Open to May, when we were young and brave
Took steps to remove me, I'll come in and out with the tides
The lost and the love, I admire
You had every chance to close this, to take it all down and out of sight
Where there's nothing to find and there's nothing to hide
Your breath fills my skin, all the way in
In the event of an emergency, I'll ask for your saving again
Return to now, as we are opened wide
Underneath the haze of lights and scents of cigarettes and lies
So say your goodbyes and let it all die tonight
'Cause you have every chance to close this, and let it all in and out of sight, where there's nothing to hide, where faith buries strike
Your breath fills my skin, all the way in
In the event of an emergency, I'll ask for your saving again
I'd sleep in mountains of rain to never escape from the endless you
And we'll side step the masses and live life through the glasses of truth
And you'll never go away
Yeah, you'll never go away
Took steps to remove me, I'll come in and out with the tides
The lost and the love, I admire
You had every chance to close this, to take it all down and out of sight
Where there's nothing to find and there's nothing to hide
Your breath fills my skin, all the way in
In the event of an emergency, I'll ask for your saving again
Return to now, as we are opened wide
Underneath the haze of lights and scents of cigarettes and lies
So say your goodbyes and let it all die tonight
'Cause you have every chance to close this, and let it all in and out of sight, where there's nothing to hide, where faith buries strike
Your breath fills my skin, all the way in
In the event of an emergency, I'll ask for your saving again
I'd sleep in mountains of rain to never escape from the endless you
And we'll side step the masses and live life through the glasses of truth
And you'll never go away
Yeah, you'll never go away

Absolutely amazing - just breathtaking.
I think this is definitely a love song. But its written in a pretty cryptic and mysterious way - like "Where faith buries strike" doesn't make much sense. Which leads my second opinion being to believe he is becoming closer to terms with his religion. But that's just me.
No doubt a beautiful love song. Definitely a step up for 36 Crazyfists - I didn't think they'd be able to produce an acoustic song like "Left Hand Charity", which has a similar meaning to "The Tide And Its Takers".
When I say "love song", it's basically any kind of love. Whether its unrequited or undying or just simply asking for a second chance...there could be more to the story but songs are meant to mean what the listeners think - and thats what I think personally...
Surely it makes more sense if it's "Where faith buries strife"?<br /> <br /> And also "I'd sleep in mountains of rain to never escape from the endless youth" to rhyme with truth in the following line.<br /> <br /> Anyway love this song. Especially the singing of "Your breath fills my skin, All the way in. In the event of an emergency, I'll ask for your saving again"<br /> <br /> Seems like he is reflecting on a complicated relationship where he keeps getting drawn back in, and I guess kind of blames the other person for not ending it properly.
