Last Year's Disco Guitars
Echoes of Love Lost: Last Year's Melancholic Symphony
Lyrics
falling to pieces
Falling apart emotionally or mentally.
and our life now has no leases
Our life lacks stability or fixed agreements.
and i waited through summer
Enduring a period of waiting, possibly for someone or something.
now the sight of your number makes me turn to another
Seeing the contact number of someone triggers the desire to move on to others.
and another and others
Engaging with different people, possibly romantically, as a way to cope.
now my feeling grows duller and the lips lose their color
Emotions are diminishing, and physical attraction is fading.
oh last fall we had Montreal
Recalling a past experience in Montreal during the last fall.
gilded hotel bars
Memories of upscale hotel bars with a touch of luxury.
last year's disco guitars
Reflecting on the past with a mention of disco guitars from the previous year.
well you felt like giving
Describing a time when the person felt generous or open-hearted.
when you worked for a living
Referring to a period when the person had a job and earned a living.
although i'm above you
Despite being in a superior position, there's a lack of love or connection.
no one to love you
Expressing loneliness with no one to provide affection.
it's so easy to lie
Emphasizing the ease of lying, possibly as a coping mechanism.
it's so easy to lie
-it's so easy to lie
-stiller and stiller
Growing quieter and calmer, possibly finding peace.
i found someone who cares
Discovering someone who cares for the speaker.
in the dark, in the shadows of our wintertime gallows
Referencing a gloomy and difficult time, possibly metaphorical wintertime gallows.
these are now the tracks
The present situation or circumstances.
oh now there's no looking back
No longer dwelling on the past, moving forward.
when i return no i won't revert
No intention of reverting to a previous state upon return.
it's so easy to lie
Reiteration of the ease of lying, perhaps highlighting its prevalence.
it's so easy to lie
-it's so easy to lie
-it's so easy to lie
-it's so easy to lie
-it's so easy to lie
-it's so easy to lie
Emphasizing once again how easy it is to lie.
