From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea
The Cure Lyrics

Every time we do this
Each time we engage in this, this being an undefined act, possibly a physical or emotional act, I find myself falling for her again.

I fall for her
I develop romantic feelings for her, which implies that we had some kind of previous romantic relationship.

Wave after wave after wave
I experience a continuous flow of emotions, which are powerful and intense, similar to waves of the sea.

It's all for her
All the emotions and romantic feelings I experience are related to her and her alone.

"I know this can't be wrong" I say
I acknowledge that what I'm doing, possibly engaging in a romantic or emotional act with her, might not be the right thing, but I justify it to myself by saying it can't be wrong.

And I'll lie to keep her happy
I will deceive her to avoid hurting or disappointing her, even if it means lying.

As long as I know that you know
I need her to understand that I'm committing this act for her happiness, but this statement has an ambiguous meaning that it can also refer to the fact that I want to be sure that what I'm doing is not just for my own happiness.

That today I belong
At this moment, I feel a sense of belonging with her and want to make her mine.

Right here with you
I affirm that I am present with her and nowhere else.

And so we watch the sun come up
We are sharing a moment of intimacy, a sunrise, which is a symbol of beginning and hope.

From the edge of the deep green sea
We observe the sunrise together from a place near the deep green sea, which represents the unknown and the abyss of thoughts and emotions.

And she listens like her head's on fire
She is paying close attention to me, and her eagerness to believe in me is burning within her, giving the impression that her head is on fire.

Like she wants to believe in me
She wishes to accept whatever I'm saying or doing and have faith in me, maybe because she desires me or because she trusts me.

So I try
I attempt to be convincing and persuade her that I'm telling the truth or that I'm genuinely in love with her.

Put your hands in the sky
I ask her to raise her hands up high, which might symbolize surrendering, showing her appreciation or worshiping.

Surrender
I'm asking her to give up her doubts, fears or resistance and trust me entirely.

Remember
I'm reminding her of our love, shared moments, or any event that is meaningful or worth recalling.

We'll be here forever
I make a promise that my affection for her is eternal and that we will always be together.

And we'll never say goodbye
I reassure her that we won't part ways or let go of each other, probably implying that our love can overcome any obstacle.

I've never been so Colorfully-see-through-head before (I've never been)
I've never been so honest, genuine, and transparent with someone before, revealing all of my emotions, thoughts and feelings to her.

I've never been so Wonderfully me, you want some more?
I've never felt so authentic and content with myself, self-accepting, and self-loving. I'm also tempting her to desire more of me.

And all I want is to keep it like this
I express my eagerness to maintain this state of openness, authenticity, and contentment between us.

You and me alone
I long for intimacy and privacy with her, without any external distractions or interferences.

A secret kiss
I'm imagining a moment of secret intimacy or a stolen kiss, suggesting that our relationship might be kept secret or frowned upon.

And don't go home
I don't want her to leave me, abandon me, or go back to her previous life.

Don't go away
I'm pleading with her not to distance herself from me emotionally or physically.

Don't let this end
I request for the state of happiness, openness, and authenticity between us to continue indefinitely.

Please stay
I implore her to remain with me and not leave.

Not just for today
I'm hoping that what we share between us is not just temporary, and we will continue to be together in the future.

"Never, never, never, never Never, never, never, never Never let me go" she says
She's affirming that she wants to be with me, that she doesn't want us to part ways ever, and wants us to be in love forever.

"Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days"
She's asking me to embrace her with affection and love for a prolonged period, implying that she wants this moment to last forever.

But suddenly she slows
Her demeanor and behavior change abruptly, implying that something is troubling her.

And looks down at my breaking face
She gazes at me with compassion, empathy, and sadness, realizing that something is making me feel broken or sad.

"Why do you cry? what did I say?"
She asks me why I'm crying, possibly unaware of what she said or did that made me sad.

But it's just rain, I smile
I'm trying to hide my sadness by dismissing it as being just tears caused by rain, although I'm unable to hide it completely.

Brushing my tears away
I'm trying to remove my tears from my face, symbolically trying to get rid of my sadness or desperate emotions.

How much more can we use it up? Drink it dry?
I'm questioning the sustainability of us consuming something that is probably fulfilling for a fleeting moment or a limited time, which might also refer to our romance or relationship.

Take this drug?
I'm questioning whether this satisfactory feeling or state we are enjoying together is worth the risk, addictive or harmful, symbolically referring to a drug we are taking.

Looking for something forever gone
I'm looking for something that has vanished, disappeared, or is no longer attainable, symbolically indicating that our past happiness or previous state is long gone.

But something We will always want?
I'm implying that what we are seeking is not something we can acquire or sustain, but it is something we will always desire in life or love.

"Why, why, why Are you letting me go?" she says
She's questioning my loyalty and love towards her, wondering why I'm disloyal or unfaithful to our relationship.

I feel you pulling back
I sense that she is distancing herself from me emotionally, physically, or mentally.

I feel you changing shape
I perceive that something is altering her, her personality, emotions or thoughts, implying that she is not the same person as before.

And just as I'm breaking free
At the moment when I'm trying to be independent, breaking free of emotional ties or attachments to her, something dramatic occurs, changing the scenario.

She hangs herself in front of me
She might have hung herself figuratively, emotionally, or physically, in front of me, indicating that she's committing suicide either literally or symbolic.

Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
She might be taking her dress off, partially or entirely, metaphorically implying that she's exposing herself or making herself vulnerable to me.

And hands in the sky surrenders it all
She is finally surrendering herself to me, indicating that she trusts me completely and doesn't want to hold back anything, making herself emotionally naked.

It's always the same Wake up in the rain Head in pain Hung in shame A different name Same old game Love in vain
I repeat a similar pattern of events, which plays out like a vicious circle, waking up feeling sad or ashamed, remembering the old times, love not reciprocated, and a disguised identity.

And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles Away from home again
I'm far away from my comfort zone, my home, emotionally or physically, indicating that I'm feeling lost, confused, or disconnected from my reality.
