Lyrics
Maybe it's bricks and mortar now, whether or not they run it down
There's a possibility it's about permanence, even if someone tries to destroy it
I don't want anything to shake that shape away
Desire to maintain a certain form or state, resisting any disturbances
No one told us which way to come, nobody mapped oblivion
Feeling lost or directionless, no guidance about facing the unknown
So I go growing roses in disarray
Creating beauty amidst chaos or disorder
Just like most, falling head in
Like others, falling deeply into something
'Til my ghost fills the bed in
Continuing to inhabit a space emotionally even after leaving physically
So lift it up like a banner
Elevating something significant, making it noticeable and important
Hold it up over me
Wanting something significant to be present and influential in one's life
If this war is never ending
Reference to a prolonged conflict or struggle
I'll take this love down with me
Choosing to carry love despite ongoing difficulties
Like a banner
Repetition emphasizing the importance of the symbol being lifted up
I don't need fate to give it time, it doesn't toke pain to change your
Not relying on fate for timing, change doesn't always require pain
Mind no weapon con sever the soul from me not the sorceress, not the money
No external force can separate one's essence or identity
All my cleverness, all my cunning so lift up like a banner
Emphasizing the symbolic act of elevation as a significant gesture
Hold it up over me if this war is never ending
Reiteration of wanting something important to remain present
I'll take this love down with me
Commitment to carrying love through difficulties
Like a banner
Repeated emphasis on the symbolic importance of the banner
It's around me in my surroundings
Feeling surrounded or encompassed by something
It counts me when it starts the counting
Feeling acknowledged or recognized when being assessed or counted
In the chaos there is a standard
Amidst disorder, there's something used as a measure or guiding principle
I'm carrying it like a banner
Personally taking on the responsibility of carrying this important symbol
So lift it up like a banner
Repeated emphasis on the act of lifting something significant
Hold it up over me
Desire for something important to be upheld over oneself
If this war is never ending
Reference to enduring conflicts or struggles
I'll take this love down with me
Willingness to carry love despite ongoing challenges
