When The Lights Are Out
Echoes of Forbidden Love: When The Lights Are Out
Lyrics
When I see you
Expressing a reaction upon seeing the person addressed.
I fall and I cannot get up again
Describing a feeling of falling and inability to recover emotionally.
On the stone-cold ground in your nowhere town
Feeling stranded or lost in a place with a bleak atmosphere.
Snowflakes fall in the frozen air
Observing snowfall in a cold and desolate environment.
There's a ghost in the walls but I just don't care
Noticing a presence (possibly emotional baggage) but choosing not to be affected.
When we're alone and the lights are out
Describing a situation of intimacy when the surroundings are dark.
When we're alone and the lights are out
-I should have known better
Expressing regret or acknowledging a mistake in judgment.
When I am with you
Highlighting the positive impact of being with the person addressed.
I forget what it's like to be alone
Forgetting the feeling of loneliness when in the company of the person.
Let it all burn out till the smoke runs out
Suggesting a willingness to endure difficulties until they are resolved.
It takes you back to your barren rage
Referring to an emotional journey that brings back past struggles.
There's a wolf in the room but I won't get scared
Not succumbing to fear despite the presence of a challenging situation or person.
When we're alone and the lights are out
Reiterating the theme of intimacy in the dark, with a hint of emotional detachment.
When you pull me close, then you cut me out
-When we're alone and the lights are out
Repeating the idea of intimacy in the dark, highlighting the cyclical nature of the emotional experience.
When you pull me close, then you cut me out
-I should have known better
Acknowledging a realization or lesson learned, possibly related to the mentioned regret.
