Lyrics
Like a feather
Feeling light and delicate, easily influenced
Confused by the wind
Feeling disoriented or uncertain, like a feather blown by the wind
Twisting and turning
Experiencing twists and turns, possibly in emotions or circumstances
Knees skinned
Having scraped or injured knees, metaphorical or literal
And you keep changing your mind
Indecisiveness and changes in opinion
And I keep falling into nothing
Falling into a state of emptiness or uncertainty
Anywhere and nowhere in particular
Being in a state of flux, without a specific destination
Like a promise
Comparing a commitment to a promise written in the sand
Written in the sand
Implies fragility and impermanence of the commitment
You were meant to be
Suggesting a sense of destiny or purpose
Till the waves came round
Interrupted destiny or purpose by external forces (waves)
And you keep changing your mind
Continued indecision and vacillation
And I keep falling into empty
Repeatedly experiencing a sense of emptiness or loss
And it's all or nothing in particular
Highlighting the extremes of all or nothing
I count your eyelashes secretly
Secretly observing and cherishing small details about the person
Pretend that we were meant to be
Pretending or imagining a destined connection
But the light went out
Metaphorically, the light representing hope or positivity has dimmed
And there's no one home
Feeling alone or abandoned, with no one to share the light
I count the lines around your smile
Examining the signs of happiness (smile) but with a sense of loss
Hold the thought for a little while
Pausing to savor a positive thought or memory
But the lights went out
Reiteration of the dimming of positivity or hope
And there's no one home
Reemphasizing a sense of loneliness or abandonment
No one home
Confirmation of emptiness and absence of others
