Unheld but stay pretending we'll get better over time
The bars and chains are old but new
I got away still under you
And please don't take everything from me
And I will breathe in every word you mean
If you could please promise them to me
Collect the days to bend things so its better over time
Hung up on all the shades and hues
Always the same still under you
And please don't take everything from me
And I will breathe in every word you mean
If you could please promise them to me
woke up today in casts of blue unheld but stay pretending we'll get better over time the bars and chains are old but new i got away, still under you
Unhappy about a relationship. The challenges remain the same. A breakup may have been attempted but failed.
so please don't make more promises to me and please don't take everything from me and i will breathe in every word you mean if you could please promise them to me
Indicating promises that were made but not kept, resulting in turbulence in the relationship. Still hoping it may somehow work out, and not result in more let-downs. At this point there could also be an indication of a dominant and recessive role in the relationship, considering "i got away, still under you" in the first verse, followed by "and please don't take everything from me" in this verse.
fell on my way to get it through collect the days to bend things, so it's better over time hung up on all the shade and hues always the same still under you
Tried to carry through a breakup, but failed in the attempt. The situation seems hopeless as it is, with no signs of changes for the better to come. Given up on all expectations and hopes. Planning how to make it through the days, focusing on which other aspects there are available to make time pass and forget the rest.
A song about spiritual awakening, and escaping some limitations only to find new ones. Promises and expectations for the future are replaced with meaning making in the moment (breathe in). Who is the "you"? god/existence. Still under god.
