Lyrics
It's not found in throwing roses on a grave
The true meaning is not found in the symbolic act of throwing roses on a grave.
Or in the cursed bottom of a bottled plague
It's not found in the depths of a cursed, alcoholic state.
It wasn't in the torment that will never fade
The meaning doesn't lie in enduring torment that will never diminish.
But I see the truth now
The realization dawns that the genuine truth is seen now.
This was my Hell living without You here
The speaker describes their personal hell as living without a significant person, likely referring to a loved one or a higher power.
Even Heaven is Hell if somehow You were not there
Even in heaven, it would feel like hell if the mentioned person is absent.
If You were not there
Reiterating the importance of the presence of the person in heaven.
It wasn't in the flames that won't stop burning
The true meaning isn't in unending flames.
Or within a fire that is never quenched
It's not within an eternal, unquenchable fire.
It wasn't in the brokenness of all my failings
The real meaning isn't in the shattered state resulting from personal failures.
But I see the truth now
The speaker has now realized the genuine truth.
This was my Hell living without You here
Reiterating the personal hell of living without the mentioned person.
Even Heaven is Hell if somehow You were not there
Even heaven becomes hell without the presence of the person.
Lord, I need to breathe You
An expression of a deep need for the presence of the divine or the loved one.
Drink You, dream You
Desiring to absorb, experience, and envision the significant person.
Nothing ever will compare
Nothing else can compare to the importance of the person.
Need to breathe You, drink You
Reiteration of the intense need to be connected with the person.
Dream You, need You
Emphasizing the dependency on and longing for the person.
This was my Hell living without You
Repeating the idea that living without the person is a personal hell.
(when You're so far away)
Highlighting the distance that intensifies the feeling of hell.
Even Heaven is Hell if Heaven's without You
Even heaven becomes hell if the person is absent.
(when You're so far away from me)
Reiterating the anguish of being far away from the significant person.
Everything's Hell if somehow You're not there
Concluding that everything feels like hell in the absence of the person.
