Lyrics
Release my gaze
Desiring to break eye contact or let go of a fixation.
You know it's coming easy
Anticipating something to happen effortlessly or naturally.
I let you decide
Granting the other person the power to choose or decide.
Those playful words
Initially light-hearted words now causing deeper emotional harm.
Now they're cutting deeper
Questioning if emotions have become dulled or desensitized.
Are we numb inside?
Reflecting on the possibility of being emotionally numb.
Open these gates
Inviting for emotional vulnerability or openness.
Substance without a reason
Having substance or significance without a clear cause or purpose.
We used to be safe
Nostalgic reminiscence of a past where safety, charm, and sanity existed.
We used to be
-We used to be
-Charming old days
-But your beauty's gone out of season
-We used to be sane
-We used to be
-We used to be
-Repeat and fade
Implying a repetition that fades away or ends.
I never made it easy
Making things difficult or not straightforward.
To be on my side
Encouraging someone to take your side or support you.
Fall on that sword
Being willing to take responsibility or face consequences.
My precious kamikaze
A metaphor for someone important who might cause self-destruction.
Or have one last try
Considering giving something one final attempt.
Open these gates
Repetition of the longing for a past sense of safety and sanity.
Substance without a reason
-We used to be safe
-We used to be
-We used to be
-Wasted champagne
Metaphorical reference to extravagance being outdated or irrelevant now.
The party's gone
-It's out of season
-We used to be sane
-We used to be
-We used to be
-Preachers disappeared
Noticing the absence of influential figures without causing sorrow.
But nobody's crying
Observing a lack of emotional response despite distance.
Far away from here
Recognizing aging or maturing away from a particular place or state.
He gets older
Someone aging and becoming reliant or resting on another person.
Falling asleep on my shoulder
-Open this gate
Reiteration of the longing for a past sense of safety, sanity, and relevance.
Substance without a reason
-We used to be safe
-We used to be
-We used to be
-Wasted champagne
-The party's gone
-It's out of season
-We used to be sane
-We used to be
-We used to be
