Gauze Lyrics

For me, the meaning of this song is about a guy who is in love with a girl he can't be with anymore. The girl fell in love with him FIRST (I can't stop what YOU began), he fell in love second. She doesn't want to be with him anymore. "I just don't know if I could" (let myself fall in love) "You've opened the gates (to love), now face the other side." When he says, "Just go on, it's cool, now head into the fire" (just go with the flow because you love her and it just feels right. The fire, meaning he's going into a relationship that will end and he's left by her and the relationship is over and he's still in love with her but there is nothing he can do about it). Switch on your game, stop wasting all your time." (Switch up what you're doing. Stop sulking in the fact that she doesn't want to be with you. Stop wasting your time and get off your ass and do something with your life.) "Surprise, It's you who'll face what you decide)" The surprise is that the relationship is over and you're still in love with her but can't have her.

Again, this is just my interpretation of the song.
