Love this song. It's perfect for Wuthering Heights, especially since I'm a fan of both :)
Here's my take on how it relates to the book:
"Give me hope in silence
It's easier, it's kinder"
~one of the last scenes with Cathy and Heathcliff, he's holding her on the rocks they used to play on as children, and shut out their problems and the rest of the world, just being children again.
"Tell me not of heartbreak
It plagues my soul, it plagues my soul"
~Heathcliff was angry at Cathy when she claimed to be heartbroken about the fact she married Edgar instead.
"And bury me beside you
I have no hope in solitude"
~When she dies, he dies inside with her
"And the world will follow
To the earth down below"
~He kind of goes insane with her death, even digging up her grave to sleep next to her.
"But I came and I was nothing
Time will give us nothing"
~He was an orphaned "moor" boy when he arrived, and as time goes on, the more distant and desperate they become
"So why did you choose to lean on
A man you knew was falling?"
~Edgar, the man she married for money and status, let Cathy bully him. Her only match was Heathcliff.
