Bodega Bouquet
Bodega Bouquet: A Poetic Apology Wrapped in Urban Blooms
Lyrics
Woke with the sun
Starting the day early with the sunrise.
Last night lingers like acid on my tongue
Recalling the events of the previous night, which linger like a bitter taste.
Walking down Broadway like a ghost
Walking on Broadway with a feeling of detachment, like a ghost.
I wish my brain worked like it's supposed to
Expressing a desire for a more functional and clear-minded thought process.
The train rocks overhead like thunder
Describing the train's rumble overhead, possibly reflecting inner turmoil.
Fell back in the deep end and something's circling under
Feeling submerged in deep emotions, with something unsettling lurking beneath.
How could you know what I was thinking
Questioning the understanding of personal thoughts by others.
If I only spill when I am drinking
Highlighting a tendency to open up only under the influence of alcohol.
I got no cash I'm so embarrassed
Expressing embarrassment about financial limitations.
So if I can't fly us to Paris
Inability to afford a grand gesture like flying to Paris.
I'll come home
Committing to returning home.
With a bodega bouquet
Planning to bring a modest bouquet from a corner store (bodega) as a peace offering.
Sorry for the things I said yesterday
Apologizing for previous words spoken in haste.
If this place feels like an empty vase
Suggesting that the current situation feels empty or lacking.
I'll be your bodega bouquet
Reiterating the commitment to be a comforting presence like a simple bouquet.
Faking my death
Metaphorically pretending to escape or change, possibly through self-deception.
But the mirror she wields revealed my breath
A mirror reveals reality, acknowledging self-awareness.
I told her I'm growing but instead
Claiming personal growth while neglecting mental well-being.
Forgot to water the garden in my head
Forgetting to nurture the emotional aspects represented by the garden in the head.
How could you know what I was thinking
Repeating the theme of the difficulty of understanding personal thoughts.
When I only spill when I am drinking
Reiterating the tendency to open up only when under the influence.
I got no cash I'm so embarrassed
Expressing embarrassment about financial constraints.
So if I can't fly us to Paris
Acknowledging the inability to afford extravagant gestures like a trip to Paris.
I'll come home
Committing once again to returning home.
With a bodega bouquet
Repeating the plan to bring a modest bouquet as an apology.
Sorry for the things I said yesterday
Reiterating an apology for words spoken in haste.
If this place feels like an empty vase
Restating the feeling of emptiness in the current situation.
I'll be your bodega bouquet
Reaffirming the commitment to be a comforting presence like a simple bouquet.
I'll come home
Affirming the commitment to return home once more.
With a bodega bouquet
Repeating the plan to bring a modest bouquet as an apology.
Sorry for the things I said yesterday
Reiterating an apology for words spoken in haste.
If this place feels like an empty vase
Restating the feeling of emptiness in the current situation.
I'll be your bodega bouquet
Reaffirming the commitment to be a comforting presence like a simple bouquet.
