Frame
Unveiling Change: Charlie Cunningham's Emotional Journey in 'Frame'
Lyrics
Then you looked at me for the last time
Describing the final moment of being looked at
Breathing a sigh of relief
Feeling relief by taking a breath
With wide open eyes
Being observant and aware
You finally see that the change is surrounding me
Realizing change enveloping the singer
But I don't, don't need reminding
Not needing reminders about closeness to a significant event
How close we were to it all
Reflecting on nearness to a pivotal point
These straight and empty lines arrive
Describing difficult, unyielding times
That take me hours
Expressing the time-consuming nature of these moments
They pull, they tear and they bite
Describing the intense, painful nature of these moments
This was a moment, remember the first time
Recalling a significant past moment
Lay your flowers, this wasn't your design
Acknowledging something not planned by the listener
It's over for us this heart bled for all the times
Ending a relationship with emotional pain
It felt like a novice framed these lies
Feeling inexperienced in handling deceit
So much for us, this half-read lullaby
Recognizing a failed attempt at comfort
Wasn't nearly enough, there's no shame in trying
Acknowledging efforts without regret
You were the same as the others
Noticing similarity with someone else
But I'm not the same as I was
Asserting personal growth and change
In one way or another
Realizing a connection despite differences
We're chained to each other
Feeling linked despite separation
Stay there, I'll go
Choosing separation
The same thing, I know
Expecting a repetitive cycle
And you'll make all new memories
Anticipating the creation of new memories
Like the ones you shared with me
Highlighting the shared past and future separation
