i listened to the song and followed along with the lyrics posted above, and i didn't notice that many mistakes. the only i could find were that the chorus (shakespeare, sang air on air...) and the end verse (to our end, no imagery) weren't indicated at places where they were repeated (which many musicians often leave out when transcribing their lyrics), and the words get a bit fumbled towards the end, like what was written could be what he was singing, but since his tortured screaming voice is so hard to understand, we can only guess. i find that common in sdre songs, the lyrics vary with every version of the song, sometimes there aren't even set lyrics for them, jeremy just sings whatever he wants (i.e.: the blankets were the stairs, song about an angel).
To the meaning of this song, i honestly really dont know. i think the dove mentioned in the beginning could be like peace, and peace left him very quickly as if it weren't there at all and now he's bleeding, or just suffering. for the part about shakespeare, i guess he could be saying that shakespeare wrote and sung his woes, so he will try that as well, or something like that, i dunno. i dont really want to take a stab at the next 2 verses, but i think the end part is him screaming to the "other" person in the song, the one whom he relates to whom he wants to join in there misery, which is why he screams to wait at the end for him so they can both help each other.
i think that most of jeremy's lyrics have the underlying theme that words are inadequate to explain emotions, which is why his lyrics often dont even make real sentences, they're just words that he sings to try to express his mind.
awesome song, though, one of my favorites by them next to iscarabaid and the blankets were the stairs.
