Rising from Shadows: Healing Wings of 'Dear X'
Lyrics
Oh I see your veins run cold
The speaker perceives a coldness or lack of warmth in the other person.
I felt your shadow try to drag me into the night
The speaker felt threatened or influenced by the negative aspects of the other person, as if their shadow (symbolic of darkness or negativity) was trying to pull the speaker into a negative situation or state.
And you know truth be told
Acknowledgment that the truth is being spoken; the other person made a mistake.
You crossed that wrong road
The other person chose a wrong path or made a mistake.
When you tried to steal my light
The other person attempted to take away the speaker's happiness or positivity.
And all these scars have finished bleeding

From the wounds deep in my back
Refers to emotional wounds or betrayal suffered from behind (metaphorically) by the other person.
And now my wings have grown I'm healing

And I'll never make the same mistake again

Mmm nah nah nah nah nah ohh

-Well look into the mirror for a sign
-And all these scars have finished bleeding
-From the wounds deep in my back
-And now my wings have grown I'm healing
-And I'll never make the same mistake again
-Mmm nah nah nah nah nah ohh
