Lyrics

Oh the light is blinding

The intensity of light is overwhelming

And you were waiting patiently

Someone waited patiently for the speaker

For me, the wreckage is incomplete

The aftermath is not fully resolved

I buried the truth, I lied to you

The speaker concealed the truth and lied

Tell my mother it was in peace

The speaker wishes for a peaceful explanation to reach their mother


You were the only thing

Addressing someone or something as the only positive aspect of existence

That made existence a dream

This entity made life feel like a dream

A line between heaven, same line between hell

Life is a thin line between heaven and hell, and divine intervention is futile

Your god can't save me now

No divine intervention can save the speaker now

If there's another life, then maybe I can believe

Contemplating the possibility of believing in another life

Despite everything

Despite all circumstances


The agony inside of me

The internal pain is deep and inescapable

Can't be cured by a lobotomy

A lobotomy cannot cure the speaker's agony

It's gone too far you see

The situation has escalated beyond repair

They say I should believe

Advice to believe, but hope is elusive and causing internal conflict

And hope has never sat with me, it's tearing me up from the seams

Hope is causing internal turmoil and falling apart

A thousand empty promises were gave to me

Many promises were made but left unfulfilled


You were the only thing

Similar to line 7, reiterating the positive impact of someone or something

That made existence a dream

Continuation of the positive influence on life

A line between heaven, same line between hell

Life is a delicate balance between extremes, and divine intervention remains ineffective

Your god can't save me now

No divine intervention can change the current situation

If there's another life, then maybe I can believe

Contemplating belief in another life despite difficulties

Despite everything

Despite all circumstances

Despite everything

Reiteration of enduring despite challenges


I needed a place

The speaker needed a sense of belonging

I needed a home

The speaker sought a home


You never needed a home

Contrast with the speaker's needs, suggesting someone else's independence

You never needed a place

Continuation of emphasizing someone's independence

You never needed to lie

The other person never needed to be dishonest

Leave if you wanna leave

A willingness to let go if the other person chooses to leave

I'll always search for my home

The speaker is on a constant search for a home

Until I find my place

Until finding a rightful place, the search continues

You can leave if you want to

Permission for the other person to leave if desired


You were the only thing

Reiteration of the positive impact on existence

That made existence a dream

Continuation of the positive influence

A line between heaven, same line between hell

Life's delicate balance between extremes persists

Your god can't save me now

No divine intervention can alter the current state

If there's another life, then maybe I can believe

Considering belief in another life despite challenges

Despite everything

Despite all circumstances

Despite everything

Reiteration of enduring despite challenges
