Cover art for Chasms lyrics by Raised By Swans

This song is about a breakup:

"You were my favourite view And then something changed As things always do We're chasms at close range"

He used to meet his significant one, and love was there, but something went wrong and time took it's toll, so they parted their ways.

"Surfaces not set in stone But half-crystallized A snapshot of snowswept ice A fleeting disguise"

It's about how their relationship is vulnerable, fragile and fugacious.

"But night leaves an open window And in this dream No hearts can break So turn the lights out And come stargaze I'll be By your side When you crack and split at the ridge We'll meet at the wild end Of the washed out bridge"

He'll dream about her, do what he couldn't do in real life, and he'll be with her until he ceases loving her. They'll eventually leave each other, and he'll go back to real life

"You'll be my favourite view Mine alone Let's never change For anyone"

What they'll had was unique, and she will be precious to him, even after getting over it. And then, he asks her to never change, it doesn't matter whoever will be part of her life from now on.
