Lyrics
Wake up, my love
Expression of affection, waking someone up gently.
Today I heard some bad news
Acknowledging receipt of distressing information.
Just what are we all supposed to do?
Raising a question about the collective response to the bad news.
I won't let them get to you
Commitment to protect the loved one from the impact of the news.
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
Expressing a reluctance to be alone.
I can't face the night like I used to before
Conveying difficulty in facing the night, suggesting emotional challenges.
Take my well worn hand
Invitation to join hands, a gesture of unity or support.
Let's lock ourselves away
Suggesting seclusion as a response to difficulties.
We'll never, ever step outside
Commitment to staying isolated, avoiding external influences.
We'll curl up in a ball and hide
Desire to retreat and shield oneself from the world.
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
Reiteration of the aversion to solitude.
I can't face the night like I used to before
Continued struggle with nighttime, possibly representing inner turmoil.
I don't want to go out on my own anymore
Repetition of the reluctance to be alone.
I can't face the night like I used to before
Reiterated difficulty in facing the night.
I'm so sorry for the things that they've done
Apology for the negative actions of others, expressing empathy.
I'm so sorry about what we've all become
Apology for the collective state or behavior of a group.
