Seeds of Gold
Closure in Moscow Lyrics

A liar of the sharpest tongue
Someone with a lying nature, who can skillfully twist words, to deceive others

We can't be something we're not
It is impossible to pretend or be someone other than ourselves

I met with the winged things baying
I encountered creatures who were howling or yelling loudly

And they feed off the winter lurking in your mind
They thrive on the darkness or negativity lurking within one's thoughts

can see it in your eyes
One's true feelings or intentions can be observed through their eyes

I just want you to look it out
I want you to confront or deal with your issues head-on

I just want you to get out
I want you to leave or distance yourself from your problems

But once you were beautiful, enough to bare,
You were once so beautiful that it was easy to reveal your true self

Seeds of gold, I didn't sow much
I didn't contribute much to create the beauty that was within you

You would hold me, and I would stare
In our moments together, we would just gaze longingly into each other's eyes

A pillar of salt, whisked away by the air
A sense of loss or separation, where what once seemed solid, has been taken away by the winds of fate

Beautiful, right from the start
Your inner beauty has always been evident, from the very beginning

I loved your soul, enough to leave in the cold
I cared for your true self enough to let you go, to face your challenges alone

Just when I think that I'll be safer out here
Just when I thought I could move on and find safety outside of my existing situation

By picking up the pace, covering ground
By trying to move quickly and leave things behind me

Something in looming wicked in these clouds, and calling me back
Something dangerous or ominous is present in the skies, calling for me to return

Where will I run when all these winged things circle over my head?
What will I do when my problems seem to surround me, with no clear path of escape?

When you're young in the wild, livin' in denial, you'll never survive
If you are immature or reckless, living in a state of denial, you will not be able to cope with the challenges of life

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I am filled with uncertainty and confusion

If it's your voice that dissolves on the brittle light
If I hear your voice fading away, in the dim light of my surroundings

You supplicate from the place I did not tread
You ask for help or support from somewhere I have not been before

And asked me to lay myself bare
You requested that I be completely honest and reveal my true self

You are dressed in night and snow
You are clothed in darkness and coldness- a symbol of melancholy or sadness

(Into the cold, I now go) Into the shroud
I am heading toward a dark and insidious state, which looks like a shroud (a garment put on a dead body)

(Now that I know we're one in the same) Into the shroud
Now that I understand that we share the same fears and problems, I am heading into the same ominous state

(You're young in the wild, living in denial, you'll never survive)
You are immature and don't understand the reality of the dangers we face
