Only You

"i hear you calling out my name all of the elements will fade never before has love looked safe never again will it look the same"

this is basically saying that the person fell in love and will never be the same again.

"but then we fall back now to this empty house there the wars will rage and if you leave me now in this empty house baby its okay oh and its only you yeah its only you its only you and me oh and its only you yeah its only you its only you and me yeah"

he doesn't want her to leave him. it's just the two of them.

"and i feel you crawling out my veins leaving the walls inside with flames burning the emptiness i've saved until lonely you remain but then my lungs collapse and you pull me out forever i've been changed honey you can take me now til it all runs out baby it's okay oh but theres only you yeah its only you its only you i see girl if its only you yeah its only you its only you and me yeah can you feel it now"

he see's her in everything. all day long. he went through a rough time before, but then she came along. he's been changed for the better because of her.

"can you feel it now ive weighed it all out here and now my world turns inside out and i swear i i hear you calling i hear you calling out my name"

bottom line: he needs her. she's changed his world and now he wants to return the favor and help her.

about how a significant other is central to him and saves him from the hardships of life and makes it worth it...?

Love love LOVE this.

This is by far my favourite song on cycles. Even though cartel are a band that probably wouldn’t have anything to do with drug use perhaps this song is from someone’s else’s perspective or he‘s comparing his love for someone to the addictive qualities of a drug. The first part is saying that all he can think about is the drug everything around him/her fade away when he’s under the influence. No one really sees how bad this persons addiction is, it’s hidden. He/she is also thinking, maybe I’ll be okay if I leave this drugs alone but is never able to keep away. This verse is full of references (self explanatory): and i feel you crawling out my veins (injecting) leaving the walls inside with flames burning the emptiness i've saved until lonely you remain but then my lungs collapse and you pull me out (lung collapse [pneumothorax] is often cause by drug use) forever i've been changed honey you can take me now til it all runs out ive weighed it all out here and now my world turns inside out (he/she went too far and did too much) It gives this feeling as though the person knows how bad his/her drug use is but still can’t seem to turn away from it.

Did anybody else immediately think the beginning resembled Oasis' Wonderwall?

I don't get it! It's kind of confusing!
