Josh Garrels – Ulysses Lyrics 10 years ago
For me, this song is about someone in a happy relationship, but can't help but look at and wonder about others and feels incredibly guilty for it.
They know nothing good will come of it. They hope someday it'll stop happening. People have come and gone and there's a possibility that person will be another one, but they're still holding on to their relationship, even though it has faded since they've been together, in hopes it will light up again.
"Wicked winds I've blown" is great. The person has tried opening to others hoping someone will understand and tell them its okay, but instead they were made out to be a wicked person for saying or thinking such thoughts. There are others out there, who could make them happy, but the person knows it'll only end in disaster and not the fantasy in their mind.
True love is wonderful, but they are tied down because of it. Yet the memories of what it used to be pulls them towards the person they are with. They're on a leash going with, but looking back over their shoulder.
The person is determined to not be another failed relationship, and to not let that completely burn out.
