Lyrics

Plans, we make plans, draw to last, carve in sand

Plans are made, but they are impermanent, subject to change and erosion.

They drift and mutate. Our union of ache

The shared pain between individuals evolves and transforms.

Love has its law. There is truth but it's flawed

Love has its own rules, though they may not always align with absolute truth.

Possession to lose, possession to lose

The struggle of losing possessions, both tangible and intangible.

All I know is my truth

Emphasizing personal truth amidst uncertainties.

Fire and rain renewed

Symbolic elements of destruction and renewal through fire and rain.

Harm, we cause harm, we hold on, grip and claw

Acknowledging the harm caused in relationships, marked by a tight grip and emotional struggle.

The tightening knot, The loosening bond

The paradox of a tightening knot and a loosening bond in relationships.

Who has the keys? Was it you? Was it me?

Uncertainty about who holds the keys to the relationship and its future.

The warden isn't dead

The authority figure or guardian is still present, not allowing complete freedom.

Stop messing with my head

A plea to stop causing mental distress.

All we know is our truth

Emphasizing personal truth in the face of uncertainty and challenges.

Fire and rain, golden and brave youth

Continuation of the theme of fire and rain, symbolizing passion and bravery in youth.

I won't be afraid

Expressing a determination not to succumb to fear.

Won't be envious or cold

Commitment to avoid envy and emotional coldness.

Yearning for the world controlling you

A desire for independence and not wanting to control the other person.

I don't want to own each piece of you

Rejecting the idea of owning every aspect of the other person.

As long as you come home

Acceptance of the partner as long as they return home.

As long as you aren't loyal but true

Value placed on loyalty over blind adherence to expectations.

Tell me what you want to do

Seeking clarity on the partner's desires and intentions.

Tell me where you want to go

Asking about the preferred direction or destination in the relationship.

My one unbridled coup

A metaphorical and unrestrained action or achievement in the relationship.

I'll burn alive for you

A willingness to endure intense emotions and challenges for the sake of love.

I'll burn alive for you

Reiteration of the willingness to endure difficulties for love.

My fire, my youth

Possessiveness over one's own passion and youth.
