Broken Yolk in Western Sky
Love's Desperate Fade: Broken Yolk in Western Sky
Lyrics
Broken yolk in western sky
Feeling of disappointment or failure symbolized by a broken yolk in the sky.
My stomach turned, my mouth went dry
Physical and emotional reactions to a distressing situation.
And I knew I'd never known fear before
Realization of experiencing fear for the first time.
I pressed my palms into the seat
Seeking stability or control by pressing palms into the seat.
Took one last look at you next to me
A final glance at someone significant before a drastic action.
And kicked open the sliding door
Taking a bold and abrupt action, leaving abruptly.
And I threw myself out on the road
Committing to a drastic decision with a sense of desperation.
Torn flesh and broken bones
Consequences of the impulsive action - physical harm.
In the gravel and scattered trash
Symbolic setting of the incident, chaos amidst insignificance.
I faded into your past
Fading away from someone's life, becoming a memory.
I know it was a cowardly thing to do
Admitting fault and acknowledging a regretful action.
And that an explanation is not an excuse
Recognizing that explaining doesn't justify the action taken.
I just want you to understand
Desire to convey a particular perspective or reasoning behind actions.
That love is only a type of greed
Defining love as a blend of desire and necessity.
Of equal portions 'want' and 'need'
Emphasizing the inseparability of 'want' and 'need' in love.
And you cannot divorce the two
Asserting the intertwined nature of desire and necessity in relationships.
I could not sleep at all
Inability to find peace or rest due to unsettling circumstances.
With all the rumble strip close calls
Near-misses causing anxiety and preventing relaxation.
In the gravel and patchy grass
Reiteration of fading away, losing connection with someone.
I faded into your past
Continuing to be a part of the past of the person addressed.
When you think twice you arrive at the same conclusions
Reflecting on repeatedly reaching the same conclusions despite reconsideration.
It's bad advice only if you use it
Suggesting advice can be judged based on its application.
And then you disappeared from view
The other person vanishing and transforming into someone different.
And you became somebody new
Transition or change in the person's identity and demeanor.
Near the exit's overpass
Being present near an exit, suggesting departure or leaving.
I faded into your past
Continued presence in the past of the individual.
Yes, I faded into your past
Reiteration of becoming a memory from the past.
Yes, I faded into your past
Continued presence as a memory in the past of the addressed person.
