Remember when you were the hunted
Remember when I swallowed you in
Remember the rewards shimmering on the floor
Off the plastic chandelier
Remember when I saw you in orbit
Remember when I pulled you back in
Remember looking on blinking into the dawn
Thinking how this will never end
Surrounded
Let's romanticize
Our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize
Our soft injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind
Distortion and liberties
Surrounded
We're surrounded or spiraling
Remember when I played assassin
Remember when my joking turned grim
Remember how we thought if we followed the dots
It would stop all the accidents
Remember when you broke my halo
Remember when I tied your wings in
Remember how we slipped on the lies we equipped
Just to bring back the goods again
Surrounded
Let's romanticize
Our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize
Our soft injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind
Distortion and liberties
Surrounded
We're surrounded or spiraling
Is it perfect in our little Hell
Are you dancing or stumbling beside me
Well this might not be
We'll just wait and see
So now that we've stopped hearing echoes
And now that the replay wore thin
Just remember who held you
Remember who held you
Remember who held you
Remember who held you
Remember who held you
Surrounded
Let's romanticize
Our beloved memories
Surrounded
Let's demonize
Our soft injuries
Surrounded
Can we get behind

Remember when I pulled you back in

Thinking how this will never end

like substitution, i think this song is about suicide. i know the album was written during a rough period when suicide was contemplated/attempted, i don't remember the details.. thats why it took like 2 years to be released. it has to do with how things used to be.. like, remember when i took care of you, and watched over you (verse 1), and now do you remember when things with me went from good to drastically bad ("remember when my joking turned grim," verse 2, etc)? and do you remember how we thought we could stop it, that we were bigger than it and could control it? the chorus has to deal with making the good times seem vastly better than they really were, and the second line is the complete opposite - demonizing injuries is making things seem exponentially worse than they actually are. "is it perfect in our little hell?..." refers to how its being dealt with and whether or not the support needed is actually being provided. also, "spiraling" is a psychology term referred to a complete downward spiral where one starts seeing things as being continuously negative and never getting better. it precedes suicide. just my input, but i know a lot of the album is based around suicide and it just seems to fit.
