This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
The surface is so cold and worthless
All the things that I have still come from there
So paint the windows in front of my face
When you know damn well there's no one behind them
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
Just so you know
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
It's me against the world, still I'm losing ground
And I'd kill to taste what it must be like
Cause it's every one of my empty parts
That you fill, now
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
Just so you know
Yeah, and maybe it's all for the better now
Yeah, maybe things sort of make sense
Yeah, and maybe it's all for the better now
Yeah, well maybe things sort of make sense
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
Pause silence
Another moment dropped off
Left behind and
Hanging still
Pause silence
Another moment dropped off
Left behind and
Hanging still
You won't see me
You won't see me
You won't see me
You won't see me
I can't see you
I can't see you
I can't see you
I can't see you
And all it was was something...
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
All the things that I have still come from there
So paint the windows in front of my face
When you know damn well there's no one behind them
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
Just so you know
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
It's me against the world, still I'm losing ground
And I'd kill to taste what it must be like
Cause it's every one of my empty parts
That you fill, now
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
Just so you know
Yeah, and maybe it's all for the better now
Yeah, maybe things sort of make sense
Yeah, and maybe it's all for the better now
Yeah, well maybe things sort of make sense
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
Pause silence
Another moment dropped off
Left behind and
Hanging still
Pause silence
Another moment dropped off
Left behind and
Hanging still
You won't see me
You won't see me
You won't see me
You won't see me
I can't see you
I can't see you
I can't see you
I can't see you
And all it was was something...
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all

The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
