I feel no pain
Cause I'm an island (alienation)
I will remain
In the deafness of your silence (estrangement)
I love you sometimes (maybe?)
Always Never (it's false)
He said you're here (who's he?)
Here with me now (let's imagine the narrator)
I feel no gain
When you're around me (straightforward)
I'll try again
In the darkness you astound me (sex? or maybe metaphorical darkness referring to distance and separation)
It's growing cold
I'm growing old
Is this the only way to see the fire?
It's raining...
(this WHOLE verse could be another song - it's probably, save the first two lines of the song, the most meaningful to me... it's about realizing how close death is, how letting go, how losing things ...is it the only way to fully appreciate it all? and the fire's going out when it's all too late... it's raining... depressing as hell)
