Lyrics
And the gods
Reference to divine entities or higher powers
They sing from above
Depiction of gods singing from a celestial location
In your head
Suggestive of inner thoughts or imagination
Landing like a dove
Metaphor for a gentle and peaceful arrival
Like a fire
Comparison to an everlasting and intense flame
that´ll never end
Implies a perpetual and unending quality
Ancient wounds
Refers to unresolved emotional injuries or scars
I could never mend
Expresses inability to heal deep emotional wounds
And the street lights
City lights symbolizing a sense of optimism or hope
They seem so bright
Perception of urban lights as vibrant and positive
Under my own kind
Feeling of isolation within one's own community
Feel so alone again
Emotional loneliness reiterated
And the heavens never heard my cries
Belief that divine forces are unaware of personal struggles
Never looked back and never thought twice
Choosing to move forward without hesitation or regret
A glimpse of truth glowing in your eyes
Recognition of a glimpse of truth in someone's eyes
Knowing we won´t be alright
Acknowledgment that things may not be okay
Alright
Repetition emphasizing uncertainty or a lack of assurance
Alright
-Alright
-All this time
Reflection on the passage of time
As the years went by
Observing the years passing by
I was high
Admission of being in an altered state, possibly intoxicated
Stuck inside a mind
Feeling mentally confined or trapped
Like a child
Comparing mental state to that of a child
Somewhat dead but full of life
Paradoxical state of being somewhat lifeless yet lively
And I never knew how
Expression of not understanding something
The street lights
Reiteration of the luminosity of city lights
They seem so bright
Perception of urban lights as vibrant and positive
Under my own kind
Repeating the feeling of isolation within one's own community
Feel so alone again
Emphasizing emotional loneliness once again
And the heavens never heard my cries
Repetition of the theme of divine indifference and uncertain future
Never looked back and never thought twice
-A glimpse of truth glowing in your eyes
-Knowing we won´t be alright
-And the heavens never heard my cries
-Never looked back and never thought twice
-A glimpse of truth glowing in your eyes
-Knowing we won´t be alright
-Alright
Final repetition emphasizing the lack of assurance
Alright
