I personally hear a tale of a lost love in these lyrics & the refrain speaks to how he hides the pain inside & doesn't let on to anyone that he is hurting deep inside. Give away a love And then remove another too Painted words adorn the walls Echoing untrue (I feel cold) >> Sounds like the end of a relationship, he had someone - maybe ended over too big an ego & he let it walk away, the words spoken of love & forever have lost all meaning. Promises abound You rarely find it to begin Maybe I'm afraid To let you all the way in (I guess so) >>> You rarely find it to begin - Love & how hard it is to find someone to love who feels the same way, he found another but he is still doubtful & unwillinging to let the new person in because he still mourns his other love. Lately I'm beside myself Pretending, unconcerned Standing on a corner Where I threw you on a turn (I'll move on) >> He is living a pretend existance, telling everyone he is happy but in reality has not moved on from the point of their demise. He threw what they had away & he feels regret but knows you can't turn back time. Flowers on a cross remain Mark an ending scene Damn it all if blood you spill Turn the grass more green (Life is short) >> That moment in time is like a roadside car accident. It is over, but he can't let it go. It is always in his head, regret & so he lives eternally with the pain inside... his personal hell |
