Lyrics
Take a drag
Engaging in smoking.
Turn the page, I'm late
Turning the page, possibly metaphorical for progressing in life; being late.
You'll wait
Someone is waiting for the speaker despite being late.
But you won't feel bad
No guilt or remorse for being late.
If all my faith
The value of the speaker's faith.
Is worth its weight
If the speaker's faith has substance or importance.
In words that you won't hear
Expression of words unheard by someone.
I'm faithless
Lacking faith, possibly in a relationship.
Falling out with fate I fear
Fear of falling out of favor with fate.
Take it slow
Advocating a slow approach or possibly caution.
End it fast I know
An acknowledgment of an impending end.
At last
Finally, reaching a conclusion or resolution.
What it's like this low
Describing a low point or a challenging situation.
If all I've made
The value of what the speaker has created.
Is worth its weight
The importance or substance of the speaker's creation.
In gold that you won't hold
In gold, something valuable that is not held or appreciated.
I'm weightless
Feeling weightless, possibly detached from emotions.
Colder now so I've been told
Experiencing a cold emotional state, as informed by others.
But falling out of love gets old
Expressing weariness with the process of falling out of love.
In between the ends
In the midst or transition between opposing situations.
Of what you needed more and what you had
The disparity between desires and reality.
It seemed to be exactly as you'd dreamed
An idealized situation that turns out differently in reality.
Until the end is all you have
The consequence of the dream becoming the only reality.
No one else
No one resembling the listener.
Has a face like you
Unique facial features.
I'd know
Speaker recognizes the uniqueness of the listener.
I'm a monster too
Speaker acknowledges personal flaws or monstrous qualities.
Wish I could tell you
Expressing a desire to be honest about fears.
That I'm scared to keep pretending
Fear of continued pretense.
Now I'm faceless
Being without a recognizable identity.
Crawling out a siren's cave
Emerging from a difficult situation, possibly symbolized by a siren's cave.
To fall from grace and hope I'm saved
Desiring redemption after a fall from grace.
In between the ends
Similar to line 22, navigating between opposing situations.
Of what you needed more and what you had
Reiteration of the disparity between desires and reality.
It seemed to be exactly you'd dreamed
Reiteration of an idealized situation turning differently in reality.
Until the end is all you have
Reinforcing the idea that the dream becomes the sole reality.
In between the sheets
In a situation involving intimacy or vulnerability.
We spoke in tongues at Babette's Feast
Communication in a unique or private language.
The candles burn Virginia blend and English tea
Setting and atmosphere characterized by specific details.
I hope the end is all you need
Wishing fulfillment or satisfaction at the end.
