The Archer
Bittersweet Echoes: Unraveling Love's Archer in Adam Melchor's Melody
Lyrics
Wasted on the floor again and no one seems to mind
Feeling wasted and unnoticed on the floor, perhaps in a state of emotional distress.
I can go back out and that would take up too much time
Choosing not to go back out, as it would consume too much time.

Continuing to call out a name, likely the name of someone significant, while feeling vulnerable and down.
How I miss the colors of the leaves that grow in spring

cnd how you used to dance upon the rain and I would sing
Recalling a time when someone danced in the rain, and the singer would sing, highlighting a past joyful experience.
How i'd give most anything to watch you twirl around for one more time
Expressing a deep longing to witness a specific person twirl around once more.
I need more time

-The shrapnel of my faith in you is cutting through my skin

cnd somewhere in the mess around my body it begins

So I'll enjoy the fire
