Lyrics
My eyes were melting
Feeling intense emotions, possibly sadness or distress.
Couldn't fall asleep
Experiencing difficulty in falling asleep.
Wondering why I kiss the same hands
Questioning the choice of kissing hands that also harm.
The same hands that choke me
Expressing the contradiction of receiving love and pain from the same person.
I'm begging and pleading
Begging and pleading for understanding or change.
Asking above
Seeking guidance or answers from a higher power.
From the wise words of a
Referencing wisdom from a turtle dove, a symbol of love and fidelity.
Turtle dove
Connecting love to visible signs, even if they are bruises.
The only sign you fell in love is from the bruises of the shove
Highlighting the physical impact of falling in love.
Look for a second
Encouraging a closer look at the situation.
'Cause it feels a million years
Expressing the subjective experience of time in a difficult relationship.
I've known your touch and I know your smile
Being familiar with the partner's touch and smile.
The smile that can't feel real
Doubting the authenticity of the partner's smile.
You say you can't hear me
Asserting that despite claims of not hearing, emotions are still expressed.
But crying birds still sing
Emphasizing the persistence of emotional expression despite challenges.
We're under the same moon and stars
Highlighting a connection under the celestial bodies through a metaphorical red string.
Held by a red string
Suggesting that pain can be a necessary healing process.
If the pain is proper medicine, then consider me healed
Promising not to be alone, expressing commitment.
Swear I won't be alone
Symbolizing unity and closeness through intertwined fingers.
Fingers intertwined
Pointing out uncertainty about which aspects of the relationship are prioritized.
But you couldn't promise which fingers
Describing a sense of confusion or lack of clarity.
You held closer than mine
Depicting a situation of repetition and confinement.
Running in circles
Offering a hand in a new perspective or understanding.
In a cornered room
Expressing a lack of awareness about the true nature of a situation.
Take my hand in a new light
Acknowledging separation and bidding farewell to a relationship.
If only I knew it was blue
Realizing a lack of awareness after the fact.
I do and I bid adieu, these words stay two worlds apart
Saying goodbye with the awareness of the emotional distance.
Two holes make one
Symbolizing unity or completion through the concept of two holes making one.
Two holes in my soul
Expressing emotional wounds or vulnerabilities.
Too much to hold
Conveying the overwhelming nature of emotional burdens.
Hold my breath, and
Seeking a moment of pause or control in a tumultuous situation.
Pretend to fall
Engaging in a pretense of vulnerability or surrender.
Pretend you fell for me
Asking the partner to pretend to reciprocate feelings.
And fall asleep
Expressing a desire for closure or resolution through sleep.
