In a hauntingly beautiful ballad, The Civil Wars weave a tale of two souls trapped in the shadows of their own loneliness. This song is an intimate plea for connection, breaking through the walls we've built to shield our hearts. It speaks to the pain of isolation, masked by perfectly crafted facades and well-rehearsed lies. Yet, there's hope in vulnerability—an invitation to let someone in, to light a match and watch those barriers crumble into dust. It's about finding solace in shared scars and dancing around the flames of past hurts together. Reflecting each other's sorrow, they recognize that true healing comes from understanding and mutual companionship. In this poignant narrative, loneliness isn't just endured; it's transformed into a bond that promises liberation and renewal.
