Lyrics
I can see my cold breath cutting your face
I perceive the visible vapor of my breath in the cold air affecting you.
I can hear your heartbeat slowing it's pace
I can sense your heart rate slowing down.
When all the words are said
After all the words have been spoken.
There's no coming back, no waking up the dead
There is no return, no awakening of the deceased.
Oh them rivers running blind and heartless
The rivers, symbolizing life's unpredictable and indifferent paths, run without direction or compassion.
Let me run with them
Expressing a desire to join and flow with these rivers metaphorically.
Don't let me drown in these still waters
A plea not to be submerged or overwhelmed in stagnant and calm waters.
When all the words are said
Reiteration that once words are spoken, there's no reversing the consequences.
There's no coming back, no waking up the dead
No possibility of reviving what has passed away.
Oh there's never a better time than now
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment as the best time.
We count minutes days and years
We measure time in minutes, days, and years, reflecting on the passage of time.
We tie our tired eyes
We close our weary eyes, possibly indicating fatigue or weariness.
Wish we'd tie our mouth
Suggesting a wish to restrain verbal expression and speak less.
They tell better lies
Observation that lies told to ourselves may be more comforting than the truth.
Aren't you tired of dying in your own arms?
A rhetorical question, asking if the listener is exhausted from self-destructive actions.
When all your walls are down
In a vulnerable state with defenses lowered.
Come into my blind river
Invitation to enter a shared, blind river, symbolizing an embrace of the unknown together.
Where in each other's arms we will drown
Anticipating mutual drowning in each other's arms as a metaphor for deep emotional connection.
