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. โThe immensityโ opening around the couple suggests a suddenly wider sense of possibility. Love โflies overโ peopleโs 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 โghosts 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 coupleโs present, though the lyrics do not explain exactly what those ghosts are. The songโs 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.
