Lyrics
What is this shadow passing over us
Questioning a mysterious and ominous presence
like a cloud across the sun?
Describing the shadow's impact, using a metaphor
Where did it come from, was it something i've done?
Wondering about the origin and personal responsibility
We're so close now, you know, it's bound to get us both.
Expressing the closeness and inevitability of a shared fate
Do you feel it like i feel it now
Asking about a shared experience of pressure or danger
cold hands around your neck pushing down?
Describing a physical sensation of pressure
But you're from another land, and i'll never understand it
Highlighting cultural differences and lack of understanding
the strange sounds, the summer in your mouth.
Referencing unique and unexplainable aspects of a relationship
See us in your room, side by side
Imagining a shared space or experience
see us seeing two different nights
Observing different perspectives or interpretations
when i see all the shadows, you just see the light
Contrasting views on challenges and positivity
but like opposites, our edges align
Highlighting complementary differences in a relationship
Was it the pull of the stars, the year of the dog,
Listing possible influences or events shaping the relationship
the long-hidden spirals that sleep in the blood?
Referring to cosmic forces and hidden influences
Was it the fools i grew up with, the water we drunk?
Mentioning formative experiences and shared history
Whatever carved me as a hand to your glove,
Expressing a deep connection and mutual dependence
that's what i love
Emphasizing love for what completes and fits together
I was born at 9am sharp
Sharing personal birth details
it was a scheduled affair
Describing a planned birth contrasted with an unpredictable arrival
but you came late in the night, always picking your place and your time
Emphasizing spontaneity and timing in life
when all the other dreams come alive
Referencing a time when dreams come to life
Put us in the chairs at the wedding there
Imagining a wedding scene with symbolic lifting
the ones they lift in the air
Describing a unity of love and people
place our love and our people all together
Depicting a collective emotional experience
underneath us in the shape of a tear
Visualizing emotional weight in the shape of a tear
Was it the pull of the stars, the year of the dog,
Repeating the exploration of influences on the relationship
the long-hidden spirals that sleep in the blood?
Referring again to cosmic and hidden forces
Was it the fools i grew up with, the trash that we talked?
Mentioning shared experiences and communication
Whatever carved me as a hand to your glove,
Reiterating a deep connection and mutual dependence
that's what I love
Emphasizing love for what completes and fits together
