Notre Dame
Centuries Unraveled: A Tale of Cursed Love
Lyrics
Well it seems like things are getting worse
Expressing a sense that the situation is worsening.
You're the black cat on my path, you've crossed me and I'm cursed
Comparing someone to a black cat, symbolizing bad luck or misfortune caused by crossing paths.
I'm a victim and you're the plague
Describing oneself as a victim and the other person as a destructive force (plague).
There's no cure and I'm left conscious but I'm dying in decay
Feeling incurable consequences, conscious of the decay caused by the destructive relationship.
Like the flames to Notre Dame, nothing sacred here is safe
Drawing parallels between the flames destroying Notre Dame and the lack of safety in sacred aspects of life.
I've exhausted all my prayers here on these pews
Having exhausted prayers, possibly implying a sense of hopelessness or despair.
And all the past lives that I've lived somehow led me here to this
Reflecting on past experiences leading to the current undesirable situation.
It's taken centuries for me to get to you
Highlighting the significant passage of time (centuries) to reach this point in the troubled relationship.
I believed all of your lies
Expressing betrayal by believing lies told by the other person.
When you told me what was yours, one day would be mine
Recalling false promises that what belonged to the other person would eventually be shared.
Now I'm out here in the cold
Being left alone in a cold emotional state.
And I'll wait right here for you and watch this tragedy unfold
Waiting for the other person, anticipating and witnessing a tragic outcome.
Like the flames to Notre Dame, nothing sacred here is safe
Reiterating the lack of safety in sacred aspects of life through the metaphor of flames and Notre Dame.
I've exhausted all my prayers here on these pews
Continuing to express the exhaustion of prayers, emphasizing a sense of futility.
And all the past lives that I've lived somehow led me here to this
Revisiting past lives as contributing factors to the current state of affairs.
It's taken centuries for me to get to you
Reiterating the prolonged time (centuries) taken to reach this point in the troubled relationship.
Like the flames to Notre Dame, nothing sacred here is safe
Repeating the metaphor of Notre Dame's flames to convey the lack of safety in sacred aspects of life.
I've exhausted all my prayers here on these pews
Expressing the persistence of prayer exhaustion, reinforcing a sense of hopelessness.
And all the past lives that I've lived somehow led me here to this
Reaffirming the impact of past lives on the current undesirable situation.
It's taken centuries for me to get to you
Stressing the significant passage of time (centuries) in the prolonged journey of the troubled relationship.
It's taken centuries for me to get to you
Emphasizing the extensive duration taken to reach the current point in the relationship.
It's taken centuries for me to get to you
Repeating the notion of centuries, underscoring the time invested in the tumultuous relationship.
