their conversations were filled, yet their turned malicious and vile and then to nothing. "and at the bottom you'll find all our friends They don't swim cause they're all dead We never are what we intend, or invent" I think here, its more like they are not friends with the friends they did have during the relationship because of the breakup. they're all dead could mean they don't mean anything anymore. the ties are dead. and 'we are never what we intend' could mean that no matter how hard he hoped and wished for what he wanted them to be, as in perfect lovers/soulmates, it never turns out quite the way you want it to. nothing in life does. |
