Amongst Heroes - Elegy [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

The clock struck 4:45 when I closed my eyes
Now I awake, I see my life
Ordered by disarray, Rocked by the waters
Rocked by the broken waves
All my anchors have gone away

A handshake, a smile, and a warm embrace
Framed black and white
But this picture could never measure up
To my memory of you

And I'll treasure the times we had
But I can't help but regret that I wasted our days away
Your loss has taken all of my heart, my balance is gone
You are the only one who could bring me back
To my feet, but I'm alone

Set me straight again, I have lost all my direction
You stayed around to say goodbye
When the time came I disengaged

One errant choice was all that brought me a year
A year of remorse
I've sealed my fate
And every day, I'm forced to relive how I ran away
Ran away from you

There are so many things that I wish I could say
But instead here I am, standing before your grave

And I hope you know
That who you were is who I want to be
When I see you reaching out in my dreams
Its like you were never gone
The moment that we speak I know
Though its been so long
That none of my mistakes matter
You've brought me the peace I needed
To part with you

So set sail for one last time
Let these waves carry you beyond the tides
Rest and you will find
It won't be long until we meet again
But until that day comes
I'll hold you in my heart

All my anchors have gone

You should know
That everything you were has meant everything to me
