Lyrics
Honesty, is better than putting you to sleep.
Honesty is preferable to deceiving or avoiding the truth.
No one ever told me how many nights it would take to make it right.
No one informed me of the duration it would take to reconcile and make things right.
You're on your own now.
The listener is now alone, possibly indicating a sense of abandonment or independence.
And I hate the way you makes things complicated.
Expressing dislike for how someone complicates things.
No matter where you are
Regardless of your location,
I will be the one that
The speaker promises to be the support, catching you in times of trouble.
Catches you when you fall.
Continuation of the commitment to provide assistance and support.
You wanted me to stay
The speaker was asked to stay,
But you're the one
Yet the person who requested the stay is the one who left.
Who went away
The speaker emphasizes the departure of the requester and their own departure.
And I'm already gone.
The speaker feels emotionally detached, already moved on.
It's the same day I left you,
Referring to a specific day of departure,
The scenery is now a wreckage.
The environment is now damaged or ruined.
And all I remember is how to follow.
The speaker's memory is focused on following, possibly indicating a sense of directionlessness.
If we all settle down,
If everyone takes a moment to reflect,
Just for a minute and think.
There might be a chance for clarity or resolution.
Maybe we're just giving ourselves out
Suggesting a possibility that individuals are giving themselves away to destructive forces.
'To broken hearts, city stars,
Mentioning various elements, possibly symbolizing complexities and challenges in life.
Starts and stops, over and over agains.'
Repetition of challenges or struggles.
Till I feel my heart in tact.
Expressing a desire to feel emotionally whole again.
Beats and rests and this is only a test,
Referring to the rhythm of life, with beats and rests, as a test.
For You.
This test is for someone specific.
To realize how far we've been.
A realization of the distance covered over time.
No one could tear us apart way back when.
Recalling a time when nothing could separate the speaker and someone else.
Twenty more years till I feel my heart in tact.
A repetition of the desire to feel emotionally whole, indicating a prolonged struggle.
Twenty more years till I feel my heart attack.
The anticipation or fear of a heart attack, possibly metaphorical for emotional distress.
