Lyrics
Cast aside
Feeling rejected or abandoned
Beaten and battered, for what?
Reflecting on being defeated and damaged, questioning the reason
How long until I feel the air inside my lungs?
Expressing a desire for relief or freedom, waiting for a breath of fresh air
Cast me aside
Reiteration of feeling discarded or pushed away
I felt love in my bones for the first time
Experiencing love at a deep, fundamental level
For so long I tried to make you see
Persistently trying to make someone understand
That I'd do anything to close the gap between two bodies.
Willing to do anything to bridge the emotional gap between two individuals
Has God drowned the fire amongst our being?
Questioning whether divine intervention has extinguished the passion between them
I've given all I have to give
Having given all one has, feeling helpless as everything falls apart
Watching as my world comes crashing all around me
Observing the collapse of one's world
All I can do, all I can do is stare.
Feeling powerless, only able to stare at the unfolding events
Fighting everyday to find the comfort of your arms inside a hopeless shelter
Struggling daily to find solace in the embrace of a seemingly futile refuge
You've faded
Noticing a fading presence
You drifted away
Experiencing a gradual drift or separation
Strangers with memories is what we've grown to be
Becoming strangers with shared memories
I'll never forget you
Expressing a commitment to remember despite the separation
Always gonna haunt you
Indicating a haunting impact on the other person
Bring me back to my feet
Seeking support to stand again
I'll never forget you
Reiterating the commitment to remember
Always gonna haunt you
Stressing the enduring impact on the other person's life
Suck the life out of me
Describing a draining effect on the speaker
Release me
Pleading for liberation
Release me from your grip
Requesting release from emotional control
Spill forth your venom
Asking for the expression of negative emotions
Bring me back to my feet
Yearning for support to stand strong again
Has God drowned the fire amongst our being?
Repeating the question about divine influence on their connection
I've given all I have to give
Reiterating the complete devotion, witnessing personal collapse
Watching as my world comes crashing all around me
Observing the disintegration of the speaker's world
All I can do, all I can do is stare.
Helplessly staring at the unfolding events, echoing line 13
Cast aside
Recurrence of feeling rejected or discarded
Beaten and battered, for what?
Reflecting on being defeated and damaged, questioning the reason (repeated)
How long until I feel the air inside my lungs?
Reiteration of the desire for relief or freedom, waiting for a breath of fresh air (repeated)
Cast me aside
Reiteration of feeling discarded or pushed away (repeated)
