The Crows Came In
Fading Bonds: Audrye Sessions' Tale of Disillusionment
Lyrics
The crows came in to watch us stand
The crows symbolize observers witnessing a situation unfold.
Pretending to be friends of mine
There is a sense of pretense or false friendship among those being observed.
And I don't think I like them anymore
The speaker is expressing a dislike for the crows, possibly representing a negative external influence.
The clock goes off, it's close to eight
The clock signaling the start of the day, possibly implying routine or a specific event.
I'm waking up alone today
The speaker wakes up alone, suggesting solitude or separation.
And I don't think I like this anymore
The speaker no longer likes the current situation or state of being alone.
She said Baby, you know
A dialogue where someone advises the speaker that a change is becoming noticeable.
It seems it's starting to show
The change in the situation is starting to become apparent.
But if you wash your hands of me,
A warning that severing ties will have lasting consequences.
Things will never be the way they're supposed to be.
The impact of ending the relationship will affect the expected course of events.
So we drove off to New Orleans
A shift in location to New Orleans, possibly seeking a fresh start or change.
To paint their wreck with the songs we'd sing
The act of painting their wreck with songs implies an effort to revive or salvage something.
For nothing more than payment with a smile
The payment with a smile suggests doing things for joy rather than material gain.
And a clock goes off, it's close to eight
A repetition of the earlier clock reference, highlighting a recurring theme.
And she's waking up alone today
Another instance of waking up alone, emphasizing a sense of loneliness or separation.
And I don't think she likes me anymore
The speaker believes the other person no longer likes them.
I said Baby, you know
The speaker advises the other person that they should have left the situation earlier.
You should've walked out long ago
A reflection on missed opportunities or delayed actions.
But if you wash your hands of me,
A repetition of the warning about the consequences of ending the relationship.
Things will never be the way they're supposed to be.
The lasting impact on the expected course of events if the relationship ends.
I said Baby, you know
A repetition of the dialogue, underscoring the noticeable change.
It seems it's starting to show
The change is becoming more evident or pronounced.
But if you wash your hands of me,
A reminder of the consequences of ending the relationship and the lasting impact.
Things will never be the way
A repetition emphasizing that things will never be as expected if the relationship ends.
No, they'll never be the way
Reiteration that the expected course of events will never be realized if the relationship ends.
Oh they'll never be the way they're supposed to be.
A final statement emphasizing the deviation from the expected path if the relationship concludes.
