Confidant
Echoes of a Lost Confidant: Bears In Trees Unveils Emotional Journey
Lyrics
8am I awake from a comatose but the nurses never glance
Waking up at 8 am after a deep sleep, unnoticed by the nurses.
Because I was asleep on my friends sofa they were going out to class
Sleeping on a friend's sofa while they go to class.
I ascended the stairs to find you still lying in her bed
Finding someone still in bed, possibly a romantic interest.
We had classes too, but we just talked fragile till noon instead
Choosing to talk instead of attending classes, sharing fragile conversations.
You laughed at all my jokes, not because you'd understand
Laughter not based on comprehension but rooted in a deep connection.
But because you were my home, built on stone instead of sand
Describing the person as a stable and enduring presence in life.
And when you went away to stay in some far distant land
Even when physically distant, feeling the person's presence mentally.
I still felt you in my brain smiling holding my hand
Memories of the person persisting, providing comfort and happiness.
You didn't want a boy to free you, you just needed a confidant
Understanding that the person didn't seek a romantic partner but a confidant.
Someone to understand you, not just biding for their own wants
The importance of being someone who truly comprehends without selfish motives.
And I would do anything for you, cause on those most chaotic nights
Expressing willingness to do anything for the person during chaotic times.
You were my warm calming companion, like the sweetest cup of chai
Describing the person as a calming influence, like a soothing cup of chai.
We tied grass around our fingers, faux halloween night wedding
Symbolic gesture of commitment with grass tied around fingers.
Grass would never last but we didn't care for fancy things
Valuing the simplicity of their relationship over materialistic concerns.
I wrote two songs about our lives and nights oh so fantastic
Creating songs to immortalize their fantastic experiences together.
And from a Christmas cracker you got me a new ring made of plastic
Receiving a plastic ring from a Christmas cracker, appreciating the sentiment.
I felt I lost that piece of us when my mind began to fray
Feeling a loss of connection when mental stability starts deteriorating.
When you came home, I let our house fall into disarray
Neglecting the home when the person is away, symbolizing emotional disarray.
My ring fell down the drain, whilst I washed my twisted face
Losing a symbolic ring while dealing with personal struggles.
Because I let your essence go, I've not felt clean to this day
Regretting the loss of the person's essence, impacting emotional well-being.
