Lyrics
From the tidal waves that scream she comes through,
Symbolic description of a powerful force approaching with intensity.
The woman in white riding the sky.
Imagery of a mysterious woman in white riding the sky, indicating a supernatural presence.
Laid me down on hallowed ground,
The act of being placed on sacred ground, possibly implying a ritual or significant event.
Gave her chains to me,
Transfer of metaphorical chains, suggesting a connection or bond being established.
Places I've never seen, Things I've never been.
Reference to unexplored places and unfamiliar experiences.
Give yourself to me, haunted by her effigy,
Call to surrender to a haunting presence, haunted by the woman's representation.
Bearing down on me, blinded by her legacy
Feeling overwhelmed by the enduring impact or influence of the woman.
Give your soul to me, haunted by her effigy,
A repetition of the call to give one's soul, emphasizing the persistent haunting.
Through the wind, she comes to me.
The woman's arrival through the wind, suggesting an ethereal and otherworldly nature.
Annexed, misgiven girl, the angel of the sea,
Description of a misunderstood or wrongly judged girl with a connection to the sea.
Surrounded by fragile words and promises she never means,
Surrounded by insincere words and unfulfilled promises, creating a sense of betrayal.
She took my fears, forgave my tears, threw away her seven years,
The woman alleviates fears, forgives tears, and abandons her past for the speaker.
And heaven's not so bright, as she came to me that night.
Contrast between the brightness of heaven and the darkness of the encounter.
Give yourself to me, haunted by her effigy,
Repeated call to surrender, haunted by the woman's symbolic representation.
Bearing down on me, blinded by her legacy
Feeling overwhelmed by the ongoing impact or influence of the woman.
Give your soul to me, haunted by her effigy,
Reiteration of the call to give one's soul, emphasizing the persistent haunting.
Through the wind, she comes to me.
Reiteration of the mysterious woman's arrival through the wind.
I ran into the shadows bleeding,
The speaker retreats into shadows, possibly expressing fear or secrecy.
The shadows I hide in, it's always the same,
The perpetual nature of hiding in shadows and the constancy of experiences.
And the shame gripping tight to the skin of the sin,
The shame associated with sin, which clings tightly and persistently.
For the second they love you, the first that you kill.
Reflection on the paradox of love and its potential for harm or destruction.
The sea comes and calls her from death into light,
The sea symbolically calls the woman from death into the light of existence.
Leaving me facing the blade of her night,
The speaker faces the potential harm from the woman, represented by a blade.
Summoning my soul again, whispering her dark refrain
Summoning of the soul again, influenced by the woman's haunting presence.
Give yourself to me, haunted by her effigy,
Repeated call to surrender, haunted by the woman's symbolic representation.
Bearing down on me, blinded by her legacy
Feeling overwhelmed by the enduring impact or influence of the woman.
Give your soul to me, haunted by her effigy,
Reiteration of the call to give one's soul, emphasizing the persistent haunting.
Through the wind, she comes to me.
Reiteration of the mysterious woman's arrival through the wind.
