Thanatos
Loren & Mash Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we both from a different world?
'Cause every breath that I take
I breathe it for you
I couldn't face my life without you
And I'm so afraid
There's nothing to comfort us
What am I, if I can't be yours

I don't sleep, don't feel a thing
And my senses have all but gone
Can't even cry from the pain
Can't shed a tear now
I realize we're not the same
And it's makin' me sad
'Cause we can't fulfil our dream
In this life

So I must, let us break free
I can never be what you need
If there was a way through the hurt
Then I would find it
I'd take the blows
Yes, I would fight it
But this is the one

Impossible dream to live
What am I, if I can't be yours

Line by Line Meaning

Now it's time, I fear to tell
I have been hesitant to reveal my true feelings until now

I've been holding it back so long
I have been suppressing my emotions for a prolonged period

But something strange deep inside of me is happening
I am experiencing an unusual emotional upheaval within myself

I feel unlike
I am experiencing emotions I have not felt before

I've ever felt and it's makin' me scared
These new emotions are causing me to be afraid

That I may not be what I think I am
My feelings are making me question my identity

What of us, what do I say?
What do we do about our situation?

Are we both from a different world?
Do our differences make us incompatible?

'Cause every breath that I take
I am deeply in love with you

I breathe it for you
My love and existence revolves around you

I couldn't face my wife without you
I am unable to live without you anymore

And I'm so afraid
I am scared of the consequences of our love

There's nothing to comfort us
We have no support or solace

What am I, if I can't be yours
My love for you is my identity

I don't sleep, don't feel a thing
My love for you has affected my ability to function normally

And my senses have all but gone
I am numb to everything but you

Can't even cry from the pain
I am unable to express the agony of our situation

Can't shed a tear now
I have lost the ability to cry

I realize we're not the same
Our love is true, but our identities are different

And it's makin' me sad
Our situation is causing me immense sorrow

'Cause we can't fulfil our dream
We are unable to achieve our ultimate goal together

So I must, let us break free
We need to move on from each other

I can never be what you need
I cannot give you what you truly need

If there was a way through the hurt
If only there was a way to fix our relationship

Then I would find it
I would try my best to fix our relationship

I'd take the blows
I am willing to take the pain to make things right

Yes, I would fight it
I would strive for our relationship and love

But this is the one
This is the one problem we cannot solve

Impossible dream to live
Our love is forbidden and cannot exist

What am I, if I can't be yours
My love for you is my identity, and without you, I am incomplete

When your mind is playing tricks on you.
When you feel like you're the worst person on earth.
When you feel like you are unworthy of love.
When you feel like you are unworthy of forgiveness.

You are not what you think you are.
