Riptide
Unveiling the Poignant Tale of Love and Loss in Ancient Sins' Riptide
Lyrics
The writing was clear on the wall
The message or warning was evident and clear beforehand.
Should have read, not gotten a call
Should have paid attention to the warning and not waited for communication.
It feels like loving you was a crime
Feels as though being in love with you was viewed as a wrongdoing or mistake.
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Desire to go back in time and change past actions or decisions.
I still hold on tight to everything you said
Clings tightly to the memories of what you said.
Your words buried in my mind can never be misread
Your words are deeply embedded in the mind and are clearly understood.
The Angel of Death won't stop until it takes again
A symbolic reference to an unstoppable force, possibly representing death or an ending.
Days are going by slower without you
Time feels like it's passing slowly in your absence.
It feels unreal, can this be true?
Experiencing disbelief or surrealness about the situation.
I know that it might be a while
Awareness that it might take some time for something anticipated.
But I can't wait to see you smile
Anxious to witness your smile again, despite the wait.
I still hold on tight to everything you said
Continues to tightly grasp onto your past words and promises.
Your words buried in my mind can never be misread
The impact of your words remains clear and cannot be misunderstood.
The Angel of Death won't stop until it takes again
Reference to an unstoppable force, possibly death or an ending, repeating.
You said you'd always be there for me
You assured of being there but were unexpectedly the one needing help.
Never knew you were the one in need
A realization of a hidden need or vulnerability in you.
I wish this was just one big dream
A wish for the current situation to be merely a bad dream.
I still hold on tight to everything you said
Continues to tightly hold onto your past words and promises.
Your words buried in my mind can never be misread
Your words remain deeply embedded and clear in the mind.
The Angel of Death won't stop until it takes again
Reiteration of an unstoppable force, possibly death or an ending.
