We gather medicine for heartache
So we can act a fool
It's incomplete without you
The silver soul is running through
It's a vision, complete illusion, yeah
The needle along the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coil
It gathers heat without you,
Whether or not you're turned from it
It's a quick turn
To let it figure out
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
The bodies lying in the sand,
They're moving in the dark
It is so quick to let us,
We feel it move through our skin
It's a sickness, a manic weakness, yeah
It is happening again
So we can act a fool
It's incomplete without you
The silver soul is running through
It's a vision, complete illusion, yeah
The needle along the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coil
It gathers heat without you,
Whether or not you're turned from it
It's a quick turn
To let it figure out
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
The bodies lying in the sand,
They're moving in the dark
It is so quick to let us,
We feel it move through our skin
It's a sickness, a manic weakness, yeah
It is happening again

"It's incomplete without you"
The needle is gathering heat. "It's a sickness, a manic weakness.."
The outro of this song breaks my heart. So good live.
Soon we can act a fool,
It's incomplete without you,
The silver soul is burning,
It's a vision, complete illusion,
Yeah.
We need to load the spinning wheel,
Collecting silver coil,
It gathers heat without you,
Within a nous you turn from him,
It's a quick turn,
To let us in your eye.
Deal has happened again,
It is happening again,
It has happened again,
It is happening again.
The body's lying in the silt,
They're moving in the dark,
It is so quick to let us,
We feel it move through our skin,
It's a sickness, a manic quickness,
Yeah.
It is happening again,
It is happening again,
It is happening again,
It is happening again,
It is happening again,
It is happening again,
It is happening again.

A song about someone who has sold their soul to the devil, and then later regrets it and tries to win back their soul, with no success. In the closing of the song the devil has claimed the soul.
The ancient greek philosopher plato, in his work the republic, argues that three components comprise the human soul-- "the rational" which desires wisdom, "the spirited" which seeks honor and triumph, and "the appetitive" which pursues "base" desires such as sex and food.
Plato divided humanity into classes based on which component of their soul (the rational, spirited, or appetitive) was most dominant.
-People who are predominantly rational, who seek wisdom and truth, he called "gold souls" and Plato believed this was the class of people most suited to rule and govern-- as they would use their rational tendencies to make wise decisions for the benefit of all people.
-Those people who are driven primarily by appetite Plato called "bronze souls," and these people (the majority of society) are those who form the bottom layer, workers and farmers who are satisfied as long as their basic needs are met.
-People who are driven by spirit Plato called..... "Silver souls." He envisioned the silver souls as a noble warrior class of honor and courage. A silver soul would fight with honor to defend the people of his society.

I wonder if Victoria and Alex have read Plato, or if this is coincidental. Either way its interesting. Perhaps the song is somehow about courage or honor? Being a "silver soul" and fighting for something, a relationship or person perhaps?
"We gather matters of the heart
So we can act a fool"
She copes by self medicating (possibly alcohol) and is trying to get back her old life, where she was young and carefree
"It's incomplete without you"
She cant get back to herself. She feels incomplete without him in her life
"The sliver soul is running through
It's a vision
complete illusion yea"
Here, it seems like she has an encounter with her lover. However, she is in denial and trys to explain its just an illusion
"The needle on the spinning wheel
Collecting silver coil
It gathers heat without you
Whether or not you're turned from it,"
It sounds like right here, she is trying to communicate with her lover by playing music that the two enjoyed together. Even though he isn't physically there she feels the connection with him( it gathers heat)
It's a quick turn
to let us in yea"
Here she is letting go of her skepticism and quickly lets his presence in
"It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again
It is happening again"
This either means the two are just talking and falling back in love, or they are making love
"The bodies lying in the sand
They're moving in the dark"
He convinced her to kill herself so the two could be together forever. The two haunt the night together
"It is so quick to let us in
Feel it moving through our skin"
The two make love while they are dead, and though they are dead, their love allows them to feel alive
"It's a sickness, a manic weakness yea"
Here it sounds like others view her as crazy, even mentally ill for doing what she did
Thats just my opinion. I also think teen dream tells their story. They start out by falling in love(10 mile stereo). Then he cheats on her (Zebra) and she doesnt forgive him at first (Norway), but they get back together. However, things aren't the same (used to be, better times). He then contracts a terminal illness and she realizes she still loves him and always had (real love) and she decides to take care of him during his final years (Take care). He then dies and she initially try's to forget about him (Walk in the park), but then she realizes there is in afterlife (walk in the park, silver soul) and ends up killing herself to be with him. Think about it people...
The owls are not what they seem.
