As it flashed before my eyes
Like rain crashing from skies
I am shaken by the sight
Before I can find a pen
It is gone in the wind
Broken string, runaway kite
Please don't you give me false hope
You're free to go
I don't want you to cope
Now is when i choose to fight
To make it right
Or just to let it die
Find me electricity
Like the time that precedes words
There are colors but no rules
Even the dead carry on
Should I resurrect this hope?
Would it find a home
Or just leave me more alone?
Now I struggle to believe
I'm capable
Of waking up these dreams
Find me electricity
She says
"Keep an open heart"
I've come this far
It's time to set the fire
Like rain crashing from skies
I am shaken by the sight
Before I can find a pen
It is gone in the wind
Broken string, runaway kite
Please don't you give me false hope
You're free to go
I don't want you to cope
Now is when i choose to fight
To make it right
Or just to let it die
Find me electricity
Like the time that precedes words
There are colors but no rules
Even the dead carry on
Should I resurrect this hope?
Would it find a home
Or just leave me more alone?
Now I struggle to believe
I'm capable
Of waking up these dreams
Find me electricity
She says
"Keep an open heart"
I've come this far
It's time to set the fire

The only part that I don't think fits is this:
"please don't you give me false hope you're free to go i don't want you to cope"
If it's a relationship then "you" makes sense. But if it's about art, who is this "you" person? A muse? Art itself? It's sort of unclear. Also, again, the end seems to me to say that he's going to burn it down - "set the fire" doesn't feel like a constructive idea in this context but rather a destructive one. So if it's about art...has he decided to destroy his artistic interest?
Probably you have answers for this, I'm just not seeing them...
