Little Columbine
Whispers of Silence: Unveiling Hidden Tears and Love in 'Little Columbine'
Lyrics
She's left the court on her mule
She has departed from a formal gathering riding a mule.
He's still but shaking inside
He outwardly appears calm but is experiencing inner turmoil.
They sit alone in a park
They are seated together in a park.
Where strangers hide away
They are in a secluded place where strangers typically avoid.
Until the end of the day
They remain hidden until the day concludes.
She sits in the middle of a meadow
She is positioned in the middle of a meadow.
Among bleeding rabbits that bite
Surrounded by injured rabbits that are aggressive.
And wilting flowers that bloom
Amid wilting flowers that flourish during the night.
In the dead of night
This occurs in the darkness to remain unnoticed.
So they can stay out of sight
They choose to stay out of sight.
And while her lips keep smiling, her eyes are full of tears
Despite her smiling lips, her eyes betray sadness.
And no-one knows the reason she hasn't talked in years
No one understands why she has been silent for years.
And in her private diary I wrote an unwritten line
The singer has written an unspoken line in her private diary.
If only she could read it, she'd be my Valentine
If she could read it, the singer wishes she would be his Valentine.
My new blue moon-shine
Refers to the singer's romantic feelings and connection to a new beginning.
He doesn't know it's Good Friday
He is unaware that it is Good Friday.
He rides through woods full of snow
He travels through snowy woods on a mission.
For years he's trying to kill him
For years, he has been attempting to kill someone.
He doesn't know he's dead
He doesn't realize that the target is already dead.
He's just a thought in his head.
The target exists only as a thought in his mind.
And three miles down the highway stands an unpointing sign
There's an unnoticed sign three miles down the highway.
But no-one ever heeds it, that's why they keep in line
No one pays attention to it, leading to conformity.
The empty, snowy Queen's gown is stained with dark red wine
The Queen's gown, representing authority, is stained with dark red wine, symbolizing suffering.
If I could only help her, she'd be my Valentine
The singer expresses a desire to help someone, hoping they would be his Valentine.
My new blue moon-shine
Reiteration of the singer's romantic feelings and a connection to a new beginning.
My little columbine
Refers to the person the singer desires as "my little columbine."
