Lyrics
I’m gonna build myself a castle
I aspire to create a secure and personal space for myself.
Where I can bury all my dreams
This castle will serve as a burial ground for my unfulfilled aspirations.
Nothing is forever as it seems
The transient nature of things contrasts with their apparent permanence.
I’m gonna build myself a castle
Reiteration of the desire to construct a personal refuge.
Where I can put myself to rest
This castle will be a place for me to find peace and solace.
Where I’ll recover from the past
A place where I can heal from the wounds of the past.
And I’ll be dancing with the dead
Implies a desire to embrace the afterlife, dancing with departed souls.
I’m gonna turn myself to darkness
Expresses a longing to immerse oneself in darkness and solitude.
Where I can shed a lonely tear
Acknowledging and shedding tears before facing a new day.
Before the sun goes up I’ll disappear
The intention to vanish before the sunrise.
I’m gonna turn myself to darkness
A continuation of the desire to be engulfed by darkness.
Where I will suffer from the pain
An acceptance of suffering and pain in this darkened state.
And I will step inside my casket
Entering a metaphorical casket to avoid confronting reality.
Where I’ll refuse to see the day
A refusal to face the challenges of a new day.
Long is the night
Highlighting the prolonged duration of the night.
I am waiting for you to arrive
An anticipation for someone's arrival during the extended night.
Lonely with all my desires
Expressing loneliness amidst unfulfilled desires.
I am dying to feel alive
A yearning to experience the feeling of being alive.
I long for the night
A repeated desire for the night to come.
I am waiting for you to arrive
Anticipation for the arrival of a significant other.
I long for the night
Reiteration of the longing for the night.
Need a bit of your love to survive
Expressing the need for love to sustain oneself.
I did not die, yet I lost my life’s breath
A paradoxical statement indicating a loss without physical death.
Follow me and we’ll dance with the dead
Invitation to join in a dance with the departed.
Only tonight
Restricting the invitation to tonight only.
Let me survive
A plea to survive through the night.
Give me your life
A request for the sustenance of life from someone else.
