Lyrics
When the day is done
As the day concludes
It's just you and I
Only you and I remain
This is our last dance
Describing the current moment as the final dance
One last fight
It's the last struggle or conflict
When there's blood on the stage
Symbolizing intense and serious situations or conflicts
Could you face your fears?
Questioning whether one can confront their fears
It all ends here
Everything concludes or culminates here
The minutes the hours
Reflecting on the passage of time, moments, and years
Days and years
Referring to the accumulation of time
What you want?
What do you desire or seek?
Can you give me a sign?
Can you show or indicate something to me?
Or give me your current state of mind?
Or share your current state of mind with me?
Old friend it's been a while
Addressing a long-lost friend
We're just prisoners of this life
Expressing being trapped or confined by life's circumstances
Just prisoners
Reiterating the feeling of being captivated
We're just prisoners in this life
Emphasizing the theme of imprisonment in life
Though it won't be for long
Implies a temporary nature of the imprisonment
We're just prisoners
Reiterating the sense of being confined
In dusty halls
Depicting various environments, suggesting confinement in different places
To the hollow shopping malls
Referencing places that symbolize modern life's emptiness
To the endless rows of English roses
Describing an abundance of something ordinary or typical
If you've got to believe in someone
Advice to place trust or belief in someone other than the speaker
Don't make that person me
Requesting not to be the recipient of that trust or belief
If you've got to let go of something
Encouraging letting go of the speaker
Then let go of me
Asking to release any attachment to the speaker
And last night I dreamt
Recalling a dream where innocence was experienced
I was sent to a place of innocence
Reflecting on a past state of purity or simplicity
Hello old friend
Greeting an old friend in the dream
We can't pretend
Acknowledging the inability to pretend or feign
We're not prisoner of this life
Contrasting the earlier assertion of being prisoners
Just prisoners
Repeating the sentiment of being captives
We're just prisoners of these times
Reiterating the temporary nature of the imprisonment
Although it won't be for long
Emphasizing the transient aspect of feeling imprisoned
We're just just prisoners
Reiterating the feeling of being captivated
Hello old friend
Continuing the conversation with the old friend
It's been a while
Noting the passage of time since the last interaction
It's me again
Reiterating the imprisonment in the current circumstances
We're just prisoners of these times
Stating the situation of being prisoners, albeit temporarily
But it won't be for long
Reiterating the temporary nature of the imprisonment
Won't be long
Reiterating the belief that the confinement is temporary
Won't be long
Emphasizing the belief that the imprisonment won't endure
