When Cinderella Dies
When Dreams Shatter: Life After Love's Departure
Lyrics
He left her standing on the side of the road
She was left abandoned by him on the roadside.
No destination, no way to go
He left without a clear destination, leaving her with no direction.
Make you stop and wonder what life did to his soul
Reflecting on his life and the impact of experiences on his soul makes one ponder.
He's gone, gone
He has departed; he is no longer present.
He threw their dreams out the window of the car
He discarded their shared dreams callously from the car.
Like nothing ever happened
Acting as if nothing significant occurred, ignoring the emotional scars.
Like it wouldn't leave a scar
The aftermath of the event leaves a lasting mark.
You know the story, you've heard it all before
The listener is familiar with this narrative; it's a common story of heartbreak.
He's gone, gone
Reiteration of his absence; he is no more.
And here she is, with all the baggage
She is left dealing with the emotional baggage of the relationship.
Here she is, wondering how to carry on
Struggling to find a way to continue her life.
What do you do when a dream becomes a lie?
The dream they shared has turned into a falsehood.
Who do you become when Cinderella dies?
The central theme: the identity crisis after the end of a fairytale-like relationship.
She was a beauty when he picked her up
She was beautiful when their journey began.
Drove off together and just fell in love
They fell in love during the journey, starting a promising relationship.
Promised her forever until he said he had enough
He broke promises of forever, stating he'd had enough.
Now he's gone, gone
He is no longer part of her life.
And here she is, a single mother
She finds herself as a single mother after his departure.
Here she is, trying to keep it all together
Struggling to hold everything together in the aftermath.
What do you do when a dream becomes a lie?
Reiteration of dreams turning into lies.
Who do you become when Cinderella dies?
The question of identity after the end of a fairy tale is posed again.
She wonders if she's ever gonna love again
She questions whether she will ever love again.
'Cause every night alone she burns in her bed
Nights alone are emotionally challenging for her.
And she burns, burns
Intensifying emotions and pain during solitary moments.
What do you do when a dream becomes a lie?
Repetition of the theme: dreams turning into lies.
Who do you become when Cinderella dies?
Continued exploration of identity post-fairytale ending.
How do you go on living your long life?
Pondering how to continue living a long life after such a significant loss.
Who do you become when Cinderella dies?
The question of identity resurfaces after the metaphorical death of Cinderella.
How do you go on living your long life?
Repetition of the challenge of continuing life after the end of the fairy tale.
Who do you become when Cinderella dies?
Reiteration of the central question: who one becomes after the demise of Cinderella.
