Tides of Emotion: A Poetic Dive into Love's Currents
Lyrics
I drank a little bit too much old Dutch to forget the clutch
I consumed too much alcohol (old Dutch) to try and forget the emotional grip (clutch) you had on me.
That you held around my chest when I said too much
Refers to a restrictive or suffocating emotional hold you had when I spoke too openly.
And the sea came in over both of us
A metaphorical description of a shared experience where difficulties arose and overwhelmed both individuals.
I went and bought that fucking jacket with the fur that you didn't like
I purchased a jacket with fur that you disliked, possibly as an act of rebellion or independence.
Took another dive just to see what it feels like
Took a risk or ventured into the unknown to understand the sensation or consequences.
Put my back up against the wall just to see right, see right
Placing oneself in a challenging situation to gain a clear perspective.
Though its been a while since I saw you
Expressing a significant passage of time since the last encounter with the person addressed.
A while since the sun's come out
Refers to a prolonged period without positive experiences or emotions.
I adore you, thoughts can't decode from mouth
Expressing deep affection, yet finding it difficult to articulate thoughts verbally.
You're alone too much when I'm all around
Feeling a sense of loneliness despite being in the company of the person.
Though the tides pull lately
Despite emotional challenges (tides), there's an effort to resist giving up completely.
I stop myself from giving up, completely
Struggling but not succumbing to the difficulties represented by the metaphorical tides.
And I've got this moon-shaped hole in my chest
Describing a profound emptiness or longing represented by a moon-shaped hole in the chest.
And you're dancing right inside of it
You, the person addressed, occupy a significant place in the emotional void.
These tides need time
Recognizing that overcoming challenges and healing emotional wounds requires time.
I thought a little bit too deep about the flaws and the sunset
Delving deeply into introspection about personal flaws and the passing of time.
Found another home where I'd go for the upset
Finding solace or comfort in a new place that brings emotional disturbance.
Cut a couple slits in my mind just to forget, forget
Metaphorically inflicting pain on oneself to cope with or forget emotional distress.
Though its been a while since you called me
Highlighting the extended period since receiving communication from the person.
A while since you tied my tongue
Expressing a sense of isolation and numbness after a period of highs.
It gets lonely, high so my mind is numb
Understanding and accepting the loneliness, attributing it to a completed chapter in life.
I don't blame you much, now that chapter's done
Acknowledging the end of a significant phase without assigning blame.
Though the tides pull lately
Similar to line 11, the struggle against emotional challenges (tides) continues.
I stop myself from giving up, completely
Despite challenges, there's a determination to resist complete surrender.
And I've got this moon-shaped hole in my chest
Reiteration of the moon-shaped void in the chest and the person's presence in it.
And you're dancing right inside of it
Emphasizing the ongoing dance between emotional tides and the person's influence.
These tides need time
Reiterating the need for time to navigate and overcome emotional challenges.
I've got a moon-shaped hole, I've got a moon-shaped hole
Repeating the imagery of a moon-shaped void in the chest as a recurring theme.
I've got a moon-shaped hole in my chest
Further emphasizing the persisting emotional void represented by the moon shape.
Oh the wave, oh the wave
A metaphorical wave symbolizing a significant emotional event or change.
I can't forget the song I'd sung
The lingering impact of a memorable song, possibly associated with the mentioned wave.
It was the beginning of the wave
Reflecting on the beginning of a transformative emotional event or experience.
I can't forget the song I'd sung
Repetition of the impact of a memorable song and its connection to the emotional wave.
These tides need time
Reiterating the necessity of time to navigate and understand the emotional challenges.
