Lyrics

Stood together in an open field

Expressing unity and connection in an open space.

And share the secrets of the night reveal

Sharing intimate truths during the night.

Then we chase the light

Chasing after illumination or understanding.

Racing through the sky

Swiftly moving through life's experiences.


Can we untangle guilt and innocence

Exploring the complexity of distinguishing between guilt and innocence.

How hard we torture this ambivalence

Highlighting the difficulty of dealing with conflicting feelings.

Night will bring no dawn

Suggesting a sense of darkness and uncertainty in the night.

Where's the power gone

Questioning the loss of control or influence.


For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping

Symbolizing betrayal by stealing dreams during vulnerability.

And sell them for dust and cheap lust

Reducing dreams to trivial and insincere pursuits.

And I'll turn your hope while you are weeping

Manipulating hope during moments of sorrow.

And cover your eyes with sad lies and dark skies

Concealing reality with false narratives and a gloomy atmosphere.


Come closer to me on your hands and knees

Inviting intimacy and vulnerability in a humble manner.

Alone when your will's gone

Being alone when one's determination or strength falters.

How much is not enough how much is through

Questioning the adequacy of what has been experienced or achieved.

How long will I be getting over you

Reflecting on the duration of overcoming a past connection.

How much grief and sin

Pondering the extent of sorrow and wrongdoing.

Till the heart caves in

Expressing a threshold of emotional pain leading to collapse.

Till the heart caves in

Reiterating the idea of reaching an emotional breaking point.

Till the heart caves in

Emphasizing the inevitability of emotional collapse.
