Lyrics
It's christmas again so we lit all the candles
Observing the Christmas season, symbolized by lighting candles.
And we tried to pretend that your room was a palace
Pretending that a room is grand or special.
But we can't seem to shake off the fear
Struggling to overcome a lingering sense of fear.
That nothing is different, that no-one has changed
Fear that nothing has changed, no personal growth or transformation.
Nothing has changed
Emphasizing the perception that nothing has indeed changed.
I stand by my lover as she stands by me
Commitment and mutual support in a romantic relationship.
Chained to my lover as she's chained to me
Describing a strong, interdependent connection in the relationship.
We've been trough the past and the pain
Reflecting on past challenges and emotional pain.
The love that was lost
Recalling lost love experiences.
And we know all the answers
Claiming to possess all the answers to life's questions.
We've taken all our chances and let them drift by
Regretting missed opportunities and chances in the past.
It's time to be free yeah it's time to be free
Expressing the need for freedom and a new beginning.
Standing so close I can't see you at all
Feeling emotionally distant despite physical proximity.
I stand by my lover as she stands by me
Reiterating commitment and support in the relationship.
Chained to my lover as she's chained to me
Describing the strong, unbreakable connection between partners.
But your books don't say much about
Commenting on the limitations of conventional wisdom or advice.
Living your life like a thief
Suggesting a non-conventional approach to life, perhaps living outside societal norms.
Yeah we've handcuffed and chained
Describing a relationship with constraints and games.
We play games and play them out slowly
Playing games slowly, possibly indicating a cautious approach to relationships.
Chained to my lover as she's chained to me
Emphasizing the strong connection and interdependence in the relationship.
Chained to my lover as she's chained to me
Repeating the theme of being tightly bound to a partner.
Chained to my lover as she's chained to me
Continuing to express the idea of being bound or chained in the relationship.
Chained to my lover as she's chained to me
Repeating the imagery of being chained to a lover, reinforcing the theme.
