[Intro] [Verse 1] Model house life meltdown Still a modern dream letdown It kills me you know I’m dying out here What would you trade the pain for? I’m not sure We were a hammer to the Statue of David We were a painting you could never frame and You were the sunshine Of my lifetime What would you trade the pain for? [Pre-Chorus] This city always hangs a little bit lonely on me Loose Like a kid playing pretend in his father’s suit I’d never go I just want to be invited Oh Got to give up   Get the feeling Get the feeling Don’t fight it Fight it [Chorus] Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse And I just about snapped Don’t look back Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand Love from the other side of the apocalypse And I just about snapped Don’t look back Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand [Verse 2] Generation sleep I’m falling in and out of love I’m getting that tilted feeling out here What would you trade the pain for? I’m not sure Nowhere left for us to go but heaven Summer falling through our fingers again and You were the sunshine Of my lifetime What would you trade the pain for? [Pre-Chorus] They say we gotta get ahead yeah No matter what it takes But there’s no way off the hamster wheel on this rat race I’d never go I just want to be invited Oh Got to give up   Get the feeling Get the feeling Don’t fight it Fight it [Chorus] Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse And I just about snapped Don’t look back Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand Love from the other side of the apocalypse And I just about snapped Don’t look back Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand [Bridge] I saw you in a bright clear field Hurricane heat in my head The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end Good in the end Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain: “Give up what you love   Give up what you love before it does you in…” [Chorus] Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse And I just about snapped Don’t look back Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand Love from the other side of the apocalypse And I just about snapped Don’t look back Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand Sending my love         Sending my love

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les défis des relations amoureuses dans un monde souvent chaotique. Elle parle de la douleur et du sacrifice que l’on endure par amour, tout en se sentant un peu perdu dans une réalité urbaine qui semble vide et solitaire. L’artiste s’interroge sur la valeur de la souffrance et sur ce qu’il serait prêt à échanger pour ne plus ressentir cette douleur, tout en se remémorant des souvenirs d'amour radieux malgré les épreuves. Le contexte fait référence à une génération qui lutte pour trouver un sens dans un monde en crise, où l'on est constamment confronté à des choix difficiles. La mention de l'apocalypse symbolise un tournant ou une prise de conscience que l'on traverse, mais l'espoir d'un amour durable et lumineux reste présent, même au milieu des ténèbres.
