Circa Survive – Through The Desert Alone lyrics

Sounds to me like a relationship with potential that was supposed to amount to more was destroyed, but both are too prideful to admit they want it back:.
What was stolen from us
now is forever lost
just because we'll never pay the ransom.
And he blames himself for letting it go so long, and ending it in the first place:.
I put it off for so long, I put it off
and now I've got to live with what I made
forever.
And is coming around and admitting what it meant to him in the first place:.
Eaten up in the night
I can't keep this up much longer without
needing more from you
I need more.
And realizing what he had:.
How did you stay so sweet? Cause you were my ally once
you were my confidante
I need somebody close
to be close to
forever.
Agree/disagree any other ideas?

man this is crazy.
i really feel like this whole album is so esoteric in nature and completely dives into the feelings of feeling lost under the control of forces at play that are beyond our apparent comprehension and how it/they/whatever steals our energy, souls, fates, etc from us (or rather): the unexplainable and phenomena of experiences that some people go through.. and once you experience things of the unknown or things that defy all we know and can see... it creates utter turmoil to the psyche and you feel like you can never regain that back because its symultaneously priceless of an experience but it's also like being robbed of your sanity and your peace with what you see and experience in the world from that point further. Feeling like a puppet on the strings connected to something you can't even see. Or to not know if that's the case and the constant going back and forth. And if it is God, a deity, or aliens or what-have-you... you also almost feel that innate and preprogrammed sense to be close to it. To develop a relationship with it for not only the benefit suiting to the physical-experience of the ego... but also because of that constant yearn that anyone who believes in a higher power has- the infinite and forever connection between the creator and the created. To know that whatever made you and has you going this way or the other is really there and really something(someone) to be close to, confide in, and to be yourself completely as the way they intended..... and the going back inforth between that and the droning thought that whatever that source may be... all experiences considered... might not have your best interest and may just be feeding on the weaker species. I know that's out there. But considering the art work, the album name... and the song titles... I mean? Anthony has some extremely profound lyrics that are super existentialist as well as enlightening and satire at the same time. And anyone that says this album isn't as good as the rest is a FUCKING IDIOT. It's literally gold. Now I don't know how he thinks nor does he display it bluntly to his listeners... but if you really listen... or you really connect with what he says... you'll see he goes deeper than deep man.
