|
What I'm hearing is trouble between two lovers or previous lovers. The scenery as described by black skies, lightning, ashes and the earth splitting open are not physical realities, but emotional from the problems between them. Now taking it from that angle, it sounds like he's talking to hear and blaming her of various things instead of pointing the finger at himself, but her response is hey this is what you get, as if he did something wrong that he will not admit. I'll take it by lines... *** is my meaning. I remembered black skies / the lightning all around me I remembered each flash / as time began to blur Like a startling sign / that fate had finally found me *** emotional turmoil. And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve *** he's being blamed So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean *** if you play out the song where he lays blame, it seems this line asks for a way to start again *** as if he wants to restore things if she changes Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space between Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies Across this new divide *** again can we restore things and bring us together There was nothing in sight / but memories left abandoned *** painful conflicts between them is what he remembers *** it's not something he wants to dwell on so leave them behind *** or maybe the bad stuff has caused them to leave behind all the good memories in the dust *** in place of these bad memories There was nowhere to hide / the ashes fell like snow And the ground caved in / between where we were standing And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes Across this new divide In every loss / in every lie In every truth that you'd deny And each regret / and each goodbye was a mistake to great to hide *** here are your faults that drove me away *** "you" is direct reference to her And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve *** your bad reason So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space between Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies Across this new divide ------------------------------------------ That's just my angle on it. Guy has girl problems and wants a want to undo it all if possible. Ain't it the truth? Give us a break, ladies! |
