Shivers
Vermillion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I speak in sorrow.
I bit my tongue
I did everything to feel your pure love,
Your body in my arms.

There's so much heartache.
Our story got me by my throat
And with my back to the wall

I'm still carving for cure.

There's so much passion running through my body,
Thirsty for your love.
I'm ready to lose my halo,

Lose everything I'm proud of.

I swear, I just want to keep your blood from floating the boat,
But your ocean is endless.
I will fix your heart, stitch it with my veins.

Oh dear, I fear that I will drown this time.
Oh dear, I fear that I will drown this time.

She's like the rain,
Pouring down the bitter taste that she has felt,
Living in disenchantment.

She's losing the consciousness, she's losing her sight.
While bringing her back to live, I think I'm losing mine.

It sends cold shivers up and down my spine,
When I imagine that she is walking away hand in hand

With all my dreams, turning my life into sand.

She's like the rain,
Pouring down the bitter taste that she has felt,
Living in disenchantment.

I'm losing the consciousness,
I'm losing my sight.
Should I believe in providence or is it all just in my mind.

It sends cold shivers up and down my spine,
When I imagine that she is walking away hand in hand

With all my dreams, turning my life into sand.
Day by day with all my hopes, you're turning my life into sand.

While the riptide washes away the evidence
She stares into my eyes.
She stares into my eyes, her soul is ready to divide.




Still stumbling, last words from her lips:
"I love you but I've chosen darkness."
