Lyrics
I dreamed of you right there
I had a dream about you being present
Your voice caught in the air
Your voice lingered in the atmosphere
Lover, crying is such a waste
Addressing the lover, expressing that crying is futile
I could see our future ahead
Envisioning our future, entangled and lifeless
Tied up, twisted and dead
Describing a situation of being bound, distorted, and lifeless
Agony that swallows us again
Referring to the recurring pain and suffering engulfing them
Look my way and my life is over
Looking towards the lover signifies the end of life
I never learned
Admitting a lack of learning or understanding
To turn away
An acknowledgment of the struggle to turn away from something
I see no light in this shroud
Perceiving darkness and lack of hope
Held me down as I drowned
Feeling restrained and submerged, possibly by the lover
You're a habit I can't shake
The lover has become an irresistible habit
Lord, cast away our sin
Invoking a higher power to absolve their sins
We're as guilty as them
Acknowledging guilt and shared responsibility
There's no law that we won't break again
Indicating a willingness to break laws or boundaries again
Look my way and my life is over
Similar to line 9, looking at the lover results in the end of life
I never learned
Reiterating the lack of learning or ability to turn away
To turn away from you
A final admission of the difficulty in turning away from the lover
