"Morning bled at the water's edge
The city was bringing me down
And my mind was on a ledge
Saying who's gonna help you now?"
First verse gives the imagery of someone who left the city and is watching the sunrise at the beach, beach because of the coming seagulls reference.
Without sun we pull what feeds us from the heat that's in-between us
How can we expect to build a boat
Seagulls running everything
Absolutely love the first line. It appears to be referencing the now engulfed darkness of nighttime, as the sun has set, & when it's dark people get the essential energy they need from contact with one another.
Hard. You make it hard. Hard.
This line is somewhat open. I think it means, as the song goes on, that the breakup is now making it hard on him. & further contact or the absence is hard.
It's all the opposite I think
The ladder runs side to side
Enough to make you want a drink
But there's no place to hide
This seems to say, I once thought I had all the answers and had everything figured out but now I don't know what to think. All my views have changed &, The ladder runs side to side, my world is completely flipped upside down. Everything's not as it should be. This is enough to make you want to get away from everything but no matter what, there is no place to hide, and you can't escape this feeling.
Watching shadows within shadows within shadows,
They hide their dark self from the sun,
And her voice is just a memory you're not fooling anyone
Getting so deeply lost in an emotional state that you're watching shadows within shadows within shadows. A very dark place! A mental state that wouldn't dare exist in the light of day. Her voice triggers a memory that makes you realize why you're feeling so lost & how you put on the mask in the day to everyone that everything's fine but deep down you're not & not fooling anyone
Hard. You make it hard. Hard.
Once again, reference that the girls absence or still involvement is making it hard. I like to think absence. Makes complete sense that way.
