Lyrics
And I saw behind your eyes
Observing the inner emotions or thoughts concealed behind someone's eyes.
A place I feared to return
Refers to a place in the past that evokes fear and reluctance to revisit.
No solace waited for me in those depths
Expressing the absence of comfort or consolation in the mentioned depths.
And I shivered, worn by the cold
Feeling a physical reaction, shivering, due to the coldness experienced.
But the weather never blows
Contrasting the emotional chill with the idea that weather conditions are not always harsh.
Quite like the blistering winds
Metaphorically describing intense and cutting winds.
Roaring through empty houses
Imagery of desolation and abandonment in empty houses impacted by strong winds.
I tore my eyes away
Choosing to look away from the unsettling scene described.
Stared at the streetlamp
Fixating on a streetlamp, possibly symbolizing a vivid and persistent memory.
Burning in my memory
The enduring image of the streetlamp becoming a lasting impression.
The glow I wished your heart could hold
Wishing for a warmth or positive emotion in the person's heart.
Contact once and contact again
Referring to repeated contacts or interactions.
But all the hands in the world
Despite efforts, the collective hands of the world can't reach far enough, suggesting distance or separation.
Couldn't ever reach out quite far enough
Emphasizing the insurmountable gap in connection despite numerous attempts.

If it helps you let me go
