Lyrics

The place I used to live made me feel like a tourist

The environment where I used to live felt unfamiliar and distant.

I couldn't coexist with the cold and suspicious

I couldn't coexist with the cold and suspicious atmosphere of that place.

When the last remaining light was starting to filter

As the last remaining light faded, it seemed like the right time to move forward.

It seemed the perfect time to step into the future

The fading light created an opportune moment to embrace the future.


Your heart is a grave to be perfectly honest

Your heart, honestly speaking, is like a grave.

Your mouth's a smoking gun

Your words are like a weapon, causing harm.

And you smile while you're twisting the knife in my stomach

You smile while causing emotional pain, twisting the metaphorical knife in my stomach.

Until everything is gone

This continues until everything is lost or destroyed.


Take all you can from me

Take everything you can from me.

I've got weak constitution

I have a fragile nature or disposition.

I'm led so easily

I am easily influenced or led.

So easily

This susceptibility makes it easy for others to take advantage.


I left it all behind in the dead of last winter

I left my past behind during the harsh winter.

I left it all behind but the question still lingers

Despite leaving, unanswered questions linger in my mind.

So long, forgotten friends

Farewell to friends who are now forgotten or distant.

No you don't know the difference

You don't understand the distinction between love and submission.

Between love and submission

Highlighting the confusion between love and surrender.

And I'm not that obedient

I'm not that obedient; I resist conforming easily.


Your heart is a grave to be perfectly honest

Reiterating that your heart is like a grave.

Your mouth's a smoking gun

Your words act as a destructive force, like a smoking gun.

And you smile while you're twisting the knife in my stomach

You derive satisfaction from causing pain, smiling as you hurt me.

Until everything is gone

This continues until everything is lost or destroyed.

Take all you can from me

Take everything you can from me.

I've got weak constitution

My constitution is weak; I am easily influenced.

I'm led so easily

I am led or controlled easily by others.

So easily

Emphasizing my susceptibility to external influence.


And she's trying to sleep it off

A shift to another perspective: she is trying to overcome something while sleeping.

With her head on my shoulder

She seeks comfort with her head on my shoulder during this struggle.

And I'm trying to keep it out

I attempt to keep negative thoughts at bay while holding her.

Of my thoughts when I hold her

Highlighting the effort to protect positive thoughts when embracing someone.
