Lyrics
There was a time my world belonged with you
Expressing a past time when the speaker's world revolved around someone.
But I was so misguided in my youth
Admitting to past mistakes and misguided decisions during youth.
I couldn't help but drink this poison brew
Acknowledging the consumption of a metaphorical poison, possibly a harmful influence or decision.
You had a strange perception of the truth
Noting that the person the speaker was with had a distorted view of reality.
Oh, baby, I remember you
Recalling memories of the person addressed as "baby."
Oh, baby, I remember you
-'Cause your heart is cold
Describing the person's emotional state as cold-hearted.
And your blood runs dry
Emphasizing emotional detachment, suggesting a lack of empathy or warmth.
You'll never see or hear the crashing of the sea
Imagery depicting an inability to appreciate natural beauty and harmony due to emotional numbness.
The tempers rise, that stops all time
-When lovers eyes are locked in harmony
-I was aware that danger lay ahead
Awareness of potential danger or challenges in the future.
And I couldn't bare this stranger in my head
Expressing discomfort with a stranger in the speaker's thoughts or mind.
Have you got a face (have you got a face), have you got a soul
Questioning the existence of essential human qualities (face and soul) in someone.
Well, he ain't got nothing, not even a hole
-I gave a try a long time ago
Reflecting on a past attempt to change the course of fate, despite not knowing the outcome.
When your fate was designed, but you didn't know
-Oh baby, I remember you
Recalling memories of the addressed person, emphasizing a connection.
'Cause your heart is cold
Reiteration of the emotional coldness and emotional numbness, blocking sensory experiences.
And your blood runs dry
-You'll never see or hear the crashing of the sea
-The tempers rise, that stops all time
Portraying the inability to experience the beauty of the sea and harmony due to emotional barriers.
When lovers eyes are locked in harmony
-'Cause your heart is cold
Repetition of the emotional state and the resulting inability to sense the crashing of the sea.
And your blood runs dry
-You'll never hear or feel the crashing of the sea
-The tempers rise, that stops all time
Reiteration of the impact of emotional coldness on the perception of lovers' eyes locked in harmony.
When lovers eyes are locked in harmony
