WINDSWEPT
Crywolf Lyrics

On that night under the staircase
The moment they met, it was under a staircase.

Our arms drifting down
Their arms were hanging loosely by their sides.

Your kiss made me a believer
The kiss was transformative, making the singer believe in something.

Cleansed my sins somehow
The kiss made the artist feel cleansed of their sins.

I'll be what you need
The artist will be the person their partner needs them to be.

I'll keep you inside my fortress
The singer will protect their partner from the world outside.

Hand you the keys, leave you to roam these halls
The singer will give their partner the freedom to explore their relationship on their own terms.

But you tore down the keep
Their partner broke down the walls the artist had built around them.

I returned to find ruins
The artist came back to find that everything they had built was destroyed.

You left all my love in the rubble with these walls
Their partner destroyed not only the walls, but their love as well.

But in my head
The singer is reflecting on their memories and emotions.

I am still there
The artist is stuck in the past, unable to move on.

I can still feel you
The feelings the singer had for their partner are still very real.

Breathing slow
The singer is trying to calm themselves and focus on their memories.

I've known this dream for a long time
The singer has been lost in this fantasy for a while.

In the air
The artist is contemplating something abstract and intangible.

Suspended here
The feeling or emotion is lingering in the artist's head and heart.

With thousands of words we've spoken
Their relationship was full of conversation and communication.

Can I soar
The singer is questioning whether they can move on and let go of their emotions.

Up through the clouds?
The artist is becoming metaphorical and abstract again, imagining a new reality.

Leave all of this behind
The artist wants to leave their past and emotions behind and move on.

All alone
The artist is feeling isolated and lost.

I feel your breath
The singer can still feel their partner's presence, even though they're not there.

I hear your whispers
The artist can still hear their partner's voice in their head.

Dark like storms
Their partner's voice is ominous and haunting.

Telling me, "Dear, I'll never leave your mind"
Their partner's voice is comforting, but also implies that they will be stuck in the singer's mind forever.

And you've been there all along
Their partner's memory has been with the singer throughout their journey.

Tugging me, pulling me down
The memory of their partner is weighing the artist down and holding them back.

Touching him, holding him close
The artist imagines their partner with someone else, which is painful.

You've made your home
Their partner has moved on and made a life without the singer.

And I see your face through his eyes
The singer is comparing themselves to the person their partner is now with, imagining what they see in their partner.

With every move of your hips
Their partner's physical movements are triggering deep emotions in the artist.

You're breaking my bones
The emotional pain the artist is experiencing is almost physical.

While holding me hostage
The artist is trapped by their emotions and memories.

Could I still love you
The singer is still questioning their emotions and feelings.

Though my arms are breaking?
Even though the pain is immense, the artist is still considering loving their partner.

Could we still be alone?
The singer is wondering if their partner is still thinking of them and if they could reunite.

Do I still know you?
The singer is questioning if they ever really knew their partner.

Are you still my answer
The singer is asking if their partner is still the answer to their problems.

To the question I've asked since I was born?
The artist has been searching for something since they were born and is wondering if their partner is that missing piece.
