Lyrics
Oh how I lived the game
Reflecting on past experiences in the "game" of life.
When we were dancin' on bridges
Nostalgia for a time when joy and dancing were prevalent.
High above rivers of tears and
Recalling moments above difficulties symbolized by "rivers of tears."
The lightness of innocence gave us wings
The innocence of the past provided a sense of freedom and elevation.
We were sleepin' covered
Describing a state of comfort and security under the cover of darkness.
By darkness' black velvet
Darkness represented by "black velvet."
So far from coldness
Being far from emotional coldness.
So far from light
Being far from the metaphorical light, possibly innocence.
Where is the place
Searching for a place of refuge.
I used to hide
The hiding place from difficulties or pain.
Where are the hearts
Questioning the whereabouts of affectionate hearts from the past.
Once given to me
Reflecting on hearts that were once given but may no longer be present.
And I can feel it now
Sensing the presence of something unsettling.
The white cold hand
Feeling the impact of a cold, possibly harsh, reality.
For the first time I'm getting hurt
Experiencing pain for the first time.
By the thorns of the roses in my hand
Symbolizing pain through the thorns of roses in hand.
Time is returning to its realm
Time is regressing, returning to a difficult period.
And it's slowly melting away
The passage of time is slowly disappearing.
Like deep red wax
Time described as melting away like deep red wax.
Leaving pools of blood
Leaving behind emotional wounds and difficulties.
Where is the place
Continuing the search for a refuge or safe place.
I used to hide
Recalling a hiding place from the past.
Where are the hearts
Questioning the whereabouts of hearts previously received.
Once given to me
Reflecting on the absence of once-given hearts.
And sweet voices, turn into sirens
Transformation of comforting voices into ominous sirens.
Foretelling, the presence of death
Sirens foretelling the presence of death, indicating a sense of impending doom.
