Lyrics
All the things I can say when I'm half asleep
Alludes to speaking candidly during a semi-conscious state.
They always seem so real
Expressions made in half-sleep feel authentic.
Up until morning
These thoughts persist until morning.
With my defenses down it's hard to run
Vulnerability makes it challenging to escape.
Familiar streets are closed
Familiar paths are blocked or inaccessible.
The meaning of morning (mourning?)
Questioning the true meaning, possibly a play on words with 'morning' and 'mourning.'
I can shift, I can lie, I'll do whatever you want
Willing to adapt or deceive to meet someone's expectations.
Did I really get this good?
Reflecting on personal improvement or skill.
I guess it's been so long
Realizing it has been a long journey.
It's no fault of yours
Attributing no blame to the other person.
Curled up on the floor
Physically and emotionally affected, possibly in distress.
It means too much to me
The situation holds significant importance.
You cover up your sores
Concealing emotional wounds or weaknesses.
It's never been worse
Current circumstances are exceptionally challenging.
You've never been worse
Emphasizing the severity of the situation.
Now you're laying on the floor
A person is metaphorically or literally on the floor.
It's never looked worse
The situation has never appeared as dire.
You've never looked worse
Personal appearance mirrors the gravity of the circumstance.
It's no fault of yours
Reiteration of no blame assigned to the other person.
Curled up on the floor
Similar to line 12, emphasizing the emotional impact.
It means too much to me
The situation holds immense significance to the speaker.
To me
Reiterating the personal significance of the situation.
And all I can say is that I'm never right
Admitting personal fallibility, feeling misunderstood.
I've never been played as the villain in the stories I've told
Contrasting personal narratives with the role of a villain.
All the beauty I can find in a moment like this
Finding beauty in fleeting moments that vanish in embrace.
It always disappears
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of beauty.
Somewhere in your arms
The elusive beauty disappears within someone's embrace.
It's no fault of yours
Reiterating no blame on the other person.
Curled up on the floor
Recurrence of emotional distress, possibly intensified.
It means too much
Repeating the immense significance of the situation.
And I've found a place
Discovering a refuge to escape and protect oneself.
To hide away
Securing a place to withdraw, indicating emotional distance.
It doesn't mean that much to me
Minimizing the importance of the situation to the speaker.
