Re-Connect Lyrics

The fragments of connection died
Some things just won't fade with time
Hide behind a transparent eye
You can't see me but I can you...
Betray without a moment's thought
Regret nothing but getting caught
Your time has come and here I stand
Why should I hold out my hand to you...

I could never turn to you
Silenced by that look in your eye
Feel I'm slipping back again

Black cold night I toss and turn I'm sinking, feel so
...drained
Shroud me, blind me, sick, weak, empty, drag me
...into pain
I tried so hard, don't drown me, bound to me,
self indulgently ...crazed
Black as coal, my sunken soul, will it ever be
...saved?

Come on and twist that knife again
Well I'd like to see you fucking try
Never going back again

An answer won't come from me
Confront your own worst enemy
What does your mirror see
Is it time to face up to me?

the part that starts with "come on and twist that knife again" needs no interpretation. his tone and voice say it all...

dear people, its not always about love :)

its about a person standing in front of a mirror and talking to himself, sometimes memories speak back to him and sometimes the young him in the mirror speaks to him about how time runs so quick, how recklessness of the past could result such guilt in the present, and above all; the purpose of his life. so basically, its about a person struggling with ageing .

Song Meaning

@Op3t Finally! I think this can be applied to many of their songs, where the person he seems to speak to is actually himself standing in front of a mirror, which also gives those songs a whole new meaning.

I love the little reprieves in the song. "I could never turn to you..." and the bit mentioned above. It's such a good song and I think it's quite general and self-explainatory but at the same time you could apply deeper levels of meaning to it.

"I could never turn to you. I was silenced by that look in your eyes." it's u've come to express ur love but u saw the cold look on their face. The look that says "u're a stranger to me...." ahhh nobody deserves love. Not even me. We're just hurting each other on this pathetic journey.

OR

He was madly in love with her. she acted like she loves him back and kept using him, but, he was able to see what she was hiding and finally knew she was cheating on him.

After a period of time, she got into troubles and she came to him for help. he got so weak when he saw her in that condition and he wanted to turn away and think about his agonising memories when she left him, and he succeeded to bring back the pain.

With pain..hatred comes along, and now he's asking why would he help her?! Here he challenged her to make a fool of him again, as he would never be foolish twice, he also suggested that she better confront herself and see whats wrong with her that she's so evil

p.s. i recommend this meaning more than my past one
