Cover art for From The Red lyrics by Destroy the Runner

it sounds to me.. that the guy was in a relationship.. But they argued a lot.. so he thought he should not follow her anymore..

This love torn apart by every word [meaning they argue and its killing their relationship]

Is it hopeless love all we have? [questioning if their love is hopeless]

Is this what we dreamed? [ he doesnt think its what or how they wanted things to be ]

I cannot go, Take this heart, let it die slow [he cant go with her anymore, but he'll always love her, even though its killing him]

Tear away from the pain Tear away from the red. [hes trying to get away from the relationship]

Are we trading in our hearts for emptiness? [ he doesnt think theres love in the relationship anymore.. but he still loves her so hes trading his heart for nothing]

Is this love or human condition? [humans have the need to be loved, so hes wondering if its actually love or just the need..]

I close my eyes to see you. Hope is in your name. Where you are I cannot go. Take, this heart and let it die slow..
