This Tangled Web
Unraveling the Threads of Love and Despair
Lyrics
For caring is a breeze that blows by
Expresses how the act of caring is fleeting and unpredictable.
And returns only when, only when it wants to
Love or care returns sporadically and not always when desired.
So cry, cry little angel forever because

You can't wrap your arms around the wind
Expresses the inability to fully grasp or control intangible aspects like love or emotions.
Within lie the reasons for
Suggests that the reasons for life's complexities are contained within.
This tangled web we weave
Highlights the complexity and intricacies of life's challenges and deceptions.
For love at once my shield and terror

Destination and cause for living today
Love becomes the reason to live presently but may lead to thoughts of wanting to end life in the future.
And wanting to die tomorrow

In my face you see the torture lines from days gone by
Physical appearance bears the marks of internal struggles and emotional pain.
But I was never touched these scars have risen from within me.

For memory take a knife it's quicker
Implies that erasing memories would be easier if it were possible.
Plunge it deep into my soul

Go ahead make me a weaker man
Willingness to become emotionally vulnerable, yielding to weakness.
And cry, cry little angel because
A continuation of encouraging perpetual grieving or sorrow.
You can't wrap your arms around the wind
Reiterates the inability to fully comprehend intangible aspects like emotions.
Within lie the reasons for
