Lyrics
Now you really should be above all this
The person being addressed should rise above certain behaviors or situations.
But in fact I can't avoid your Judas kiss
Despite trying, the speaker cannot avoid betrayal akin to Judas' betrayal of Jesus.
And I keep turning the other cheek for you to slap me down
The speaker keeps forgiving and enduring mistreatment or insults from the person.
It hurts when the knife's in deep, but I won't make a sound
Feeling pain from betrayal but choosing not to react audibly.
Turn off the song of broken days
Desire to stop hearing about troubled or difficult times.
Burn through another masquerade
Move past another false or deceptive display or pretense.
And I don't see it all as a blaze of glory
The speaker doesn't view everything as glorious or admirable.
Fidelity is a timeless thing
Remaining faithful is an enduring and timeless quality.
I hold it dear it's what I'm offering
The speaker values fidelity and offers it as part of themselves.
It's priceless like a matter of faith
Fidelity is invaluable, much like a matter of faith or belief.
Time to pass it on hold the light in the darkness until it's gone
Passing on the quality of holding onto hope or positivity in darkness until it's no longer needed.
Turn off the song of broken days
Wanting to stop hearing about troubled or difficult times (repeated from line 5).
Burn through another masquerade
Move past another false or deceptive display or pretense (repeated from line 6).
And I don't see it all as a blaze of glory
Not seeing everything as glorious or admirable (repeated from line 7).
And I keep turning the other cheek for you to slap me down
Continuing to endure mistreatment or insults (repeated from line 3).
It hurts when the knife's in deep, but I won't make a sound
Feeling pain from betrayal but choosing not to react audibly (repeated from line 4).
Broken days in the hourglass
Days filled with difficulties or troubles depicted as sand slipping through an hourglass.
Broken days in the hourglass
Reiteration of the concept of difficult or troubled days represented by an hourglass (repeated from line 17).
Broken days in the hourglass
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing presence of difficult or troubled times (repeated from line 17).
Broken days in the hourglass
Continued representation of challenging or troubled times in the hourglass (repeated from line 17).
