story behind the song: the ever changing kaleidoscope imaging of personal relationships, life stories, presence and the refractions and deflections of society. or maybe just taking "bat out of hell" to another place lol.
Lyrics
left as for dead
out of his mind
seconds only seemed like years
forgotten instead
a season in time
locked away with all her fears
had to get out
had to get away
through the roof, reach for the moon
too tired to shout
too tired to wave
hope somebody rescues them soon
left him instead
without his mind
the years lost, leached or lessoned
forgotten tears wept
dreams were revived
and fantasies of never did happen
all was in doubt
a world of grey
where nothing was coloured or white
another ten count
the reasons to pray
could never stay upright to fight
left her bereft
(and she can't mind)
of emotions of trying to care
somehow like theft
or doing the time
she's at home but he isn't there
and so put out
like desire or rage
the fires of yesterday's fate
their ashes are found
spilled on this page
like the blood of soon or too late
