Lyrics
Emma stands alone tonight
Emma is alone tonight.
Staring at the stars
She is gazing at the stars.
Trying to find the reason why
Emma is trying to understand why her world fell apart.
Her world was torn apart
Her world has been shattered.
She's sick and tired of trying to keep
Emma is exhausted from attempting to keep troubles away.
The wolves back from the door
There are challenges or threats she's facing.
She couldn't stand the pain (*)
Emma couldn't endure the emotional pain.
She tried to come in from the rain
She sought refuge from difficulties.
She was a victim of her heart
Emma is described as a victim of her emotions or love.
Is no-one to blame
No specific blame is assigned for her situation.
What happened to the dreams she had
Reference to the dreams she once had.
Visions of her life
Her envisioned future is now just a shadow.
Now they're only shadows
Those dreams have faded away.
Fading in the night
The fading occurs during the night.
She's given up believing
Emma has lost faith and hope.
Turned her back and slammed the door
She has turned away and closed the door on something.
(Repeat *)
Reiteration of Emma's inability to endure pain.
Emma weeps alone tonight
Emma is crying alone, and passion led to her downfall.
Passion was her crime
Passion is described as her crime.
No-one hears her cry for help
No one is responding to her plea for help.
Her back's against the wall
She feels cornered or in a difficult situation.
She's standing on her very edge
Emma is at the brink of something, possibly a crisis.
She's waiting for the fall
She is waiting for a downfall or negative event.
(Repeat *)
Reiteration of her inability to endure pain.
