Lyrics & meaning

Overall song meaning
This poignant song excerpt conveys the immense emotional torment of a lover left heartbroken without any explanation. He compares the memories left behind to sharp caltrop thorns embedded in his heart and a burning fire that destroys his peace. Unable to sleep or find solace, he feels stranded in life, holding onto the vivid image of her beauty while drowning in tears.
