Lyrics
You opened doors
You initiated a new chapter or opportunity.
And reached for love
You sought love or connection.
They close again
Doors of opportunity or connection closed again.
Did you get enough?
Did the experience fulfill your expectations?
How long did we take
Time taken to transition from heartbreak to hate.
From heartbreak to hate
Emotional journey from heartbreak to hate.
From heartbreak to hate
Reiteration of the emotional journey.
You opened up expecting a fairy tale
Expecting a perfect love story.
That's a bad idea
Expressing that expecting a fairy tale is not wise.
I stumbled in a mumbling wreck
Entering a situation in a confused and unclear state.
With nothing clear
Without a clear understanding or direction.
Four sheets to the wind
Intoxicated or confused state.
They were after my skin
Threatened or pursued by others.
They were sniping for me
People trying to harm or criticize.
I was dead unlucky
Unluckiness in the situation.
How long did we take
Repetition of the time taken for the emotional transition.
From heartbreak to hate
Reiteration of the emotional journey.
From heartbreak to hate
Repeating the emotional transition from heartbreak to hate.
Heartbreak to hate(2x)
Emphasis on the journey from heartbreak to hate.
How long before I make sense of this?
Questioning the time it takes to understand the situation.
How long before I forget your kiss?
Wondering when the memory of a kiss will fade.
How long did we take from heartbreak to hate?
Repeating the inquiry about the time of emotional transition.
From heartbreak to hate
Reiteration of the emotional journey from heartbreak to hate.
Operator, the lines are dead
Communication breakdown, possibly in relationships.
Ringmaster, the lions are fed
Metaphor for control or authority figures being satisfied.
Your Honor, you know I was framed
Claiming innocence or unfair treatment in a situation.
Surrounded in this stupid game
Feeling trapped in a senseless or challenging situation.
But you wanted love
Desire for love.
You held on hard
Holding onto love tightly.
Couldn't give it up
Unable to let go of love.
Now baby stands alone tonight
A person facing loneliness or isolation.
Baby grasps for the love he might
Desperation for love.
Rejected, dejected
Feeling disappointed and let down.
Let down on everything he expected
Not meeting expectations in love.
How long did you take
Repeating the question of time taken for emotional transition.
From heartbreak to hate
Reiteration of the emotional journey from heartbreak to hate.
From heartbreak to hate
Repeating the emotional transition from heartbreak to hate.
Heartbreak to hate(2x)
Emphasis on the journey from heartbreak to hate.
How long from heartbreak to hate
Asking about the time taken for the emotional transition.
Heartbreak to hate
Repeating the emotional transition from heartbreak to hate.
Neither way
Uncertainty in choices.
And either way
Highlighting the lack of clear options.
Either way
Indicating two possible directions.
And neither way
Emphasizing the lack of escape.
Do we get away
No clear resolution or escape from the situation.
