Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you appear
I'm drawn to you my dear
I dream of you
No chains can bind me
In this dream I'll keep you forever mine
Until the end of time
I was longing for your blessing
But you were a devil in disguise
My sweet mistress of despair
You turned my dreams into lies
I follow you to the darker side of night
You take my hand and pull me closer
I realize there's no way I can wake
In my dreams I'm longing for your sin
The warmth of your caress
I was longing for your blessing:
You were a devil in disguise
Turned my dreams into lies
Until the end of time
In this dream I'll keep you forever mine
Until the end of time
In this dream I'll keep you forever mine
Forever, Forever
In this dream I'll keep you forever mine
The lyrics of Chains by To Die For embody a passionate and tempestuous love story that appears to be almost surreal. The lines "When I close my eyes, I see you appear, I'm drawn to you my dear, I dream of you, no chains can bind me," introduce the listener to a dreamlike state where the singer is so deeply in love that they feel almost boundless. The lyrics create the impression that the love felt by the singer is all-encompassing and nothing can contain it, even metaphorical chains.
However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this love is far from perfect. The lines "I was longing for your blessing, but you were a devil in disguise, my sweet mistress of despair, you turned my dreams into lies," suggest that there is an imbalance in the relationship. The singer feels betrayed by the very person they adore so deeply. This twist in the lyrics also reveals the duality of the relationship, where love and deception seem intertwined.
The chorus of the song, "Until the end of time, in this dream I'll keep you forever mine," highlights the singer's desperation to retain a love that seems to be slipping away. In conclusion, Chains by To Die For is a love song that reflects the complexities of human relationships. The lyrics paint a picture of an intense and complicated love that may ultimately lead to heartbreak.

Memories of you
Haunt me every day
A never healing wound
And nothing left to say
I die a little every day, I die a little anyway
For the memories, for Hell inside of me
No true emotions
No true regrets
No true devotion can live off bitterness
My hollow inside
My hollow heart
My restless soul is longing to depart
Come surround me with your grace
Wash away my deep disgrace
Take me in to your sweet embrace
Where I can live in sin
I die a little anyway, I die a little every day
For the memories, for Hell inside of me
No true emotions in my hollow heart
