Lyrics
When they take the dream from my mind
Expressing vulnerability when personal dreams are taken away.
And unfold it in the light
Imagery of unfolding dreams in the light, revealing their essence.
You'll be there, every line of your hair
A romantic image of closeness, focusing on the details of hair.
Lying against me in the night
Intimacy and comfort represented by someone lying against the speaker.
How do I explain the sheer weight of each strand?
Contemplating the significance and complexity of the person's hair.
In each strange direction, will only lead me back
Recognition that exploring different paths only leads back to the same person.
Look at you here, just like I remember
Observation of the familiar and strange aspects of the person.
You feel so strange and yet so familiar
Contradictory feelings of strangeness and familiarity.
We're like two mirrors facing one another
Comparison of the relationship to two mirrors facing each other.
Look at us grinning and going on forever
Celebrating the enduring and joyful nature of the relationship.
I seen you snap, seen you gnash your teeth
Recalling moments of emotional intensity, including anger.
Seen you down and drowning out of reach
Witnessing struggles and difficulties that were beyond reach.
To tell the truth, I kind of missed your blues
Expressing a longing for the authenticity of the person's emotional struggles.
The way your black sunglasses see right through
Acknowledging the depth of understanding through black sunglasses.
Come to me now, close like I'm in your frame
Inviting the person to come closer, emphasizing intimacy.
Squint your eyes a bit and bring us back again
Using physical closeness and perspective to reconnect.
Again
Repetition emphasizing the cyclical nature of their connection.
Again
-Again
-Look at you here, just like I remember
Reflecting on the familiar and strange aspects of the person.
It feels so strange, strange and yet familiar
Reiteration of the contradictory feelings towards the person.
We're like two mirrors facing one another
Comparison of the relationship to two mirrors, emphasizing symmetry.
Look at us grinning and going on forever
Highlighting the enduring and joyful nature of the relationship.
Every frame, each and every second
Reflecting on moments in time, extending from their beginning.
All extending out, out from our beginning
Emphasizing the continuity of their connection throughout time.
We were just kids, yeah, you were my best friend
Nostalgic reference to their childhood and close friendship.
Oh, with me then, then until the end
Acknowledging the enduring nature of their friendship until the end.
Saying, "Fuck you" to the dark
Defiance and resistance against darkness, depth, cancer, and a specific year.
Saying, "Fuck you" to the deep
-Saying, "Fuck off, cancer"
-Saying, "Fuck 2017"
-Saying, "Never again"
Expressing a collective commitment to never experience certain hardships again.
All together with me
Unity and solidarity in facing challenges together.
Saying, "Never again"
Reiterating the commitment to avoid certain negative experiences.
'Cause together makes a difference
Emphasizing the impact of unity in making a positive difference.
Oh, that's why we're here like I remember
Recalling the enduring nature of their relationship, racing forward together.
Oh, racing for each other and going on forever
