Lyrics
He came out of nowhere like an angel before my eyes
Unexpectedly appeared like an angel in front of me
He was a mystery
His identity was mysterious
But a devil in disguise played me like a maestro but I was locked inside my mind
Deceptive, manipulated me like a conductor, while I was trapped in my thoughts
Perched like a raven
Symbolically perched like a raven
Nevermore will you be mine
Using "Nevermore" from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," indicating the end of their relationship
Nevermore
Reiteration of the finality of the relationship
So sick inside
Feeling unwell emotionally
This raven will fly
The emotional pain is compared to a raven that will eventually depart
Twisted alive
Mentally distorted and alive with emotional turmoil
Now I can see right through you
Can now see through the deception
Before the lights crawled out your mouth Beware of casting stones
Reference to a deceptive person revealing their true nature
When you live in a glass house
Advising against judgment when one is also vulnerable
Through all of your drama you've blackened my tell-tale heart
Accusation of causing pain similar to the narrative in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart"
I've never felt so empty
Feeling emotionally vacant
Wish we could go back to the start
Expressing a desire to go back to the beginning of the relationship
Fuck that
Strong rejection of the idea
Nevermore
Reaffirmation of the finality of the relationship
So sick inside
Continued emotional distress
This raven will fly
The raven symbolizing emotional pain will eventually leave
Twisted alive
Mentally distorted and alive with emotional turmoil (repeated)
All bloody and broken
Describing a state of being physically harmed and emotionally wounded
I slowly crawled out of that grave
Emerging from a difficult situation, possibly a failed relationship
I was done thinking captive and that love could not be saved
Realization that captivity and love's difficulties can be overcome
So I've patched up my wings
Metaphorically repairing oneself
And I'm re-learning how to fly
Recovering and learning to live again
Free like a raven
Feeling liberated and unrestrained
I'm going to black out the whole sky
Expressing a desire to overcome challenges and dominate life
FOREVER MORE
Emphasizing the enduring nature of this newfound freedom
So sick inside
Continued emotional distress (repeated)
This Raven will fly
Reiteration of the raven departing, symbolizing the end of emotional pain (repeated)
Twisted alive
Mentally distorted and alive with emotional turmoil (repeated)
I'm gonna fly
Expressing a determination to move forward and leave the past behind
