Lyrics
Ever noticed how our roles have changed?
Observation of a change in roles within a relationship.
From what I gather anyway,
Expressing uncertainty about the observed change.
Hear me, hear me - punished for silence,
Calling attention to being punished for keeping silent.
Hear me, hear me - should I die down?
Questioning whether the silence should continue even to the point of death.
I'll push aside this fear you left me,
Committing to overcoming the fear left by the other person.
I'll burn the signs in secrecy,
Symbolic act of erasing the signs or traces of the past in secret.
You light the sky, with tragic beauty,
Acknowledging the other person's impact on life, describing it as tragically beautiful.
Now drown it all, in sacred sea,
Metaphorically suggesting a need to submerge or overcome everything in a sacred sea.
Ever noticed how our roles have changed?
Reiteration of the observation about changing roles.
From what I gather anyway,
Repeating uncertainty about the observed change.
Hear me, hear me - punished for silence,
Repeating the theme of being punished for silence.
Hear me, hear me - should I die down?
Reiterating the contemplation of silence leading to death.
I'll push aside this fear you left me,
Recommitting to overcoming the fear left by the other person.
I'll burn the signs in secrecy,
Reiterating the symbolic act of erasing signs in secrecy.
You light the sky, with tragic beauty,
Reaffirming the acknowledgment of the other person's impact.
Now drown it all, in sacred sea,
Reiterating the metaphor of submerging everything in a sacred sea.
