But that makes her a bit unstable and she tells him that she doesn't think she can handle the heartbreak at the end. Said, understand that if you're cold I'll keep you warm" He still thinks she's perfect despite her mental illnesses: "And besides, there's so much beauty in a storm" he then tells her he loves her and to trust him and place all her confidence in him. She then tells him of her battle with her mental illnesses and he tells her that he's going to keep her safe and make sure she's happy: "Out where the stones lay like bones by the ocean But she's terrified of getting bad again. The "waves" of depression are barley there. But at first she is stable and her mental illnesses are at bay. My InterpretationI saw the "ocean" as the girls battle with depression/various mental illnesses growing stronger and stronger. In my opinion, this song is beautiful, a great metaphoric story of love and death <3 He believes even the angels will be jelous of the amount of love they have for eachother. He believes his love for her will bring them back together one day The whole way through the song he seems to love her and when she dies, he loves her even more. There was a moment where they thought she might live but she didn't. 'He watched her hand break through the surface once The storm could be when they found her but then: With all the references about the ocean, I would say she drowned. Either she went through something difficult and he didn't help her or she didn't tell him and she couldn't take it anymore.

I have two ideas about the meaning to this though: She helped him through difficult times and they fell in love. General CommentI agree that this is a metaphor but I think she still dies. He watched her hand break through the surface onceįorever wait inside the sea for my, my dear He could not break apart the waves to bring her safely back in The lovers struggled in the middle of the tempestĪnd water angrily crawled up onto the beachīut the tide clung like an anchor to her feetĪnd though he tried to make the water line recede Out where the waves make a grave of the sea Out where the stones stand up like thrones beside the ocean You think some seraph up above is trying to rob us of our love Said, understand that if you're cold I'll keep you warmĪnd besides, there's so much beauty in a storm

Someone was trembling for fear of the tempest Out where the waves crash contempt on the land Out where the stones lay like bones by the ocean
