Lyrics
We'll stay awake 'til I can't feel
We will remain awake until I lose the ability to feel.
My constant need for
Expressing a consistent longing for something.
These soft mangled dreams of mine
Referring to personal dreams that are delicate and distorted.
From when I've held on
Recalling a time when the speaker clung to something.
All I wanted you to see
Desire for someone to recognize or understand something specific.
The things you did to me
Alluding to actions or impact inflicted by the other person.
Your eyes are dead to me
Stating a sense of emotional detachment from the other person.
In the scheme of all your meanings
Reflecting on the significance within the context of the other person's intentions or actions.
It's hard to give it up
Expressing difficulty in letting go of something.
And we'll stay awake 'til I can't feel
Reiterating the commitment to staying awake until emotional numbness sets in.
My constant need
Reiterating a persistent need or desire.
These soft mangled dreams of mine
Referring again to fragile and distorted personal dreams.
From when I've held on
Recalling holding onto something from the past.
All I wanted you to see
Reiterating the desire for the other person to perceive or acknowledge something.
The things you did to me
Revisiting the impact of the other person's actions on the speaker.
Your eyes are dead to me
Emphasizing a sense of emotional distance due to the other person's actions.
In the scheme of all your meanings
Reflecting on the meaning or significance in the broader context of the other person's intentions.
It's hard to give it up
Reiterating the difficulty in relinquishing something.
Give up
Directly stating the act of giving up.
Give up
Repeating the explicit act of giving up.
Oh and we'll stay awake 'til I can't feel
Continuing the commitment to staying awake until emotional detachment occurs.
My constant need
Reaffirming a persistent need or desire.
These soft mangled dreams of mine
Repeating reference to delicate and distorted personal dreams.
From when I've held on
Recalling a past instance of holding onto something emotionally.
