So I think this is when he looks to God for the answers, just searching for the reassurance that we’re all pawns on his giant chess board. I’ve experienced this feeling, and it really is like an out-of-body occurrence. This is for real.’ For a lot of people, there are just these moments where you come to understand the reality and the intricacy of life, and it flabbergasts you that something so beautiful in all its tragic glory could actually exist. Then, in the chorus he’s sitting on the beach, and that’s when he has this epiphany, this realization where he really steps back and is like ‘Wow. He just wants answers, answers only his partner can give, but it seems she’s denying him. General CommentAs previously stated, the first verse is obviously about a relationship failed. I'll be the wings that keep your heart in the clouds' 'You be the anchor that keeps my feet on the ground. This is undoubtedly my favorite song off the album, if only because I can put myself exactly in the guy's shoes. I think anyone who's been in a deep relationship that ended by the other person leaving them can relate. This song was definitely the easiest to relate to for me. And because she actually did leave him, he's scared to death. He wants to know that she'll never let him go. He wants to hear that she'll love him 'til the death. The ending part is him wanting to meet with the girl again. Was the relationship really that perfect? In other words, was everything he saw in the relationship real, or were there things that he wasn't really aware of, and maybe that's why the girl left. He dreams that he's walking beside an ocean, reminiscing about all the past events in the relationship (those are the silhouette dreams), and he asks God if everyone there was make believe. what was it that he did wrong?Įventually, he drifts off into that sleep that you get when you're super exhausted, totally worn out from being so depressed. In the second verse, he tells of how he thought that their relationship was perfect, and I guess he's just wondering how she could leave. Probably because she was cheating on him with another guy behind his back. I interpret the first verse as him reading a goodbye letter that the girl gave to him as she was leaving because she couldn't actually tell him face to face. General CommentThe verses are definitely about him thinking about the relationship. If I could find another thirty minutes somewhereĪnd I'll have you know I'm scared to deathĪnd should I die, you swear that you will come for me With a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question."ĭoes this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me? Just to ask God the question, "Is everyone here make-believe?" Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreamsĪll my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes And honestly, I have been begging for answers
