Lyrics
Now I've lost the plot
Expressing a sense of confusion or disorientation in life.
I'm not the hero I could be
Acknowledging a personal failure to live up to a heroic ideal.
But not the dog I was
Reflecting on a past self, possibly one with more innocence or simplicity.
Kind of common cry
Describing a common emotional expression or lamentation.
Kind of common living lie
Describing a prevalent but false way of living.
Color my fast fading heart
Depicting a heart losing vitality or intensity quickly.
People laugh at anything
Observing a tendency for people to find humor in anything.
And things just fall apart
Expressing a general sense of things falling apart.
Kind of common cry
Reiterating a common emotional expression or lamentation.
Kind of common living lie
Reiterating a prevalent but false way of living.
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Highlighting a familiarity with one's own breathing patterns.
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Recalling a time when the speaker was seen as beautiful in someone else's eyes.
Now they'll sleep tonight
Suggesting that others will find peace or rest now.
Mmm
(Instrumental interlude)
Now eyes burn circles in the dark
Describing the impact of emotional pain on the speaker's eyes.
And when the mirror talks to me
Personifying a mirror and its communication with the speaker's heart.
I listen with my heart
Listening to the mirror's message with emotional sensitivity.
Kind of common cry
Reiterating a common emotional expression or lamentation.
Kind of common living lie
Reiterating a prevalent but false way of living.
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Reiterating the familiarity with one's own breathing patterns.
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Recalling a time when the speaker was seen as beautiful in someone else's eyes.
You know the shape my breath will take before I let it out
Reiterating the familiarity with one's own breathing patterns.
Stand like you did when I was beauty-marked in your eyes
Recalling a time when the speaker was seen as beautiful in someone else's eyes.
Now they'll sleep alright
Asserting that now others will find peace or rest.
Hmm
(Instrumental interlude)
