No Way Back

"Babe, I know you never leave without Your gun ..."

my favorite line of this song

I think this song is about about someone who is very headstrong going into a situation that they have no control over. A situation that could end on a bad note.

First off, this song is completely amazing.

This song is about someone in a relationship (friend, girlfriend/boyfriend) that's being directly affected by some complicated/tough situation. It's being sung from the perspective of the friend. The person who'se suffering doesn't want to drag the other into this and cause them more pain, they want to go into it alone as not to hurt this person they care about.

I'm stuck, I'm out of luck (the person can't find a way to help) I'm trying to talk my way out of this (the friend is attempting to stop the relationship for fear of dragging the singer into it, but the friend wants to be there) Even fog lifts, but no not this (the situation in question isn't something that can end easily and is only going to continue to taint the relationship) There's no way you're coming back (the person is being stubborn, trying to protect the singer) Babe I know you'll never leave without your gun (the person is always on guard, sleeping with one eye open) But if you'll let it be and just sit down and lay your head on me and just stay with me (the singer doesn't care about the situation, and only wants to be there with them through it) We could leave I'll dim the stars We'll steal away from here We'll run so fast and so far We'll burn up these streets Our mystery complete (trying be there for the person, an attempt to show they won't leave no matter how complicated things get) The moon will die of shame (there's no reason to be in this alone)

Beautiful song, absolutely amazing.
