Free from your past
Free of your future too
There's nothing left to rise above but you

Show me your ocean red
Kiss the tears that stain my neck
Drug me with fissions untrue

But I won't photograph
You laying naked upon your back
Safe in a stone house by the sea

There's nothing true and nothing's real
But I remember one clear feel
Warm beneath your gentle company

While I lay dying upon some bed
I hope that you remember this
The only one I want to see is you

Overall Meaning

The Angels of Light’s Untitled Love Song appears to be an introspective song about letting go of the past, embracing the present and living in the moment. The first lines of the song, “Free from your past, Free of your future too, There's nothing left to rise above but you” can be interpreted as the artist telling us to let go of our past and future worries and focus on ourselves. The phrase “Nothing left to rise above but you” implies that the only obstacle one needs to overcome is themselves.

The second stanza, “Show me your ocean red, Kiss the tears that stain my neck, Drug me with fissions untrue” can be interpreted as the artist asking his subject to reveal their deep emotions and share their true selves with him. The line “Drug me with fissions untrue” can be seen as a metaphor for being under the influence of someone’s abstract and raw emotion.

The third and final stanza, “But I won't photograph, You laying naked upon your back, Safe in a stone house by the sea, There's nothing true and nothing's real, But I remember one clear feel, Warm beneath your gentle company”. Can be interpreted as the artist deciding not to capture the moment through a photograph, but instead, to relish it for what it is. The line “There's nothing true and nothing's real” can be interpreted as a comment on the fleeting nature of the moment, but with the line “But I remember one clear feel, Warm beneath your gentle company”, the artists affirm that the moment was real and indeed happened.
