Quoted By:
The lyrics are about her cycle of withdrawal and self-destruction.
>Face to face with time again
After a period of isolation she inevitably returns to find time has moved forward without her. Or maybe the cycle is tied to a real time event like a season changing or something to that effect, some sort of illness.
>We walk once more to the end
She knows where this path leads. Each time it might be the last.
>Burn it down, burn it down
Destroying relationships and expectations. A desire to reset everything and start fresh. Perhaps self-destructive or at least self-sabotaging.
>Waves can't put out my flame
When she's in her destructive phase nobody else can stop her.
>Death will never write my name
She alone decides her own fate. She continues to burn and suffer but won't get fully consumed.
>Voices rise in my head
>The hands that pull at my thread
>Let them drown, burn it down
The hands are fears, anxieties, expectations, and they are pulling at her "thread" trying to break her.
Her internal voices tell her to get rid of them in the only way she knows, by being destructive.
>Wait for wash in the tide
>In the abyss is where I will hide
>Let them drown, burn it down
She's directly talking about withdrawal and isolation.
