She had an earthquake on her mind
I almost heard her cry out as I left her far behind
And knew the world was crashing down around her
I sink to the ocean floor because I know that we are more but, I've made this mess
I built this fire, Are you still mine?
Cause baby I'm not all right when you go
I'm not fine,
Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours so please be all mine.
She had an earthquake on her mind apparently the kind that would bury us alive
By putting all this weight on us forever
I lie here on the ocean floor broken castle by the shore and
I made this mess
I built this fire, Are you still mine?
Cause baby I'm not all right when you go
I'm not fine, Please be all mine
I never want you to go because
I am all yours so please be all mine.
Let me save us
I've slaughtered us, I've murdered our love
I can taste it, This blood in my mouth
This knife in my lungs
Have I murdered our love?
Please be all mine
Cause baby I'm not all right when you go
I'm not fine, Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours so please be all mine. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/u/used/earthquake.html ]
This song is describing a relationship gone wrong. The relationship seems to be ruined by the singer, as it is hinted to in the line " i made this mess, i built this fire ". The "earthquake" in this song is probably the break up. The line " apparently the kind that would bury us alive " describes how badly the relationship was ruined, in this case it was ruined beyone the point of repair. The singer is asking for forgiveness as he wants the woman back. Now when the singer speaks of the ocean, as in " i sink now to the ocean floor... I lie here on the ocean floor " he is talking about the choice of death or suicide he wishes to take for destroying the relationship.
