What I'm hearing is trouble between two lovers or previous lovers. The scenery as described by black skies, lightning, ashes and the earth splitting open are not physical realities, but emotional from the problems between them.
Now taking it from that angle, it sounds like he's talking to hear and blaming her of various things instead of pointing the finger at himself, but her response is hey this is what you get, as if he did something wrong that he will not admit.
I'll take it by lines... *** is my meaning.
I remembered black skies / the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash / as time began to blur
Like a startling sign / that fate had finally found me
*** emotional turmoil.
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
*** he's being blamed
So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean
if you play out the song where he lays blame, it seems this line asks for a way to start again
as if he wants to restore things if she changes
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
*** again can we restore things and bring us together
There was nothing in sight / but memories left abandoned
painful conflicts between them is what he remembers
it's not something he wants to dwell on so leave them behind
or maybe the bad stuff has caused them to leave behind all the good memories in the dust
in place of these bad memories
There was nowhere to hide / the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in / between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide
In every loss / in every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret / and each goodbye
was a mistake to great to hide
here are your faults that drove me away
"you" is direct reference to her
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
*** your bad reason
So give me reason / to prove me wrong / to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason / to fill this hole / connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
That's just my angle on it. Guy has girl problems and wants a want to undo it all if possible. Ain't it the truth? Give us a break, ladies!
