Chains
Breaking Chains: A Journey Through Love and Pain
Lyrics
Fireflies, dancing before my eyes
Observing fireflies, creating a beautiful visual experience
Who knew they could be so beautiful
Expressing surprise at the unexpected beauty of fireflies
I got high, so I could fly
Using drugs to alter perception and achieve a sense of freedom
Stopped me from being miserable
Drugs preventing the speaker from feeling miserable
I'm staring at the hourglass
Contemplating the passage of time using an hourglass
There's not long now till I'm in the past
Awareness of approaching the past as time runs out
And I don't know if there's time
Uncertainty about the availability of time
To find out, if you're mine
Questioning if there's time to determine a relationship status
You're a light, You're a phase
Describing someone as a guiding light or influence
You're more distant than, the sun's rays
Expressing emotional distance, greater than the sun's rays
Can't say I'm perfect, in every fucking way
Admitting imperfection, acknowledging no one is perfect
No one is, not today
Highlighting the universality of imperfection in today's society
Hey, you broke my chains
Feeling liberated from constraints, possibly emotional or psychological
You're a star I thought I'd never see again
Expressing joy at encountering a significant person again
Hey, I'm in pain
Acknowledging emotional pain
You could break everything, if I never say
Suggesting vulnerability, the power to break everything if feelings aren't expressed
Hey, you broke my chains
Reiterating the liberation from constraints
You're a star I wish I never saw again
Mixed emotions about encountering a significant person again
Hey, I'm in pain
Acknowledging emotional pain, possibly intensified
I could break everything, if I never say
Expressing personal power to break everything if feelings aren't conveyed
If I never say, If I never say
Repetition emphasizing the consequences of unspoken words
Well I guess I'm just killing time
Indicating a sense of aimlessness or waiting
To what I don't know
Uncertain about the purpose of killing time
To death I suppose
Speculating on the destination of time, possibly death
Well I've gone home again
Returning to a familiar place or state
Will you tell me when
Seeking information about personal change
You changed
Asking when the significant person changed
Your mind
Expressing fear of discovering the changed mind of the significant person
I'm scared of what I'll find.
Acknowledging fear of the unknown and potential disappointment
