Unveiling Life's Canvas: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
A fluorescent sunburnt bride walks gently down the aisle
A bride with a sunburn walks down the aisle, symbolizing a marriage.
A marriage of unsure smiles, of money hidden under tiles, waiting for clarifying tides while your toes were planted firmly in the snow
The marriage involves uncertainty, hidden financial issues, and anticipation of clarification, while the person is stuck in a cold reality.
She turns left and makes a run right for the door
The bride abruptly turns and heads for the exit.
Awoke to find your ideal life had gone to someone else
Upon waking up, the person discovers their ideal life has been taken by someone else.
Your weary eyes personified a crab without a shell
Weary eyes depict vulnerability, comparing the person to a crab without a protective shell.
To fill the hole you try to think of Colorado in the fall
To cope, the person tries to fill the void by thinking about Colorado in the fall.
Quit work to feel the burn of an unrequited love
The decision to quit work is made to experience the pain of unrequited love.
Where you're not the someone else
The person is not the chosen one in someone else's life.
But you can kind of feel their heartache cause you can kind of see yourself Sometimes the yearning is the sell
Empathy is felt for others' heartbreak, realizing the yearning itself can be a marketable emotion.
It's the complicated pull after a tilt
A reflection on the complex emotions after a setback.
Are you in it for the chase or to be filled?
Questioning whether the pursuit is for the thrill or genuine fulfillment.
Afraid to find your ideal life had gone to someone else
Repeating the fear of losing the ideal life to someone else.
Your weary eyes personified a crab without a shell
Reiteration of weary eyes symbolizing vulnerability.
To fill the hole you try to think of Colorado in the fall
Revisiting the attempt to fill the void with thoughts of Colorado in the fall.
Quit work monetize your soul
Choosing to quit work and commodify one's soul.
Terrified that answers lead to an unknown
Fear of the unknown consequences that may come with seeking answers.
That there are cancers in a purpose, dreams are flawed But there's a beacon in a door
Acknowledging flaws in dreams and purposes, but finding hope in a beacon.
Future's grizzly in your big Sur when it's just in postcards Who wears the fur?
Anticipating a challenging future in a picturesque place (Big Sur), questioning who truly owns it.
It's in good intentions we steer secure
Security is sought in good intentions, but the uncertainty of the future is acknowledged.
But when the future stares back will you be blurred
Pondering how one will face the future when it becomes a reality.
