Lyrics
Were all those years just wasted time?
Reflecting on whether the past years were time wasted.
Staying on my mind like yesterday's wine
The memories linger, reminiscent of yesterday's wine.
You placed a hand and turned a cheek
Reference to a gesture of avoidance or dismissal.
That carnival of ashes out on the street
Describing a chaotic scene resembling a carnival of ashes.
Just because I say it, it doesn't make it true,
A statement acknowledging that verbal expression doesn't guarantee truth.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you.
Expressing skepticism about the impact of praising or celebrating.
Just because I want you, I can't push it through.
Acknowledging the inability to force desired outcomes.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe y
Reiteration of skepticism regarding the effectiveness of praise.
The air turned dry the days got still
Describing a change in the atmosphere and a sense of stillness.
I'm Thinking about you against my will
Struggling with involuntary thoughts about someone.
You're Playing out like an endless song
Comparing the person to an endless, possibly repetitive, song.
Like the last fading star that Tries to shine on
Symbolic reference to a fading star attempting to shine.
Just because I say it, it doesn't make it true,
Reiteration that spoken words do not necessarily represent truth.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you.
Repeat of skepticism about the impact of praising.
Just because I want you, I can't push it through.
Reiteration of the inability to make desired things happen.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you
Reiteration of skepticism regarding the effectiveness of praise.
Soft as glass and black as mud
Describing qualities of fragility and darkness in a relationship.
My love for you never felt as it should
Expressing a sense that love may not have been genuine or fulfilling.
You kept the gold and my precious things
Referring to the retention of material possessions but emotional loss.
But you left me the rain clouds and these heavy wings
Symbolizing emotional burdens after a departure.
Just because I say it, it doesn't make it true,
Reiteration that spoken words don't necessarily convey truth.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you.
Repeating skepticism about the impact of celebrating or praising.
Just because I want you, I can't push it through.
Reiteration of the inability to force desired outcomes.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you
Reiteration of skepticism regarding the effectiveness of praise.
