Lyrics
Sheltered in your quiet youth
Expressing a sense of protection or refuge in the innocence of youth.
How much could you know?
Raising a question about the extent of understanding or knowledge.
I will tell you what to say
Asserting control by dictating what to say.
You'll listen now and you'll obey
Establishing authority and demanding obedience.
Wide awake at precocious hours
Being awake during early, insightful moments.
Topple from atop your towers
Metaphorically falling from a position of authority or confidence.
Are you feeling weak?
Questioning the emotional strength of the listener.
I've given you no chance to speak
Suppressing the opportunity for the listener to express themselves.
I cannot touch you, it's not time
Acknowledging a temporal inability to connect or influence.
To bask in your illusions
Discouraging reliance on false perceptions.
My foundation is too weak
Admitting personal instability as an unsuitable foundation.
For you to build your towers on me
Rejecting the idea of being the basis for someone's ambitions.
Breathe in deep, give me desire
Seeking intense passion or longing from the listener.
Loving is not in my nature
Claiming a lack of inclination towards love.
Give me all your youth
Requesting the surrender of the listener's youthful energy.
No fighting over what is true
Encouraging agreement without conflict over subjective truths.
Calloused skin, hard as diamonds
Describing tough, resilient skin comparable to diamonds.
How much do you feel?
Questioning the depth of emotional experience.
Ivory fangs locked away
Referring to concealed, untapped strengths or desires.
Lock your heart to use one day
Advising the listener to protect their emotions for future use.
All that we know is our skin
Stating that physical appearance is the extent of knowledge.
We've not accomplished more
Expressing a sense of stagnation or lack of achievement.
We're all alone in the abyss
Conveying a feeling of isolation in a vast emptiness.
Get on your knees and off the floor
Commanding submission and a change in posture.
I cannot touch you, it's not time
Reiterating a current inability to make a connection.
To bask in your illusions
Warning against embracing false perceptions.
My foundation is too weak
Reiterating personal instability as an unsuitable foundation.
For you to build your towers on me
Rejecting the listener's attempt to build upon the speaker.
Breathe in deep, give me desire
Requesting intense passion or longing once again.
Loving is not in my nature
Reaffirming a lack of inclination towards love.
Give me all your youth
Repeating the call for the surrender of the listener's youthful energy.
No fighting over what is true
Encouraging agreement without conflict over subjective truths, reiterated.
Give me all your youth
Reiterating the request for the surrender of the listener's youthful energy.
No fighting over what is true
Repeating the encouragement for agreement without conflict over subjective truths.
