Mosaic
Shattered Reflections: Mosaic of Love and Betrayal
Lyrics
There were sirens all around me and I chose to ignore them
Feeling surrounded by warnings or signs (sirens) but choosing to disregard them.
Maybe I need glasses cause the flags were waving right in front of my face
Suggesting a lack of clarity or awareness, possibly needing a new perspective (glasses) to see evident problems.
I let you get the best of me
Admitting to being influenced negatively by someone or something.
Cause I thought you were the best for me, but clearly I was wrong
Mistakenly believing that the person or situation was the right choice.
You were only looking for something to enjoy because you're bored
Realizing that the other person was seeking enjoyment and using the speaker for that purpose.
While I willingly let you use me then throw me out the door
Consenting to being used and discarded willingly.
I never should've tried to fix you, now I'm broken
Regretting attempting to fix the other person, resulting in personal brokenness.
You left me shattered, clinging to what's left unstolen
Feeling emotionally shattered and holding onto what hasn't been taken away.
Now I'm picking up the pieces to clean up the mess you made
Working to recover and clean up the aftermath of the other person's actions.
Yeah broken glass makes a mosaic, or it cuts you like a blade
Comparing the aftermath to a mosaic made of broken glass, emphasizing the pain it causes.
Yeah I know it was a couple months ago
Acknowledging the passage of time since the negative experience.
(Let it go)
Suggesting a need to let go of the past and move forward.
And honestly I haven't thought about you til I saw you on my phone
Unexpectedly recalling the person upon seeing them on the phone.
You looked so damn happy
Noting the other person's apparent happiness, causing discomfort for the speaker.
And I hate to see you happy, while I'm just a mess
Expressing dissatisfaction with one's own state while witnessing the other's happiness.
You were only looking for something to enjoy because you're bored
Reiterating that the other person used the speaker for enjoyment.
While I willingly let you use me then throw me out the door
Repeating the speaker's willingness to be used and discarded.
I never should've tried to fix you, now I'm broken
Reemphasizing regret for trying to fix the other person, resulting in personal brokenness.
You left me shattered, clinging to what's left unstolen
Reiterating the emotional impact of feeling shattered and trying to retain what's left.
Now I'm picking up the pieces to clean up the mess you made
Continuing the process of picking up the pieces and cleaning up the mess.
Yeah broken glass makes a mosaic, or it cuts you like a blade
Restating the metaphor of broken glass, highlighting the painful nature of the experience.
And yeah I'm sorry I'm a little bit bitter but can you blame me
Acknowledging bitterness in the speaker's emotions and asking for understanding.
And you can spare me your excuses
Rejecting the need for excuses from the other person.
Just fuck off and leave me be
Expressing a desire for the other person to leave and not disturb the speaker.
How could you lie straight to my face
Questioning the honesty of the other person and feeling betrayed.
Guess I am easily replaced
Feeling easily replaceable and hurt by the other person's actions.
Your empty promises left me all high and dry
Reflecting on broken promises and feeling abandoned.
I never should've tried to fix you, now I'm broken
Reiterating regret for attempting to fix the other person and the resulting brokenness.
You left me shattered, clinging to what's left unstolen
Repeating the emotional impact of feeling shattered and trying to retain what's left.
Now I'm picking up the pieces to clean up the mess you made
Continuing the process of picking up the pieces and cleaning up the mess.
Yeah broken glass makes a mosaic, or it cuts you like a blade
Reiterating the metaphor of broken glass, highlighting the painful nature of the experience.
I never should've tried to fix you, now I'm broken
Reiterating regret for attempting to fix the other person and the resulting brokenness.
You left me shattered, clinging to what's left unstolen
Repeating the emotional impact of feeling shattered and trying to retain what's left.
Now I'm picking up the pieces to clean up the mess you made
Continuing the process of picking up the pieces and cleaning up the mess.
Yeah broken glass makes a mosaic, or it cuts you like a blade
Concluding with the metaphor of broken glass, underlining the lasting pain.
