Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Tears falling slow.
From the bridge into the river below.
In your eyes I start to see.
A starry veil and the oceans of infinity.
Moon and stars above me.
Mingle with the blood inside my veins.
Empty arms that should be
Holding me close through nights of winter rain.
And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain.
It's colder than ever
Coming down
Now I'm drowning in shallows
'Cause I'm in so deep
There's neon melting in the rain
I took too much powder to sleep
When I hold you naked
When I hear your laugh
I got a sword to stem the rivers
And cut the moon in half.
Frozen stars above me
Mingle with the blood inside my veins
Empty arms that should be
Holding you close through nights of winter rain
And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
We danced wild
Kicked off our shoes
Not a cloud in the the sky to confuse.
Now the sky is cold and the sea is white
And there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun
And scratching the mountain side
From the bridge into the river below.
In your eyes I start to see.
A starry veil and the oceans of infinity.
Moon and stars above me.
Mingle with the blood inside my veins.
Empty arms that should be
Holding me close through nights of winter rain.
And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain.
It's colder than ever
Coming down
Now I'm drowning in shallows
'Cause I'm in so deep
There's neon melting in the rain
I took too much powder to sleep
When I hold you naked
When I hear your laugh
I got a sword to stem the rivers
And cut the moon in half.
Frozen stars above me
Mingle with the blood inside my veins
Empty arms that should be
Holding you close through nights of winter rain
And I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
We danced wild
Kicked off our shoes
Not a cloud in the the sky to confuse.
Now the sky is cold and the sea is white
And there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun
And scratching the mountain side

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I absolutely love this song. This man is walking the streets really late at night and sort of strung out on coke. He's remembering this girl with whom he had a fairly good relationship with. I love the images he puts into it ... "when I hold you naked, when I hear you laugh ..." and "we danced wild, we kicked off our shoes, not a cloud in the sky to confuse, but now the sky is cold ... etc. A great song about what it is to truly miss someone.
