Lyrics
I could walk into the sea
The speaker contemplates walking into the sea.
And choke away the memory
Expresses a desire to forget painful memories.
Do I have to stay alive
Questioning the necessity of staying alive.
Just to keep our dresses white?
Wondering if life's challenges are worth preserving innocence ("dresses white").
You come to me in dreams
The person appears in the speaker's dreams along with other beautiful things.
With all the other pretty things
The allure of beauty in the dream context.
You tell me about a Savior
Reference to someone talking about a Savior (possibly religious or redemptive themes).
And how the soul lives on forever
Belief in the eternal nature of the soul.
And time is just a hunger
Time is described as a hunger, consuming and depleting.
It bleeds us out to nothing
Time's destructive nature, leading to nothingness.
And when it finally takes us over
Anticipation of being taken over by time.
I hope we'll float away together
Hope for a shared transcendence as time consumes.
Yeah, time's the great destroyer
Time is portrayed as a powerful force that destroys.
Leaves every child a bastard
Impact of time on innocence, possibly referring to the harsh realities it brings.
When it finally takes us over
Reiteration of the anticipation of being consumed by time.
I hope we'll float away together
Reiteration of the hope for shared transcendence despite the destructive nature of time.
Ooooh (etc)
Ooooh (etc) - Possibly a musical interlude or emotional expression without specific lyrics.
