first to comment on the song... this one's quite sad to me. the more i've heard it, the heavier it's become, the more it feels sort of heartbreaking. some of this is only an approximation, but here's my interpretation thus far:

they who made you, they made me too quiet like you, violent like you i'll see you live, wild in my dreams when you return, go to the sea air is your permanent struggle to breathe when you return, go to the sea

gone, gone, gone you were never alone i'll come home and raise you up to what's left
go, go

ghost of your voice finally rests/rise open your eyes now to all that --- life/is left (?) don't be afraid now, you won't need me you'll be at peace now, at last from the sea you will forget eventually a life that you wasted that led to the sea

gone, gone, gone you were never alone i'll come home and raise you up to what's left

gone, gone, gone you were never alone i'll come home and raise you up to what's left oh, oh

they who made you, they made me too i say they can make us again
