Lyrics
You carried a burden of love and of loss
You bore the weight of love and loss
The greatest depression
Referring to a significant emotional downturn
And I felt it burn like the scars in your sleeve
I sensed the pain deeply, akin to visible scars on your arm
You'll never be more
You won't surpass being distant from me
Than a world away from me
Emphasizing the emotional gap between the speaker and the subject
I always saw you as the others did
I perceived you in the same way as others did
With ignorance
With ignorance or lack of understanding
And never really stepped inside your head
I never delved into your thoughts deeply
I felt no permanence
I didn't feel a lasting connection
A part of you
A component of yourself that you wished to erase
You wished you could forget
A desire to forget a part of one's life
But I guess that's life
Acceptance of life's complexities
And I'm sorry that I never really tried
An expression of regret for not making a genuine effort
I thought I'd had enough time
Believed there was ample time
But it's clear to me that things
Realization that things were not as they appeared
Were never really as they seemed
Perception that reality is like a waking dream
It's all just a waking dream
The unreality of life's experiences
Will we be remembered
Contemplation on whether one's legacy will endure
At the end of our days
Reflecting on being remembered at the end of life
Or like a sun-stricken image
Comparing life's impact to an image fading with time
Will it all fade away with time
The transitory nature of life
A vanishing life
Describing life as fleeting and disappearing
You carried a burden of love and of loss
Reiteration of carrying the weight of love and loss
The greatest depression
Reiteration of the reference to a significant emotional downturn
And I felt it burn like the scars in your sleeve
Reiteration of feeling the pain akin to visible scars
You'll never be more
Reiteration that the distance between won't change
Than a world away from me
Reiteration of emphasizing the emotional gap
You carried a burden of love and of loss
Reiteration of carrying the weight of love and loss
The greatest depression
Reiteration of the reference to a significant emotional downturn
And I felt it burn like the scars in your sleeve
Reiteration of feeling the pain akin to visible scars
You'll never be more
Reiteration that the distance between won't change
Than a world away
Reiteration of emphasizing the emotional gap
