Lyrics

(And we talked) Just the two of us.

Conversation between two individuals.

(All the time) Nothing serious.

The discussions are not deep or significant.

(We pretend) Time is on our side.

Engaging in a facade, pretending that time is abundant.

('Til the end) When the scream subsides.

Anticipation of a critical moment when emotional intensity subsides.


Yes, we had it all, had the key gripped in our hands.

Reflection on possessing everything, having control.

We could see the fall as a martyr understands.

Awareness of an impending downfall, akin to a martyr's understanding.

When the chorus calls there's no room for hope inside.

In the face of challenges, no space for optimism during the chorus.

Lose it all when the scream subsides.

Possibility of losing it all when intense emotions subside.


(And we talked) Just the two of us.

Repeated conversation between the two individuals.

(All the time) Nothing serious.

Continuation of casual, non-serious discussions.

(We pretend) Time is on our side.

Further engagement in the illusion that time is limitless.

('Til the end) When the scream subsides.

Reiteration of the imminent moment when intense emotions fade.


Yes, we took the role of the lovers and the friends,

Assuming roles of both lovers and friends.

And we played the parts 'til the words came to an end.

Acting out the roles until words cease to convey meaning.

But the tongues were tied in the passion and the pride.

Communication barriers in the midst of passion and pride.

Wasted all when the scream subsides.

Wasting it all when the intensity of emotion diminishes.


(And we talked) Just the two of us.

Repetition of intimate conversations.

(All the time) Nothing serious.

Continued light-hearted and non-serious dialogue.

(We pretend) Time is on our side.

Perpetuating the illusion that time is a limitless resource.

('Til the end) When the scream subsides.

Emphasizing the eventual arrival of the moment when intense emotions subside.
