I feel like it's the singer and possibly a lover who gave everything for eachother, looking back on a shattered life. They see friends, family, and poessions that the two cared about, all leaving them.
Things we lost to the flame
Things we'll never see again
All that we've amassed
Sits before us, shattered into ash- All of the things they had, or people they knew are abandoning them
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire
These are the things, the things we lost
The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire - Reapeating what the two lost/gave up for love
We sat and made a list
Of all the things that we have
Down the backs of table tops
Ticket stubs and your diaries I read them all one day- They had so much and just threw it all away
When loneliness came and you were away
Oh they told me nothing new,
But I love to read the words you used
These are the things, the things we lost- I feel as if the two ran off together because one of they were never together and wrote letters to one another, until they gave up on separation, met up, and ran off.
I was the match and you were the rock
Maybe we started this fire
We sat apart and watched
All we had burned on the pyre- The duo realize that this isolation together was caused by their leaving
(You said) we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now
(You said) we were born with nothing
And we sure as hell have nothing now- They realize that they only have each other now
Do you understand that we will never be the same again
Do you understand that we will never be the same again
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again- The singer is reassuring the other that their future is in good hands-their own. But he/she also wants them to know that this is drastically changing them both.
Flames they licked the walls
Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore. -The leaving was quick to ignite and take everything away, and it's snowballing
