Ravage
Skeleton Hands Lyrics

These are streets
The setting of the song is on a street.

Midwestern dreams
The dreams of living in the Midwest are present.

Have all gone away
Those dreams have vanished.

You had your chance
There was an opportunity in the past.

Now it's gone
That opportunity is now lost.

And you are to blame
Someone is responsible for the loss.

We had our chance
The opportunity was shared.

Now it's all gone
It has disappeared for both parties.

And you are all to blame
Both parties share responsibility for the loss.

I still remember what she said
The singer recalls a conversation with someone.

Only regret the negative
There is regret but it is focused on the negative aspects.

But something wants me to the follow
Despite the regret, the singer is drawn to something.

Desolate dreams
The dreams are now hopeless.

Midwestern streets
The streets of the Midwest are still present.

Are all empty
There is now a sense of vacancy.

You and i
The singer addresses someone directly.

We tried oh we tried
Both parties made an effort.

And now there's nothing here
Despite the effort, there is now an absence of anything meaningful.

I don't regret the time we spent
The singer doesn't regret spending time together.

Only the knife that's in my back
There was betrayal or hurt felt.

But something wants me to follow
Despite the hurt, the singer is still drawn to something.

Follow...
The song ends with a plea to follow that elusive something.
