You have loved
You were not alone
You have braved the weather
When the storm cut you to the bone
There was always shelter

My secred friend
I'll take you to the river
My secred friend
We can swim forever

In your skin
To die a little death
This time there's no code word
When everyday frays in hollow ends
Dream sweet love submersive

    My Interpretation

    There's definitely an element of sex and control in this one. Uninhibited.

    Maybe they're having sex in/by the river. Or it's all metaphorical. They're "submersing" themselves in a very secret liaison, suspended in time where they can sin ["swim"] forever [die a little death in your skin = 'petit mort' slang for orgasm in French]; "there's no code word" = S&M kinkiness. Well.

    Love the slight eerie quality in this one... If you're submerged in water in the dark, with your lover it would be like going back to the womb. I think in some cultural tale/myth/belief [Japanese maybe?] that if two star-crossed lovers cannot bear to be apart and commit suicide, they will reincarnate as twins in their next life together.
