Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and the rich took off to their planets of gold
if our sweat and tears turned to crystal form
I would hold you again until you were warm

The second line paints a picture of the privileged few escaping to new destinations, leaving behind those left to suffer in a dying world. The third line is a poignant metaphor for the human condition, where the hardships and struggles we experience become crystallized, turning into a permanent, unchanging reminder of the past. The final line provides a glimmer of hope in this bleak setting, ending with a message of love and warmth between two individuals, despite what may transpire around them.

If the sun burnt out and the world grew cold
In the scenario where the sun no longer provided heat and the world became frigid
and the rich took off to their planets of gold
and the wealthy individuals escaped to their luxurious own worlds
if our sweat and tears turned to crystal form
in the hypothetical scenario where our perspiration and sadness hardened into crystals
I would hold you again until you were warm
I would embrace you again until your body was at a comfortable temperature
