Lyrics meaning

The speaker looks back on a relationship that once felt overwhelming but now seems difficult to understand. At first, they describe being deeply impressed and emotionally โ€œblindโ€; later, they reject contact and tell the other person to walk away. The repeated claim that they were โ€œso in loveโ€ sounds less like a celebration than an attempt to face how much the past has changed.

โ€œRunning blindโ€ suggests trusting someone without seeing their faults or recognizing that they may be manipulated. โ€œFall for every trickโ€ can mean being easily deceived, but it also hints that the speaker now views the relationship with suspicion. The image of โ€œheavenโ€ being cold without a soul contrasts the promise of perfect happiness with an emotional emptiness. Together, these images suggest that intense attraction did not necessarily bring warmth or genuine connection.

The lyrics do not give a full account of what happened, and the speaker may be hurt, angry, or trying to protect themselves. Their commands to avoid contact sound firm, yet the repeated refrain shows that the feelings still matter. The line about both people being in awe of each other also complicates the blame: the relationship may have involved mutual idealization, rather than one person simply deceiving the other.
