Lyrics

The lights go out and I can't be saved

The situation feels dire, and I feel helpless.

Tides that I tried to swim against

Challenges I've attempted to overcome.

Have brought me down upon my knees

I've been brought down to a vulnerable position.

Oh, I beg, I beg and plead

Desperation, pleading for something.

Singin' come out of things un said

Expressing hidden or unsaid thoughts.

Shoot an apple off my head

Metaphor for taking a dangerous risk.

And a trouble that can't be named

Refers to an unidentified problem or difficulty.

A tiger's waiting to be tamed, singin'

A metaphorical reference to an untamed or unresolved issue.


You are

Repetition emphasizing the subject's significance.

You are

-

Confusion that never stops

Continuous state of being perplexed.

Closing walls and ticking clocks

Feeling trapped and pressured by time.

Gonna come back and take you home

A desire to return to a familiar place or state.

I could not stop that you now know

Regret over inability to prevent a certain outcome.

Singin' come out upon my seas

Confronting personal challenges or problems.

Cursed missed opportunities

Regret over missed chances or possibilities.

Am I a part of the cure

Questioning if one contributes positively or negatively.

Or am I part of the disease? Singin'

Questioning if one is part of the solution or problem.


You are

Reiteration, emphasizing importance.

You are

-

You are

-

You are

-

You are

-

You are

-

And nothing else compares

Reaffirmation of the subject's unmatched significance.

Oh, no, nothing else compares

-

And nothing else compares

-

You are

Repetition for emphasis on importance.

You are

-

Home, home, where I wanted to go

Expressing longing to return to a desired place.

Home, home, where I wanted to go

-

Home, home, where I wanted to go

-

Home, home, where I wanted to go
