Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The earth beneath our feet was getting warm
They told me you were feeling pretty tired
And they laid your body down next to mine
And we, we were lights
But darling we went out tonight
They told me when you spoke you said my name
There was a storm
The earth beneath our feet was getting warm
They told me you were feeling pretty tired
And they laid your body down next to mine

The lyrics then reveal that someone close to the singer has passed away, and they are lying next to the singer's body. The singer reflects on their love and how they used to be "lights" together, but now they have gone out. The deceased person apparently spoke the singer's name and told them they will see each other at heaven's gates.
The song has a powerful and emotional impact on listeners. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it's clear that the singer is grieving and mourning the loss of someone they deeply loved. The storm and the warmth beneath their feet can be interpreted as a metaphor for the intensity of their emotions and the feeling that the world is changing around them.

Line by Line Meaning
There was a storm
There was turmoil and chaos in our lives
The earth beneath our feet was getting warm
The tension between us was intensifying
They told me you were feeling pretty tired
I was informed that you were exhausted and drained
And they laid your body down next to mine
You were by my side, even in death
And we, we were lights
We were once full and bright with love and hope
But darling we went out tonight
But our flame was extinguished, our love faded
They told me when you spoke you said my name
I was informed that in your last moments, you thought of me
You said my love, I'll see you at heaven's gates
You professed your love for me and hoped to reunite in the afterlife
