Proud, proud is to hear it all yeah yeah
Proud ah proud, proud is to watch us fall yeah yeah
Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes don't break mine

Cold fire used to inspire all not now
These are tired, maybe they'll find their niche
Or resort to wish

Make a wish, make a succotash wish
You live the pompous life
Throw kisses all the time
Make wishes don't break mine

Don't be low, you better watch the road
Don't be low, you got the strength and the balls

Chimes used to break my wish
Back... won't you bring him back? Not now

Don't be low, you better watch the road
Don't be low, you got the strength and the balls

Chimes used to break my wish

    It's about those "pompous" people (possibly other bands) who feel better when they see other people fail: "proud is to watch us fall" "make wishes, don't break mine".

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
