Lyrics
Wait
Expressing a sense of urgency or anticipation
Don't go
Requesting someone not to leave
I've been walking through these woods shivering in these new clothes
Describing a journey through difficulties in new circumstances
And I
Expressing personal desire or intention
I wanted to see
Expressing a wish to perceive the world differently
The world through eyes
Reflecting on a desire to see the world through one's own perspective
But they were never meant for me
Realizing that personal perspectives may not align with the world
It was placed just right, to catch the eyes
Describing a situation strategically set to attract attention
we waited completely naked
Waiting vulnerably or exposed
But never underestimate the lie, that kind
Warning against underestimating destructive lies
that breaks it, the whole life that you tasted
Recognizing the impact of a particular kind of lie on one's life
I thought I heard her say
Recalling a statement or expression from someone else
I don't want to go
Expressing reluctance to leave
But the words hurt more than I thought through
Acknowledging the emotional impact of words
And nothing leaves you quite as cold
Highlighting the chilling effect of certain experiences
As my father's back turned on me
Describing a moment of emotional abandonment by a father
When you take someone down the garden path
Warning about leading someone astray
You take someone for all they have
Pointing out the potential harm in taking advantage of someone
And death
Viewing death as a concept
Was only a word
Emphasizing the significance of death to a jealous heart
But to a jealous heart that has made its plans
Describing plans made by a jealous heart
It was the soil that gave it birth
Attributing birth to negative emotions and plans
And the sun it's light there on me
Describing a moment of realization or enlightenment
Shone through the clouds and upon my feet
Experiencing illumination despite difficulties
To the ground that we chose as a door to leave
Choosing a difficult path as an exit
Die for one man
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice for someone
I was so in love, I was just so young and so in love
Recalling a past intense love
How could I say no to the hand that was built for me
Feeling obligated to accept a predetermined fate or relationship
I saw it so clear, like the first day you laughed or said my name
Remembering a moment of clarity in a relationship
I couldn't say no, but we both know, we both know
Acknowledging an inability to refuse a predetermined path
We would have been changed like the days of our lives
Anticipating transformation or change in a relationship
(The illusion was ours, it was joy it was rapture)
Reflecting on the illusory nature of joy and rapture
Oh this place is a hell with its death and goodbyes
Describing a challenging or painful environment
And you can't stop yourself when you're dreaming of days
Conveying a lack of control in dreams
But these pieces will fade until there's only this place
Highlighting the inevitable fading of certain experiences
.
Empty line, possibly indicating a pause for emphasis
In this world that's to come, it's only the fear
Contemplating fear in an impending world
Was there ever a moment, just a moment the truth could touch our lips
Pondering on moments when truth could have been expressed
Would it have mattered, the harvest will come
Questioning the significance of alternate choices in relationships
If I would have chosen another, it would have meant I loved him more than you
Exploring the idea of love and commitment
