Nov 27th 2016!⃝These are the eyes and the lies of the taken
(I think this starts off with a guy describing a girl with depression how her eyes have lies like "I'm fine" ,and the "taken" meaning he's seen eyes like hers, of those who have killed themselves)
These are their hearts but their hearts don’t beat like ours
(People have tried to save her but they don't understand what she has gone though and what the guy had experienced, and that they can never understand that pain in their hearts)
They burn ‘cause they are all afraid
(they burn as in hurt, the people who try to save her are afraid that she will take her life)
For every one of us, there’s an army of them (as the girl tries to stand against her demons, there are more )
But you’ll never fight alone
(The boy will never let her fight depression by herself)
‘Cause I wanted you to know
That the world is ugly
But you’re beautiful to me
Well are you thinking of me now (now) (he knows that the world is a bad place, but he finds her beautiful, making the world worth living in. He's wondering if he's thinking of him, hoping his love will stop her if she ever thinks about taking her life)
These are the nights and the lights that we fade in
(Being in darkness, another metaphor for depression)
These are the words but the words aren’t coming out
(He wants to tell her he loves her to save her but he's afraid it's not enough)
They burn ‘cause they are hard to say (the words hurt to say)
For every failing sun, there’s a morning after (things get better)
Though I’m empty when you go
(He is telling her that he will be lonely without her)
I just wanted you to know
That the world is ugly
But you’re beautiful to me
Are you thinking of me,
Like I’m thinking of you?
I would say I’m sorry, though
Though I really need to go
(He wants to save her but he knows he can't)
I just wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I’m thinking of you every night, every day (he thinks of her after he leaves her, hoping she is able to keep going without her)
These are the lies and the lives of the taken (he's going over the ones he couldn't save, thinking she's next)
These are their hearts but their hearts don’t beat like ours
They burn ‘cause they are all afraid
When mine beats twice as hard
(His heart is heavy without her)
‘Cause the world is ugly
But you’re beautiful to me
Are you thinking of me
Like I’m thinking of you
I would say I’m sorry, though
Though I really need to go
I just wanted you to know
That the world is ugly (I just wanted you to know)
But you’re beautiful to me (I just wanted you to know)
Are you thinking of me
(He is reminding her to keep going, to think of him)
Stop your crying, helpless feeling
(He's telling the girl to rid herself of that feeling)
Dry your eyes and start believing
(Telling her to stop crying and believing that things get better)
There’s one thing they’ll never take from you (as long as she keeps going, her demons will never take her strength to want to live again)
(One day like this,
We’ll never be the same
Never forever
(One day she will get better, but he will fall back into depression, never knowing if he saved her)
Like ghosts in the snow
Like ghosts in the sun)
