Lyrics
I went to where you are
I physically went to your location
I travelled wide and far
I traveled extensively
But I can't save you
I cannot rescue or protect you
No I can't save you
Reiteration of the inability to save
We reached a plateau
We reached a point of stability
When you jumped I let you go
When you decided to take a leap, I allowed it to happen
No I can't save you
Reiteration of the incapacity to save
No I can't save you
Repetition of the inability to save, emphasizing the limit
Not I when you run to
I cannot save you even when you seek refuge
The rope we held was tight
The connection we had was strong
You and me on opposing sides
We were on opposing sides when you and I were connected by a rope
I couldn't save you
I couldn't save you, perhaps because you didn't want to be saved
You didn't want me to
Your reluctance or choice not to be saved
The threads they frayed with weight
The ties between us weakened due to the burden of our individual sorrows
Of our separate heart aches
The weight of our separate emotional pain
I couldn't save you
I couldn't save you, and it seemed you didn't want saving
You didn't want me to
Your apparent choice not to be rescued
(Not I when you run to)
Reiteration of the inability to save
(I couldn't save you)
-I told you
I advised you to release and let go
To let go
Instructing to allow a fall to happen
Let me fall
Your resistance made the fall slow
Fall too slow
-But you hung
You clung tightly due to fear and strength
On too tight
-With your fear
-And your might
-Now I smash
The consequences - a separation and a clearer realization of truth
Far from you
-Can you now
-See the truth
-I told you
Reiteration of advising to let go
To let go
Repeat of the suggestion to allow a fall
Let me fall
The fall is still slow due to resistance
Fall too slow
-But you hung
Continued clinging due to fear and strength
On too tight
-With your fear
-And your might
-Now I smash
The aftermath - a separation and an invitation to see the truth
Far from you
-Can you now
-See the truth
-I told you
Once more urging to let go
To let go
Emphasizing the fall, which is slow
Let me fall
The fall persists, hindered by resistance
Fall so slow
-But you hung
The clinging continues, driven by fear and strength
On too tight
-With your fear
-And your might
-Now I smash
A final outcome - a collision or confrontation
Into you
