Lacuna_Coil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were holding my hands
Then I awake and you're not mine
Now it's time to rise
I want to turn cold ice in my soul
Got to freeze this yearning inside
The passion of love
Desire and yearning the
Deeper they burn
You were...
Now it's too late
You were...
Now you're gone
It's too late
I was wrong
It's my fate
"I think of you and I see me
I'm the one I thought I've never be
I feel dirty - no purity
Desire and yearning in you heart
No mercy for you no mercy for me."

It is clear that the singer has been deeply affected by this lost love and is struggling to move on.
The second verse continues to explore these themes, talking about the passion and desire that the singer feels for this lost love. The repetition of "You were..." emphasizes the fact that this love is now gone and can never be recaptured. The chorus repeats this idea, with the singer acknowledging that it is now too late and their fate has been sealed. The final verse is a reflection on the singer's own feelings of impurity and desire, suggesting that the lost love was not entirely innocent or pure either.
