Lyrics

The way a golden morning sky

The beauty of a golden morning sky

Adheres a rough tide it gets me

Strongly attracts or connects with a turbulent tide, affecting the speaker emotionally

To see the thoughts as they're passing by

Observing passing thoughts and reflections

And this love was seeded by the way that we're both so far out

Love was initiated by the shared experience of being distant or isolated

You wear a broken smile now

You display a broken smile, indicating emotional pain

And I know you'd lie

Awareness that the other person might not be truthful

If I asked you to try

Expecting a possible lie if asked to make an effort


The way cold moaning sigh

A cold moaning sigh doesn't resonate with love

Appeals to love doesn't get me

Struggling to see positive thoughts in challenging times

To see good thoughts when it's all the time

Difficulty finding positive thoughts consistently

And it's hard to see how we're here with us both so far out

Acknowledging the challenge of being distant in a relationship

You wear a broken smile now

Repeated mention of a broken smile, emphasizing emotional distress

And I know you'd lie

Awareness that the other person may not be truthful about trying

If I asked you to try

Expecting possible dishonesty when asked to try


Turn the lights out

An instruction or plea to turn off the lights

We've come to find our way back to the mark

Seeking a return to a familiar place or situation

Redefine how

Reimagining and altering the way things function

It works by chasing shadows in the dark

Changing perspective by exploring uncertainties or difficulties

Time is mine now

The speaker claims ownership of time and the need to avoid a hazy existence

And I can't afford to live in a solid blur

Cannot afford to live in a state of confusion or uncertainty

So turn the lights out

Reiterating the plea to turn off the lights


Achromatise a roses prize

Removing color or vibrancy from the prize of a rose

And deepen your thoughts of me reaching out

Deepening thoughts about the speaker reaching out

We've come afar

Expressing a journey or progress that has taken place

And I know it's hard

Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation

But I've had enough of the war

Expressing fatigue or dissatisfaction with a conflict or struggle

When we're both so far out

Reiteration of being distant and facing challenges

Now I've pulled it aside how

Having revealed or uncovered something, possibly a truth

Did I know you'd lie

How did the speaker know the other person would lie?

When I asked you to try

Reiteration of anticipating dishonesty when asking to try


The feelings gone, there's nowhere we can go

Acknowledging the absence of certain emotions or connections


Turn the lights out

Repeating the plea or instruction to turn off the lights

We've come to find our way back to the mark

Seeking a return to a familiar place or situation (repeated)

Redefine how

Reimagining and altering the way things function (repeated)

It works by chasing shadows in the dark

Changing perspective by exploring uncertainties or difficulties (repeated)

Time is mine now

Reiteration of claiming ownership of time and avoiding a hazy existence

I can't afford to live in a solid blur

Cannot afford to live in a state of confusion or uncertainty (repeated)

So turn the lights out

Reiterating the plea to turn off the lights (repeated)


I've been so below you and now

The speaker has been in a position beneath the other person, but that feeling has now passed or changed

That feeling has flown over

The feeling mentioned in the previous line has moved on or dissipated
