Decima Lyrics

So from this song, I get strong Romeo & Juliet type of vibes. Two lovers that struggle with the burdens of life's journey and agree to take their own lives together, but one of them is scared and having seconds thoughts. The chorus and the second verse of the song lead me to believe this.

"Darling, you had me here for awhile Breaks my heart to see you cry In the wake of incomplete time"

The lover of whom's perspective the song is being sung is crying because they don't think they are ready to leave.

"So take however long you want (But don't forget, my love) You pledged yourself to come along"

The bridge even makes it sound like one of the lovers was too afraid to go along with the plan, thus letting the other die while they themselves went on living.

"One heart is in the ground The other is veiled in silver all around"

Though it is a bit depressing, this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Jonas Renske's voice is just pure gold, and the tone of the music and the way he sings the song is just captivating.
