Restore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cage heaving, collapsing. Wait for the next time.
Below your bedside, it's hour 26.
The edges of our eyes, have yet to press a seal.
The pacing of footsteps have creased to skip a beat.
Numbers come and go, lines on the screen ebb and flow.
While death's breath brushes your face.
Struggle you may, suffer you may.
But this is not your time nor your place.
Breathe deep. Take your time. Rest your head. Ease your mind.
You'll never be alone. We'll never leave this bed.
I know you're scared but a heart like yours knows no end.
A cycling of hands twined with your fingers.
Silently saying that we're always with you.
And we'll never let go. We'll never let go.
You have to make it through or we're not certain of what we'll do.
Who will be there to warm our hearts and brighten our world on the darkest of nights?
So come back to us, let us leave this place.
Take you home, we'll share in our love and speak of what was.
And most dear of all, see that smile on your face.
The lyrics of Restore's song "1122" describe a situation in which someone is in a hospital bed, fighting for their life. The person's condition is unstable, and they are connected to machines that monitor their vital signs. The lyrics illustrate the tension and anxiety that comes with waiting for news about the patient's condition, as well as the love and support of those who are there to comfort them. Despite the bleakness of the situation, the lyrics offer a message of hope, reminding the person that they are not alone and that they have the strength to pull through.
The imagery in the song is both vivid and poignant. The opening lines describe the patient being "carefully cradled surrounded by life lines," while the "cage heaving, collapsing" presumably refers to the sound of the patient's breathing. The chorus encourages the patient to "breathe deep," while also reassuring them that they are not alone. The symbolism of the "cycling of hands twined with your fingers" suggests a bond between the patient and their loved ones that will endure even in the face of adversity.
