This is mt favourite of his songs and to be honest I don't actually know what the song means so I'll give you my interpretation of it. Overall to me the song is sang to someone dying, or the relationship dying. If you must wait, Wait for them here in my arms as I shake Here, "them" is death, and they want to be close to them but their arms are shaking beside they're so emotional. If you must weep, Do it right here in my bed as I sleep People usually cry while they are dying, and he want to be with them, but he doesn't want to see them cry, so he's asking they do it while he sleeps If you must mourn, my love Mourn with the moon and the stars up above If you must mourn, Don't do it alone Once again he doesn't want them to be alone, as they mourn their own death. If you must leave, Leave as though fire burns under your feet He's saying if they're going to die on him they should do it quickly, as in its probably more painful to watch them die If you must speak, Speak every word as though it were unique These are her last words so he's asking her to choose them carefully If you must die, sweetheart Die knowing your life was my life's best part I feel like this part is very literal If you must die, Remember your life I feel like this part is literal too and he's asking her to remember him again You are You are Oh, you are You are Oh He doesn't quite know what to say If you must fight, Fight with yourself and your thoughts in the night He's saying she she should put her all, and instead of arguing with him, she should work on making herself better If you must work, Work to leave some part of you on this earth If she's going to do something that will cause strain she should do something that counts, she should leaver her mark, so he and others can remember her If you must live, darling one, Just live Just live Just live He just wants her to survive, because it's painful watching her die. |
