Transcript

High dive into frozen waves
Where the past comes back to life
Fight fear for the selfish pain
It was worth it every time
Hold still right before we crash
Cause we both know how this ends
Our clock ticks till it breaks your glass
And I drown in you again

oooh, tim tim oh
oooh, tim tim oh


Cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy
Why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity?

tim oh
tragedy
ooh oh
remedy
tim oh
insanity
tim oh


Walk on through a red parade
And refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us
Forget all common sense
Don't speak as I try to leave
Cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull, then I'll push too deep
And I'll fall right back to you

Cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why

If our love is tragedy
Why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity?

tragedy, tragedy, tragedy
remedy
insanity
clarity

ahh
remedy

If our love is tragedy
Why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity?

Explanations

HIGH DIVE= To dive is to jump into water head first. To high dive is to dive from a very high place.

FROZEN= Very very cold (literally means turned into ice)


WAVES= Sea water in motion (see picture)

COMES BACK TO LIFE= Becomes alive or real again.

SELFISH= If you are selfish, you only think of what is good for you and don’t care about other people.

IT WAS WORTH IT EVERY TIME= It was always a good thing to do.
If something is “worth it”, that means that all the effort you put into it makes sense because the result is very good or important.

HOLD STILL= Don’t move, stop.

RIGHT BEFORE WE CRASH= We can use RIGHT to emphasize expressions of place and time (e.g. I need it right here, right now = immediately). “Right before” means “exactly the moment before...” To CRASH is when two things collide, hit each other powerfully and one (or both) are destroyed.

CAUSE= (coll.) Because.

OUR CLOCK TICKS= Our time passes by.

TILL= (conversational) Until.

DROWN= If you drown, you are under water and you can’t breathe, so you can die.

WISH= We use “wish + past tense” to express a wish.
- I wish I didn’t need it = I don’t want to need it
- I wish it rained = I need rain
- He wished he had a bigger house = He wants to have a bigger house
The difference between WISH and WANT is that WISH usually expresses something which is very hard or impossible to get.

CHASING= Running after something in order to get it.
- The lion chased the gazelle but the gazelle finally escaped.

RELENTLESSLY= Nonstop, always trying, with no break.

REMEDY= A remedy for something is what can cure it or solve that problem; the antidote.

INSANITY= Craziness. If you are insane, you are crazy.

CLARITY= The ability to see things clearly, to see life as it really is, with no distortion or confusion. The ability to think correctly.

WALK ON= Continue walking.
The particle ON usually expresses the idea that the action continues.

PARADE= Procession.

TO MAKE AMENDS= To compensate for something wrong you did.

COMMON SENSE= Correct and logical judgment or thought.

AS= When; while.
