Lyrics

So, we fall

Describing the act of descending or failing.

By the weight of the wine

Under the influence of alcohol, feeling burdened or overwhelmed.


My eye

Referring to the speaker's own perspective or sight.

It yearns

An intense desire or longing.


Here comes the guardian of ease

An entity or force that brings comfort and relaxation.

Here comes the carriage of light

Symbolic of illumination, clarity, or enlightenment.


Could I feel more?

Questioning the capacity to experience deeper emotions.


You'll never know me

Emphasizing the inability of someone else to truly understand the speaker.

I will never know you

Expressing the reciprocal nature of the lack of understanding between individuals.


Far away

Referring to a distant place or situation.

Lies on my eyes

The distance affects the speaker's perception or understanding.

Wake the saint

Invoking the idea of awakening a holy or pure aspect of oneself.

Shadow of my side

Suggesting a constant companion or reflection of oneself in darkness or difficult times.


Could I feel more?

Reiterating the question about one's capacity for deeper feelings.


You will never know me

Reaffirming the lack of understanding between the speaker and someone else.

I will never know you

Reciprocal acknowledgment of the mutual lack of understanding.


So we fall, we falter

Repeatedly experiencing failure or stumbling.

In the light, I'm golden

During moments of illumination, feeling powerful or significant.

So we fall, we falter

Repetition emphasizing the cycle of falling or failing.

In the light, I am bare

In moments of illumination, feeling exposed or vulnerable.
