Lyrics

Leave me with photographs

Leaving behind memories captured in photographs.

Shoebox filled falls to the ground

A shoebox filled with memories falls to the ground, symbolizing a loss or breakage.

Film leaves blow

Film leaves blowing away may represent fleeting moments or memories.

Plane takes off

A plane taking off may symbolize departure or separation.

Worry of don't love me

Expressing concern about not being loved.

Worry of don't leave me

Expressing concern about not being left alone.

Steal away any fleeting scent I can, out of my mind

Trying to capture and retain any fleeting memories despite emotional struggles.

Rose tinted stark indifference

Experiencing indifference with a tint of romanticized nostalgia.

The world you threw at me

The challenges and experiences thrown by the world.

Has led me to my grave

These challenges leading to a metaphorical 'grave' or a state of exhaustion.

And now I'm tired

Feeling tired and drained.

Yet you are nowhere to be found

Despite exhaustion, the person being sought is absent.

It's getting late

Time is passing, and the situation is becoming urgent.

I'm getting cold

Feeling cold but refusing to go home, possibly avoiding confronting a difficult reality.

Still I refuse to go home

Choosing to stay despite discomfort.

I wander the aisles

Wandering aimlessly, perhaps searching for meaning or resolution.

Throw up my lunch from denial

Experiencing physical distress, vomiting due to denial.

You fucking liar

Expressing frustration and betrayal by someone considered a liar.

I come here every day

Continuing to visit a place, possibly a metaphorical store, every day.

To shed the heavy weight

Seeking relief from a heavy emotional burden.

Missing your presence while you

Yearning for the presence of someone absent.

Fall deeper into your drink

Observing someone descending deeper into the escapism of alcohol.

Into your drink, eternally

Highlighting the perpetual nature of drowning sorrows in alcohol.

Spend your whole life building a table of contents of all the people you meet

Reflecting on a life spent cataloging experiences but struggling to understand oneself.

The scents you smell and the sights you see

Describing the efforts to capture scents and sights in life but facing a personal identity crisis.

But that doesn't help me figure out me

Expressing a difficulty in self-discovery despite external experiences.

You never helped me figure out me

Acknowledging a lack of support or guidance in understanding oneself.

You never helped me figure out me, never

Emphasizing the absence of assistance in self-discovery.

The people you meet

Reiterating the cataloging of people met in life.

The scents that you smell

Repeating the capturing of scents and sights in life.

And all the sights that you see

Continuing the theme of experiencing life's offerings.

Why did you go

Pondering the reasons behind someone's departure.

I'm alone at the store

Being alone in a store, possibly a metaphor for loneliness or abandonment.

And still I refuse to go

Despite the situation, refusing to leave the store.

Waiting on your phone call

Anticipating a phone call, possibly seeking connection or resolution.

Just to, just to ignore it

Despite anticipation, expecting to be ignored during the phone call.
