This song has a special meaning for me, for i lived something that could be descripited by the lyrics..
For me, it is about a relationship that is nearly on the end,
The one who sings is trying to express his feelings to his lover
about their own relationship:
"Dead star shine
Light up the sky
I'm all out of breath
My walls are closing in[..]"
Then he tries to tell his lover to give him a sign, to show him a way
where they can solve their relationship problems:
"Days go by
Give me a sign
Come back to the end
The shepherd of the damned"
He says to his lover that he can see that he can see that she is almost giving up on their relationship too, that she is chang towards him becaus of their problems:
"I can feel you falling away
No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break"
He then tells her that he will keep her as his lover, keep her "alive"(on his thoughts/heart), if she shows him the way
"I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way"
He tells her that if them break up, the scars will remain forever. She probably ignores that and goes forward in breaking up with him, then he asks her to leave him alone, "forever in the dark":
"Forever, and ever
The scars will remain
I'm falling apart
Leave me here forever in the dark"
He then sings about his own misery after the end of his relationship, and prably has suicidal thoughts because of it, trying to search for anyone who cares about him:
"Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care?
Is anybody there?
Take this life
Empty inside
I'm already dead"
He is convinced to try to revive his dead relationship, but feels that it will not works:
"I'll rise to fall again"
He then retries to continue his relationship with her, asking god and her to help him finding a way to do so, even if she does not see a way to be with him anymore, he probably knows that she is hiding something, that is a way "buried in the words" to solve their problems without breaking up:
"I can feel you falling away
No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever, and ever
The scars will remain
I'm falling apart
Leave me here forever in the dark
God help me I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun
God help me I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun
I can feel you falling away
No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever, and ever
The scars will remain
Give me a sign
There's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
Just give me a sign
There's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
Just give me a sign
There's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
