Lyrics meaning

The lyrics present love as a space of freedom in a world that seems rejecting or restrictive. The speaker and the person addressed find openness and truth together. The feeling begins amid tears, then rises into something strong and hopeful; later, the speaker says he has rediscovered his companion, suggesting renewed closeness.

Several images make this change vivid. โ€œThe immensityโ€ opening around the couple suggests a suddenly wider sense of possibility. Love โ€œflies overโ€ peopleโ€™s accusations, implying that their bond can rise above judgment and inherited attitudes. The image of stones that were once houses, now covered with wild roses, suggests abandoned places becoming alive again: what seemed lost or empty can recover and offer shelter.

The โ€œghosts of the pastโ€ are pictured as a covering that falls away, leaving a clean image. This may mean that old pain or memories no longer obscure the coupleโ€™s present, though the lyrics do not explain exactly what those ghosts are. The songโ€™s freedom is also intimate rather than simply rebellious: the speaker offers to remain beside his companion if she wants. The repeated images of renewal support a hopeful reading, while leaving the past and the exact nature of the relationship open to interpretation.
