Lyrics
Got my walls built up high
Expresses having emotional barriers or defenses established
I don't think you could climb
Doubting someone's ability to break through those barriers
Wouldn't hurt if you tried
Suggesting that attempting to break through wouldn't cause harm
But I just got tired
Feeling fatigued or weary due to the situation
And now there's
Transitioning to a new situation or consequence
Broken glass under my feet
Literal broken glass imagery representing pain or difficulty
You kept running towards the sea
Someone persistently pursuing a direction despite obstacles
Where the waves would take you over (over)
The inevitability of consequences or fate (in this case, negative)
Sky is turning red and I
Observing an ominous change or warning sign
Write a song about your lies
Using creative expression (writing a song) to cope with betrayal
Wouldn't it be nice to hold you underwater
Imagining a scenario of retribution or control
While the stars are falling down
Combining natural beauty with a desire for revenge or punishment
Hoping that our love won't drown
Hoping that the relationship can withstand challenges
Bet you wish the clouds between us never watered
Regretting circumstances that contributed to current pain
(Never watered)
Reiteration of regret or unchangeable circumstances
Got my walls built up high
Repeating the idea of emotional barriers
High as the moon in the sky
Metaphorically distant and unattainable, like the moon
And I thought I heard you say
Recollection of someone pleading not to be abandoned
Oh please don't leave us behind
Hope expressed for overcoming challenges together
We'll get through if we try
Belief that effort could lead to success in the relationship
And now there's
Transitioning to a new situation or consequence (repeated from line 5)
Broken glass under my feet
Repeated imagery of pain or difficulty with broken glass
You kept running towards the sea
Repeated depiction of someone persistently moving towards trouble
Where the waves would take you over (over)
Anticipating the inevitable consequences (repeated from line 8)
Sky is turning red and I
Reiterating the ominous change or warning sign (repeated from line 9)
Write a song about your lies
Repetition of using creative expression to cope with betrayal (repeated from line 10)
Wouldn't it be nice to hold you underwater
Reiteration of the desire for control or retribution (repeated from line 11)
While the stars are falling down
Combining natural beauty with a desire for revenge or punishment (repeated from line 12)
Hoping that our love won't drown
Hope that the relationship can withstand challenges (repeated from line 13)
Bet you wish the clouds between us never watered
Regret over circumstances contributing to current pain (repeated from line 14)
Sky is turning red and I
Reiteration of an ominous change or warning sign (repeated from line 9 and 25)
Write a song about your lies
Repetition of using creative expression to cope with betrayal (repeated from line 10 and 26)
Wouldn't it be nice to hold you underwater
Reiteration of the desire for control or retribution (repeated from line 11 and 27)
While the stars are falling down
Combining natural beauty with a desire for revenge or punishment (repeated from line 12 and 28)
Hoping that our love won't drown
Hope that the relationship can withstand challenges (repeated from line 13 and 29)
Bet you wish the clouds between us never watered
Regret over circumstances contributing to current pain (repeated from line 14 and 30)
