Lyrics

How much we tried, but how we hurt?

Reflecting on efforts made and the resulting emotional pain.

In this empty space, in which we live

Describing a sense of emptiness in the current environment.

We will not have, we will not give

Expressing a lack of possession and unwillingness to contribute.

We're waiting for one raising kiss

Awaiting a significant, uplifting moment or gesture.


It's so clear, but we can't see it

Acknowledging clarity, yet unable to perceive or understand it.

It's in the air that we breathe in

Highlighting an intangible quality present in the surrounding atmosphere.

It's so near, but we can't touch it

Expressing proximity to something desirable but beyond reach.

But it is here, and we love it

Affirming the presence of the desired element and expressing love for it.

For life is good, and it's forever

Stating the goodness of life and its enduring nature.

It's in our blood, and our endeavor

Asserting the intrinsic connection of the desirable element to life and effort.


Higher than the sky, taller than a man can reach

Describing the elevated nature of the desirable element, surpassing human reach.

And if we break up, we are not here

Suggesting that separation negates the presence of the desirable element.

These are the times in which we live

Commenting on the current era or circumstances of existence.

Higher than the sky, taller than a man can reach

Reiterating the elevated and unreachable quality of the desirable element.

And if we break up, we are not here

Reiterating the impact of separation on the presence of the desirable element.

These are the times in which we live

Reiterating the reflection on the contemporary times.

Higher than the sky, taller than a man can reach

Emphasizing the elevated nature of the desirable element and its absence upon separation.

And if we break up, we are not here

Repeating the impact of separation on the presence of the desirable element.

These are the times in which we live

Repeating the commentary on the current era or circumstances of existence.


It's so clear, but we can't see it

Reiterating the clarity that is elusive to perception.

It's in the air that we breathe in

Reiterating the intangible quality present in the surrounding atmosphere.

It's so near, but we can't touch it

Reiterating the proximity to something desirable but beyond touch.

But it is here, and we love it

Affirming the continued presence and love for the desirable element.

For life is good, and it is special

Reaffirming the positivity of life and highlighting its special nature.

I want more precious metal

Expressing a desire for more valuable and significant experiences.

It's not over, and it's not hopeful

Asserting the ongoing nature of the situation and maintaining a lack of hope.

For this is light and it's immortal

Affirming the enduring and immortal quality of light in this context.
