"The mighty continents divided
For a second time in all history
They found themselves just floating
Free from all responsibility
Without the weight of being whole
Some fruits evolved all on their own"
I think this means that her and her love split up, or divided. They were so in love that they had become "the mighty continent". They were the most combined force in history. Then they floated free without the weight of being whole, meaning they seperated and just kind of drifted for a while. The last line of this stanza, I think means, She was alone and had to adapt to a new way of life.
"While you've got your pretty scales and fins you say
See all the things that i can do
So perfectly my body moves but in
All the time you felt so free
Did you forget how much you once loved me"
So here obviously he has taken well to "single" life and he flaunts how much better he's doing now. She's hurt by this and asks if he forgets that he ever loved her.
This song has a lot of meaning and deep metaphors. I love the feeling of desperate heart break in the song, and the way that even though he's left and flaunts it; she still never wants to forget him. I can relate in more ways than I orriginaly knew.
I think this song is a story of a broken heart.
