Two For The Postscript
Unraveling Illusions: Annika Jivery's Two For The Postscript
Lyrics
I have constructed something fake
I have created something artificial or deceptive.
Built it a bed
I provided a place for this deception to exist.
Given it a name
I assigned a name to this deceptive creation.
How much of it was real?
Questioning the authenticity of what was created.
How much of it ain't?
Questioning the extent to which it is genuine.
Say God comes when you need Him
Suggesting a hypothetical scenario where God intervenes when needed.
Think I met Him last May
Claiming to have encountered God in May.
Part of me wants to still believe
Conflicted feelings about maintaining belief in God.
Elaborate joke, a five-star scheme
Describing life as a complex and elaborate joke or scheme.
I would've paid to win
Expressing a willingness to pay for success.
The fall from grace, it cost a losing fee
Acknowledging the cost of a downfall and the price paid for mistakes.
She cries during the movie
Someone, possibly the narrator, cries during a movie.
Think I met Him last May
Repetition of meeting God in May, indicating a recurring theme.
Think I met Him last May
-Think I met Him again today
Repetition of meeting God today, suggesting a current encounter.
(Think I met Him last May)
-(Think I met Him again today)
-I am a sucker in a room
Feeling vulnerable or gullible in a situation or environment.
Cathedral full of prayer's blues
Being in a space filled with a sense of melancholy or longing.
Daily did I kneel
Regularly participating in prayer.
How much was a ruse?
Doubting the sincerity of previous actions or rituals.
I crossed a line on a feeling
Crossing a moral or emotional boundary based on a feeling.
I'm an open-shut case
Being an easy or obvious case due to being emotionally closed.
Love, it costs a life
Love is emotionally and personally costly.
But two for the postscript, I'd say
Suggesting that two lives are sacrificed for an additional note or thought (postscript).
Think I met Him last May
Repetition of meeting God, emphasizing a past and present connection.
Think I met Him again today
-Think I met Him last May
Repetition of meeting God, highlighting a recurring theme.
(Think I met Him again today)
-(Think I met Him last May)
Repetition of meeting God, reinforcing the theme of encounters.
Think I met Him again today
-(Think I met Him last May)
Repetition of meeting God, continuing the theme of ongoing encounters.
Think I met Him again today
