This song, for me, is about someone who wants to change and find love but cannot bring themselves to get out there and actually change. It's quite sad how people would rather live "comfortably" than actually face their fears and live and truly love another person. They would rather not look at themselves and "stay at home" and "kiss it all goodbye" and miss out on life. All they can have and hold is their troubled past which has long since passed and been frozen like snow. They need to keep living, however, and cannot keep sleeping, so they go about life as normal, only to wake up in the middle of the night to voices telling them their happiness is only a sweet dream and missed opportunities. They don't want to fall back into their depression so they ignore the voices. A very sad but true to life song.
Some of the lyrics here are also wrong. I can't figure out what she is really saying in some parts.
I think its:
So I stay at home
In my own right
And I kiss it all goodbye
Life never seemed so elegant
And so tried, and so tried
No love, no loss
There's only air
I feel no pain
There's only here
She also does not say "from drowning in this", but I cannot make out what she is saying for the life of me.
This and troubled waters are the two best on the album.
yeah I couldn't understand half of what she was saying but I think I fixed it? My cd should arrive soon so I'll know for sure in the next couple of days
