Crooked Frame
Unraveling the Crooked Frame: A Journey of Liberation
Lyrics
I'm glad you didn't stick
The speaker is relieved that the person didn't remain attached to them.
To my fingers like a tremble
Comparing the person's presence to a shaky, uncertain feeling.
A wasted fortune spent
Regret over wasted time and resources on things that didn't resonate emotionally.
On things we never felt inside
Investing in experiences or items that lacked genuine emotional connection.
I count the footsteps
Reflecting on the steps taken to distance oneself from the person.
That take me away from you
Counting the steps as a metaphor for leaving the relationship.
Because I stayed too long
Realization of spending too much time within a distorted or flawed situation.
Inside this crooked frame
Metaphorically trapped within a situation or relationship that's twisted or flawed.
I'm glad you didn't spend the night like you had promised
Expressing relief that the person didn't stay overnight as promised.
I'd have to stretch the truth to say that I was sorry
The speaker would have to lie to claim regret for the person's absence.
And now I laugh out loud at things that aren't that funny
Laughing at things that aren't genuinely humorous, indicating discomfort or inner turmoil.
Because I stayed too long inside this crooked frame
Feeling trapped or stuck due to an extended period in a flawed relationship.
I could burn my clothes and I would be alright
Expressing that discarding material items wouldn't affect the speaker negatively.
I could burn the photographs and be alright
Further emphasis that eliminating reminders of the person wouldn't cause distress.
I could burn the postcards, I would be alright
Highlighting that even discarding memories wouldn't deeply impact the speaker.
I could smile for the first time without thinking of you
Indicating a possibility of moving on and smiling without thoughts of the person.
I'm glad you didn't stick to my fingers like honey
Relieved that the person didn't emotionally cling to the speaker.
I'd have to stretch the truth to say that you were pretty
Acknowledging that exaggeration would be necessary to praise the person's appearance.
And now I laugh out loud at things that aren't quite funny
Laughing at things that aren't genuinely amusing, hinting at inner distress.
Because I stayed too long inside your crooked frame
Feeling trapped within the influence or impact of the person's twisted nature.
