Song Meaning

The lyrics immediately plunge into a relationship defined by imbalance and shared suffering. The speaker asks, "Would you change? I have," setting a tone of asymmetry and personal evolution. Despite this, there's a fatalistic commitment to "Fall in love, with you, anyway," suggesting an acceptance of the pain that comes with it. The central emotional tension stems from an intoxicating, almost devotional attachment to a figure who is simultaneously divine and destructive. The repeated parenthetical lines, like "We suffer, we suffer / I suffer, we suffer, we suffer now," underscore a pervasive, inescapable pain, whether experienced collectively or individually. This dynamic is further complicated by the stark contrast: "I love your style, you hate my lies!" revealing a relationship built on both deep attraction and fundamental discord. The imagery elevates personal struggle to a cosmic scale, making the emotional impact feel immense. Phrases like "In the shadows of your eyes you look like God" and "If even the stars fall from your eyes / Revolve as they burn in the night" paint a picture of breathtaking, destructive beauty. The subtle shift from "your eyes" to "her eyes" in the pre-chorus suggests this powerful, god-like figure might be a recurring archetype or a more generalized force, rather than just one specific person, amplifying the sense of an inescapable, overwhelming presence. Ultimately, these lyrics effectively convey a sense of inescapable, almost fated, emotional entanglement. The speaker appears to recognize the destructive nature of this "ghostly possession" that "will always possess you," yet remains drawn to it. The urgent, almost desperate plea in the post-chorus, "Infinity lies! Save yourself!", acts as a sharp, self-aware warning, highlighting the speaker's recognition of the danger even amidst the profound connection.
