Ache
Ache: Depths of Desire and Consuming Obsession
Lyrics
Are you the one that I wanted
Questioning if the person is the desired or expected one
You turn your face to me
The person turns their face towards the speaker
I'm like a pig to the slaughter
Feeling vulnerable or exposed, like a helpless victim
Fill my cheeks with blood
Metaphorical imagery of being emotionally overwhelmed
Ventriloquist tongue
Speaking without one's own voice, influenced by another
Anoint me
Consecrate or bless me
Are you the one that I wanted
Reiteration of questioning the person's importance or significance
Who pulls me underneath
The person has a pull or influence over the speaker
Halfway underwater
Feeling submerged or overwhelmed, possibly in a relationship
Swell into a flood
Emotions rising and expanding uncontrollably
Do you feel that gush
Sensory perception or emotional sensation
You can make your bed
The person can make their own decisions or choices
I can't help myself
Feeling helpless or unable to resist
I keep you on my tongue
Constantly thinking or speaking about the person
You can stage your death
The person can pretend to be gone or absent
Let all these possibilities
Potential outcomes or options carry significance
Hold weight
Have importance or influence
They float
They lack significance or lose impact
They dull into an ache
Transform into a lingering feeling of discomfort or sadness
You're the hole in the wall
The person is a noticeable absence or emptiness
You're the smoke come through
They influence the environment, like smoke entering a room
Your body is cold
The person seems distant or unemotional
Slow creak in the room
Slow, subtle disturbance in the environment
You can stage your death
Having control over one's own apparent demise or disappearance
You can watch me consume
Observing the effect or impact of the speaker
You can break through the skin
Penetrating deeply or emotionally
We are a blur in the room
Both individuals are indistinct or unclear in the space
Are you the one that I wanted
Repeating the inquiry about the person's significance
I resemble a surface
Appearing as a superficial image
That you draw from a distance
The person draws from a distance, ready for transformation
Ready to be changed
Prepared or open for change
And your tongue destroys me
Their words or actions cause harm or distress
You can make your bed
Similar to line 14, the person has autonomy
I can't help myself
Feeling powerless to resist
I keep you on my tongue
Continuously thinking or speaking about the person
You can stage your death
Capability to feign or pretend to be absent or vanished
Let all these possibilities
Various potential outcomes hold significance
Hold weight
Carry weight or importance
They float
Lack significance or become less impactful
They dull into an ache
Transform into a persistent feeling of discomfort or sadness
You're the hole in the wall
The person represents an absence or emptiness
You're the smoke come through
They affect the environment, akin to smoke entering a room
Your body is cold
The person seems distant or emotionally unavailable
Slow creak in the room
Slow, subtle disturbance in the surroundings
You can stage your death
Capable of controlling their apparent disappearance
You can watch me consume
Observing the impact or influence of the speaker
You can break through the skin
Penetrating deeply or emotionally
We are a blur in the room
Both individuals are indistinct or unclear in the space
