[Intro] (x2) [Verse 1] A sinking ship an awkward kiss A chance to set things straight. The kind of hurt that burns and burns Like fires we can’t contain. [Verse 2] We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice and there we’ll wait To start again with steady hands This time nothing gets in our way But as we peer a little closer what do we see? [Chorus]    A crack in the surface    A flaw in the plan                                                          (Plans we made together almost buried in the sand)    A cadence imperfect    Like a building condemned                                                                         (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don’t face what we’re against?) [Intro Riff] [Verse 3] A promise kept the dirt unswept A poorly worn disguise. A child unloved that then grows up To love what we despise. [Verse 4] We’re broken but still breathing we are wounded but we are healing. We pick up right where we left off Breathe on the ashes that remain So that these coals may become fire to guide our way. [Chorus]    A crack in the surface    A flaw in the plan                                                          (Plans we made together almost buried in the sand)    A cadence imperfect    Like a building condemned                                                                                   (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don’t face what we’re against?) [Interlude] I walk on wounds that seldom prove to slow me down I laugh this constant pain away so you can’t tell But there it lies under the smiles It drains me mile after mile But seldom proves to slow me down Here I go   Here I go   Here I go.   Should we just hold on To what remains of What we thought was lost. [Chorus]    A crack in the surface    A flaw in the plan                                                          (Plans we made together almost buried in the sand)    A cadence imperfect    Like a building condemned                                                                         (Can we indemnify ourselves if we don’t face what we’re against?)                                                                                 A crack in the surface    A crack in the surface. [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque des thèmes de blessures émotionnelles et de résilience face à l’adversité. Elle parle d’une relation marquée par des promesses non tenues et des failles, où des rêves communs semblent s’effondrer sous le poids des difficultés. Malgré ces obstacles, il y a une volonté de se relever et de reconstruire, de transformer les cendres d'un passé douloureux en une flamme d'espoir pour l'avenir. L'image de craquelures à la surface symbolise les imperfections et les luttes, tout en rappelant qu'il est possible de guérir et de continuer à avancer. Le message résonne avec ceux qui ont déjà traversé des épreuves, mettant en lumière l'importance de ne pas abandonner ce qui reste de précieux malgré la douleur.
