The place where I have always been free has begun to consume me
I stand along this windswept shore and feel it more and more
You've made your promises, that I have drowned inside
The windswept shore is silent in absence of the tide
The place where I have always been free has begun to consume me
I stand along this windswept shore and feel it more and more
A spirit frayed, a bond was broken; a sudden switch, words were spoken
Below the waves there is proof that we have never known the way
You've made your promises, that I have drowned inside
The windswept shore is silent in absence of the tide
,,,And we stand still, nothing worth changing
No cause to seek within our minds
There will never be another dawn here
A time where I'd feel, a time for taking; and the path to freedom passed us by
Watch the waves and wither away here
In sleep, the sea
In peace, in ruin
You've made your promises, that I have drowned inside
The windswept shore is silent in absence of the tide
I stand along this windswept shore and feel it more and more
You've made your promises, that I have drowned inside
The windswept shore is silent in absence of the tide
The place where I have always been free has begun to consume me
I stand along this windswept shore and feel it more and more
A spirit frayed, a bond was broken; a sudden switch, words were spoken
Below the waves there is proof that we have never known the way
You've made your promises, that I have drowned inside
The windswept shore is silent in absence of the tide
,,,And we stand still, nothing worth changing
No cause to seek within our minds
There will never be another dawn here
A time where I'd feel, a time for taking; and the path to freedom passed us by
Watch the waves and wither away here
In sleep, the sea
In peace, in ruin
You've made your promises, that I have drowned inside
The windswept shore is silent in absence of the tide

I take it as being about a lover that has "betrayed" you (although could be about an individual or entity too).
"You've made your promises, that I have drowned inside The windswept shore is silent in absence of the tide"
These lines that are repeated suggest that they promised their loyalty / love to someone and fully believed in their relationship (gave it their all ... drowned their own self to be with them), but now that they have swept them aside they are not sure of who they are. That is, they are "lost" (absent of the tide) without them because they gave themselves so fully to that relationship.
