Dear Eloise
Eloise's Betrayal: A Symphony of Broken Promises and Lost Light
Lyrics
Dear Eloise, this is it, this is all that's left
Expressing a sense of finality and loss, acknowledging that only remnants remain.
Along with the ugly wounds and the lies that I'll never forget
Acknowledging emotional wounds and enduring lies that are unforgettable.
Drowning under guilt, sinking empires we built, flimsy strings that you cut
Describing the weight of guilt, the collapse of once-strong empires, and the fragility of severed connections.
Burning up in flames, no more photos in frames, shadows at the door you shut
Portraying the emotional turmoil with imagery of burning up, absence of photos, and shadows from a closed door.
And I know I pushed you away
Admitting to pushing the person away.
Hidden memories that I'll lock away
Referring to memories intentionally concealed.
Insecurities light up ablaze
Highlighting insecurities that become apparent.
Tired, hollow hearts are bound to break
Expressing the inevitability of weary and fragile hearts breaking.
And my stars have gone to sleep it's been a long night
Metaphorically stating that personal "stars" or sources of light have dimmed, signifying a difficult period.
And you slammed the windows now I can't see light
Describing a situation where the windows are closed, blocking out light and clarity.
I'm waiting for scars to be healed by the tide
Waiting for healing, but expressing a desire to reverse past actions.
But I, I take it back, take it back, take it back; I'd press rewind
Expressing regret and a wish to undo past mistakes.
Dear Eloise, open your eyes, tears run like your lies
Addressing Eloise, urging her to acknowledge the emotional pain through the metaphor of tears and shattered trust.
And shattered trust is now dust, you don't just break, you paralyse
Stating that the impact is not just breaking, but paralyzing.
You made a promise that's hanging like your necklace round you while you hide
Referring to an unfulfilled promise, drawing a parallel to a hanging necklace.
You left me bleeding by the door then you walked out and locked me inside
Describing abandonment and confinement after a painful incident.
So don't you run away now you're awake
Encouraging Eloise not to escape from facing reality.
Got everybody falling for the smile you fake
Accusing Eloise of deceiving others with a fake smile.
Spotlight on you, 'ttention-seeking always
Pointing out attention-seeking behavior and a betrayal of trust.
You knew I needed you, so you burned the gate
Accusing Eloise of intentionally causing harm despite the need for support.
My stars have gone to sleep it's been a long night
Reiterating the metaphor of dimmed stars and a long night.
And you slammed the windows now I can't see light
Describing the inability to see light due to closed windows.
I'm waiting for scars to be healed by the tide
Waiting for healing but expressing a desire to rewind and undo past actions.
But I, I take it back, take it back, take it back; I'd press rewind
Repeating the desire to reverse past actions for emphasis.
Tape up my life, fixing broken insides
Metaphorically describing an attempt to mend internal brokenness.
It's not easy
Expressing the difficulty of the process of self-repair.
And I'm writing these lines, don't expect you to find
Communicating the act of expressing emotions through writing, with no expectation of being found or understood.
To find me

And my stars have gone to sleep it's been a long night
Repeating the metaphor of dimmed stars and a long night.
And you slammed the windows now I can't see light
Reiterating the inability to see light due to closed windows.
If you ever read this letter some night
Leaving a message for Eloise, emphasizing the emotional shutdown and darkness caused by her actions.
Know that you shut me out, now I can't see light
Highlighting Eloise's role in shutting the speaker out and causing emotional darkness.
I'm waiting for scars to be healed, tides to overflow

But I’m, I'm done with this, done with you
