My Queen
Unraveling Love's Haunting Echoes
Lyrics
Pull the shade and trap the light in
Pulling the shades to block out light, creating an intimate atmosphere.
Aluminate the room so I can see your face
Illuminating the room to see the partner's face clearly.
I need to hear it in person
Expressing a need to hear something important in person.
I need to know it was worth it
Desiring reassurance that the effort was worthwhile.
Took the risk and came on over
Taking a risk by visiting the partner.
Keeping count of everything I didn't say
Keeping track of unspoken thoughts and feelings.
Heard your breathing get lower
Noticing the partner's breathing getting quieter.
The room was getting smaller as you
Feeling confined as the partner embraces quickly.
Threw your arms around me way too fast
Questioning the true meaning of the partner's actions.
What did it really mean?
Reflecting on the significance of the encounter.
And questioned if I thought it all would last
Doubting the longevity of the connection.
Will it all last?
Pondering the lasting nature of the relationship.
Blocking out our future with my past
Allowing past experiences to overshadow the future.
What does it really mean?
Questioning the true meaning of situations.
If ignorance is bliss, then why'd you ask
Contemplating the paradox of ignorance and inquiry.
If it still haunts me
Being haunted by unresolved issues.
It still haunts me
Reiterating the persistent haunting feeling.
Hung the pictures that you painted
Displaying artwork symbolizing an imaginary love.
Hallucinations of love that was never there
Recognizing that the depicted love never existed.
I felt you start getting nervous
Sensing partner's nervousness during a crucial moment.
You put a gloss on the surface of my
Adding a gloss to conceal underlying issues.
Favorite thing you ever drew
Admiring a favorite creation of the partner.
Said it needed more
Suggesting improvements to the partner's creation.
Shaded in the grays
Adding complexity and depth to the partner's work.
And then you hung it on your door
Hanging up the enhanced creation.
If nothing's ever finished it ends up on the floor
Reflecting on incomplete aspects discarded like unfinished art.
Just like we did
Recalling shared experiences left unresolved.
Think about it when I'm falling asleep
Contemplating unresolved thoughts before sleep.
All the parts of you that I couldn't keep
Remembering the parts of the partner that are no longer present.
My nightmares torment me much worse
Nightmares intensify with the partner's absence.
The longer you're not here
Longing for the partner's return.
I keep my energy the lowest I can
Preserving emotional energy amidst separation.
And try and think about where all this began
Reflecting on the origins of the relationship.
For heaven's sake could I forget
Expressing a desire to forget about the partner moving on.
That you found someone new
Acknowledging the partner finding someone new.
I hope to god your haunted by this too
Hoping the partner is haunted by the breakup as well.
