Lyrics

There was no way out

Feeling trapped with no escape

The only way out was to give in

Accepting surrender as the only solution

When there's no way out

Reiteration of being stuck with no apparent exit

The only way out is to give in

Emphasizing that yielding is the only way out


How I love to

Expressing a preference or inclination for giving in

How I love to

-

How I love to give in

-

Here, no one sleeps

Describing a situation where rest is elusive, alternating between individuals

One lays up while the other lies down

-

Where no one sleeps

-

One lays up while the other lies down

-

Ask the line on your face

Reflecting on the difficulty of foreseeing upcoming events

What the line on your hand meant

-

We, we couldn't see what was coming

-

Shake your head, it's empty

Encouraging physical expression to distract from emptiness

Shake your hips, move your feet

-

Shake your head, it's empty

-

Shake your hips, move your feet

-

Shake your head, it's empty

Repetition emphasizing the emptiness to be shaken off

Shake your head, it's empty

-

Shake your head, it's empty

-

Shake your head, it's empty

-

I'm so glad that I'm an island

Expressing satisfaction in being emotionally self-sufficient

I'm so glad that I'm an island

-

I'm so glad that I'm an island now

-

Ba, ba, da, da

Repetitive vocalizations, possibly representing isolation or detachment

Ba, ba, da, da

-

Ba, ba, da, da

-

Ba, ba, da, da

-

Ba, ba, da, da

-

Ba, ba, da, da

-

Sickness was fixing me some

Describing a past period of illness and emotional detachment, now not missed

Coughed out my heart in the last stall

-

Now that the damage is done

-

I never miss it at all
