The Love That Remains
Embracing Desperation: The Profound Depths of 'The Love That Remains'
Lyrics
"Lives are lived, not missed
Lives are experienced fully, not overlooked or ignored.
I am two halves of what I think
The speaker identifies with two conflicting aspects of their thoughts.
Extinguish execution and fulfill the need to sink
Rejecting harmful actions and embracing the desire to immerse into depths.
Strong longing for what is fabrication
Intense desire for something that is artificially created or unreal.
Melancholy nostalgia for paths I haven't taken
Feeling sadness and yearning for paths not taken in life.
Can't you see in color, or is all the world dark?
Questioning perception, wondering if the observer sees the world vividly or with darkness.
As you breathe in sulfur, tonight we're worlds apart
Highlighting a significant distance or disconnect, symbolized by breathing in sulfur.
A pleasure you suffer an ailment you enjoy1
Describing a paradoxical experience of deriving pleasure from suffering.
The love that remains it leaves us desperate, void and paranoid
Reflecting on the lasting impact of love, which can lead to desperation, emptiness, and paranoia.
Saturation, the endless search for perfection
Pursuit of perfection through complete immersion or oversaturation.
Suffice it to suffocate
Choosing to endure or suppress to an extreme extent.
In control of a lifeless body on two separate planes of existence
Being in control of a lifeless body across two different planes of existence.
Lost myself in hopelessness
Expressing a state of being lost in despair and hopelessness.
Lives are lived not missed
Reiteration of the idea that lives should be fully lived and not ignored.
I share with the universe my consciousness
Sharing one's consciousness with the universe, implying interconnectedness.
Can't you see in color?
Repeating the question about perceiving the world in color.
Breathe in sulfur: tonight we're worlds apart"
Emphasizing the distance or separation, echoing the metaphor of breathing in sulfur.
