I relate to this song being about a really bad breakup.
"This place rings with echoes of
Lives once lived but now are lost
Time spent wondering about tomorrow..."
Being in an apartment after he/she leaves. You think back to all the routines, the time spent with that other person. And you constantly think about tomorrow... does it get worse or better?
"“I don’t love you anymore” is all I remember you telling me
Never have I felt so cold
I have no more blood to bleed
As my heart has been draining into the sea"
To sit there and have someone tell you they don't love you when you love them more than anything is the worst. You really feel like something is dying inside.
"Since I’ve taken your footsteps
Getting me closer to what is left
Of the dreams of what I once claimed to know"
To me that is saying... your taking that other person's road of just not caring, letting go. You give up caring just trying to find something normal again.
"Within my bones this resonates
Boiling blood will circulate
Could you tell me again what you did this for?"
He/She's pissed. Everything you thought normal, all your plans/dreams were torn away when the other person left. All you really want to know now is why?
I can really relate to this song. I really got into Rise Against because of it when my wife and I divorced. Great song whatever your opinion on the meaning though.
