Lyrics
Ex-lovers stalk the streets like shot arrows
Ex-lovers are present in the surroundings, reminiscent of aimed arrows.
We were burning down houses singing "love has left us low"
Engaging in destructive behavior while singing about the impact of love's departure.
You swim the water now even though you know exactly what lies below
Choosing to navigate through challenges despite knowing the potential consequences.
Calling "wolf" each time you say you'll go
Expressing skepticism by using the metaphor of crying "wolf" when announcing departure.
Eternity, in your arms
Feeling a sense of eternity when embraced by someone.
Wrap your heart in chain mail
Protecting one's heart with emotional armor or barriers.
We all die just to feel alive
Highlighting the paradox of dying to experience the feeling of being alive.
Your friends become echoes of a life that you left behind
Friends serve as reminders of a past life that has been abandoned.
Floating like an astronaut in space
Floating in a state of detachment, akin to an astronaut in space.
They tell me that purgatory's such a pretty place
Referring to purgatory as an aesthetically pleasing place.
But I never thought about living here
Never contemplating living in purgatory.
Heaven knows hell's gates are near
Acknowledging the proximity of hell's gates despite not dwelling on living in purgatory.
Forever seems like such a thing to waste
Contemplating that the concept of forever may be wasted.
Eternity, in your arms
Feeling a sense of eternity when embraced by someone (repeated theme).
Wrap your heart in chain mail
Reiterating the need to protect one's heart with emotional armor (repeated theme).
We all die just to feel alive
Reemphasizing the paradox of dying to feel alive (repeated theme).
Your friends become echoes of a life that you left behind
Friends continue to serve as echoes of a forsaken past (repeated theme).
I've been a man, now a ghost
Transitioning from being a living man to existing as a ghost.
Two of the things that you fear most
Acknowledging the fear associated with being a man and a ghost.
Now is the end of this journey, what's left for me?
Reflecting on the conclusion of a journey and questioning what remains.
I've been a man, now a ghost
Reiterating the transition from being a man to becoming a ghost (repeated theme).
Two of the things that I fear most

Now is the end of this journey, what's left for me?

Now I'm left asking myself
Raising existential questions about the existence of a watching god.
If there's a god up watching me I just can't see
Expressing difficulty in perceiving a god while questioning divine intentions.
Then how could he build a world but still not fix you and me?
Pondering the inconsistency of a god creating the world but not resolving human relationships.
If there's a god up watching us I just can't see
Reiterating the challenge in perceiving a god while questioning divine intentions (repeated theme).
Then how could he build a world but still not fix you and me?
Repeating the pondering on the inconsistency of a god in creating the world without fixing human relationships (repeated theme).
