Wrecked
Love's Unyielding Impact
Lyrics
What man is wise under the sun
Reflects on the rarity of true wisdom among people.
Does his face shine to look upon
Questions whether a wise person's demeanor is visibly radiant.
My heart is home to civil war
Expresses inner conflict or emotional turmoil within the speaker's heart.
I've run ten thousand times before
Indicates a history of fleeing or avoiding challenges or issues.
But I will not escape the pain this time
Acknowledges that the speaker cannot avoid experiencing pain this time.
I will have to stand and choose a side
Recognizes the necessity for the speaker to make a difficult choice.
It was so much easier before to just decide, but now
Compares the current decision-making process unfavorably to the past.
Love has wrecked me
States that the emotion of love has had a profound and negative impact on the speaker.
Love has torn me in two
Reiterates the divisive and painful nature of the impact of love.
Love has wrecked me, since I loved you
Emphasizes the enduring negative consequences of loving someone specific.
Give me the days when we were young
Expresses a desire for a return to the carefree days of youth.
Remind me of the songs we sung
Requests a reminder of the joyous moments from the past.
We listened to the wind go where it wanted, we couldn't contain it
Recalls a time when the speaker and others were free-spirited and unrestrained.
Our shadows stretched behind and couldn't catch us, our futures before us
Describes a time when the speaker's potential and future were limitless.
We can not return to youth this time
Acknowledges the impossibility of returning to the innocence of youth.
All the innocence we left behind
Reflects on the loss of innocence and the consequences of growing up.
I was so naive to think that I could ever hide, but now
Admits to the naivety of thinking that certain aspects of life could be concealed.
I cannot sleep, not day or night
Describes a state of restlessness and inability to find peace.
I cannot rest within this fight
Expresses an ongoing struggle or conflict that disturbs the speaker's rest.
This sinner's giving up tonight
Suggests a moment of surrender or resignation in the face of inner turmoil.
