![]() When she says it, it is like she is displacing blame on a third party for their failed relationship. I wonder what "But they shot us down" means. ![]() She isn't trying to hurt him, but she isn't trying to help him, either. "Don't stand again" is her telling him that the relationship is over and he can stop trying to save something that is already lost. When the woman ended the relationship, by whatever means she chose, the man finally realized what he was losing. "And I thought maybe we could save ourselves" says that she had faith in their relationship and that they would get over whatever was breaking them apart. It seems to me that the woman came to terms with this much sooner than the man did. The distancing wasn't intentional on either party's part, but they were both growing as individuals and they no longer had the spark they once had. They decided to make a life together in a time where they were madly in love with one another, but as time went on, they grew apart. At least a year, but possibly much longer. I believe that the man and woman have been together for a decent amount of time. This part is much more opinionated and likely arises from my recently failed marriage. "You see how all my broken pieces are painted on the wall" are broken peices of his body and blood splatter from gunshots. They are only going to keep shooting him and there is no way he can come out with a victory.Ĭrywolf's two parts of the song are like memoirs of the events right before and during the raid. "Don't stand again" is the woman begging the man to stop resisting the attackers/task force. They knew they were in trouble and they thought they were going to get out of it, but they didn't. "And I thought maybe we could save ourselves" is the woman's expression of her feeling of helplessness. "The smoke was pouring through the halls" could be tear gas or smoke used by the task force to disorient their targets, the couple in the house. Of course, the lyrics are most likely a metaphor, but on the surface, the lyrics make me think that the home of these two people, a romantically involved couple, is being raided by S.W.A.T. My InterpretationFirst off, I'd like to say that this song is amazing! I dont think anything could have been changed to make it any better. You see how all my broken pieces are painted on the wall Your hand's in mine, but it's slipping day by day ![]() And I thought maybe we could save ourselves
