This love is about theft and worship and sex and time.

This song are harsh truths about the things I have and the things I don't have.

This is the song I wrote about the mother of my child. It tells the story of how no matter how hard I’ve tried to be there for her to support her and I love her all I asked was that she loved me and return and how sometimes that dream doesn’t come true.

The lyrics tell a poignant story of encountering someone with captivating beauty and personality, only to witness the cruelty of hate that can mar and alter lives forever. The contrast between the initial admiration and the subsequent horror of the acid attack is stark and powerful. The resolve to stand by the victim and offer support and care despite adversity speaks to themes of compassion and resilience. It's a call to action, urging people to confront the darkness with empathy and understanding. The lyrics evoke strong emotions and provoke reflection on the destructive impact of hate and the importance of solidarity and kindness in combatting it.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a mystical experience in the heart of nature, personifying nature as a queen. The imagery evokes a sense of enchantment and wonder, with references to ancient trees, the sun as a painter, and the virgin gift of the forest breeze. The chorus emphasizes the escape from mental turmoil and the intertwining of dreams and reality, suggesting a retreat into the subconscious where the boundaries between the two blur. Overall, it celebrates the power of nature to inspire awe and provoke introspection, on the journey of self-discovery and spiritual awareness.
