Lyrics
The angels cry tonight
The celestial beings are expressing sorrow or anguish tonight.
As the rain washed that lonely place
The rain cleansed a desolate place, possibly representing a cleansing or purification.
From their eyes
Tears were wiped away by the rain from their eyes.
And softly as she said
A gentle statement was made.
You know our hearts will never get
A recognition that their emotions will always be deeply affected and will not be forgotten.
Out alive
The essence of one's heart will never truly fade away.
She made no sound
No audible expression was made.
Then goodbye
A farewell was silently communicated.
She said love don't call on me again
A request to cease expressing love again was stated.
I never want to cry like this
An aversion to experiencing such intense sorrow.
Die like this
Expressing a desire to not meet one's end in such a manner.
No more favors my old friend
A rejection of further kindness from a close companion.
I never want to cry like this
Similar to line 10, a refusal to endure such emotional pain.
Die like this
Reiteration of the rejection of dying or suffering in this way.
And so we danced alone
A portrayal of dancing alone, possibly symbolizing being surrounded by emotional pain.
But pain is always so betrayed
Recognition that pain is often felt deeply, even if concealed.
With our eyes
Despite attempts to conceal pain, it is evident in the eyes.
But I know now
A newfound understanding or realization.
On hearts the faithless can't rely
Hearts cannot depend on those who lack faith or loyalty.
Do reams make no sound
A question about whether dreams make any noise as they fade away.
As they die
Implies a silent departure or demise.
(chorus)
(Chorus)
Remember the nights
A recollection of nights spent by the river.
By the river side
No hidden truths or undisclosed actions during those nights.
No secrets from our sins
Despite their actions, the world did not come to an end.
And the world would not subside
A realization that the world continued despite their perceived significance.
And the worst thing
The most distressing realization.
Is knowing
Understanding that they will endure despite difficulties.
That ill survive
A realization that survival, despite pain, is the worst outcome.
