Lyric Breakdown 1

Come with Me - Chxrlette

 

On the day heaven tried to take my soul
You came down like in fairytales of old
I said "open your white wings for me"
And you said "close your eyes and just believe"

 
Serena would likely not have gotten very far without the opportunity this group gave to her. Whether or not she could admit it, they saved her life. Openly she would say that she is traveling to continue her pilgrimage and that it is the will of the gods that she continues, but in her heart, she doesn’t want to return no matter how important it is that she does.
 
I really like the idea that “close your eyes and believe” is part of the sales pitch Kingston gave to her.
 
 

You're made of darkness and fire, my friend
I think the world may be coming to an end
But when heaven and hell do collide
Know that I'll always be there by your side
 
You know I'd follow you through hell and fight off demons as well
You beat your wings and cast a spell, I'll run away with you

 
I see this as a conversation between Serena and Sly. She is not just forgiving him for his past, but she is reassuring him that she never hated him or blamed him. She loves him and she doesn’t care if he’s not perfect, she accepts him for all of it. Sailor, Thief, broken child, he’s not one of those things, he's all of them.
 

And I said
Hallelujah, running to you
They won't find us, you and I can watch the stars fall from the sky
All clothed in white, my shard of light
Let's go together, we'll be free
The world ends eventually, so come with me

 
Continuing with the Sly theme, This section is very much Serena happily staying with him. ‘They won’t find us’ is referring to the other clerics and Serena trying to keep from going back to the monastery. If he could leave and live a successful life so could she.
 
She is experiencing wonders on this adventure that she could have never imagined before.
 
 

Take my hand and we'll face the end of time
Let's take a stand against fate's design
I said I can't bear to see the end
And you said close your eyes and count to ten

 
This segment reminds me of the cave incident in a non-literal sense. Between Serena and Tony trying to comfort each other despite going through a horrible encounter
 

And after six thousand years if the world disappears
I'd fight angels and demons to find you, my dear
I hear heavenly sounds in my head when you're near
I'm alright now you're here
 
And I said
Hallelujah, running to you
We've escaped them, you and I can fly away and paint the sky
All clothed in white, my shard of light
Let's go together, now we're free
The world ends eventually, so come with me

 
Serena is fully invested in this group. She doesn’t want to leave any of them despite the arguments and tensions. This is the closest thing to a family that she has ever actually known.
 
She will take all the bad with the good if it means she can stay the way she is right now forever.
