Return Our Lives Lyrics
But the left side of my heart is still the same
She was brave while they took me away
And I asked if she could come back and see
Like when we stayed silent for days
Our hearts rise like no one cares
To wait for my love come back and see
This is about a man who has an encounter with an angel, in the same idea as an alien abduction. He learns somethings about his life and his love, and wants the chance to just go back and fix things. He wants to go back to his life. He wants happiness (springtime...for one day). The line "My saviour complains that he wants more love) is a reference to the way an organized religion, like catholisism can make you feel like you can almost never do enough to be happy. You can never love enough, or be a good enough person because we're flawed. And its almost like they're making it seem like Jesus is complaining (or moreso the church) that he wants MORE love....and we can never give enough by flawed design. Its a contraversial line. But it makes good sense. In the end, we're all "out of love" to give.
while i agree with the religous undertones, listening to the album everythign seems to be interconnected, and the angels that are being reffered to can also be just one angel who was once loved, and is now lost, depending on your beliefs, angels could mean a girl, a guy, your faith, your god ect it's rather deep and beautifully depicted
