Red Crooked Smiles
Burning Palaces: Unveiling the Red Crooked Smiles
Lyrics
Red crooked smiles are burning my palace down
Red crooked smiles symbolize destructive and malicious intentions that are causing harm to the speaker's personal space.
Your hands they convulsed into flames
The hands transforming into flames suggest intense emotions or actions, possibly destructive in nature.
Now everyone and you look identically the same
A sense of uniformity among people, losing individuality, possibly reflecting negative influences.
The angels watched you swallow aqueous lust
Angels witnessing the consumption of desire or passion, leading to the deterioration of commitments and promises.
As my chest caved in our vows turned to dust
The collapse of the speaker's emotions, turning promises into dust, indicating a profound emotional breakdown.
Vestigial I'm showing all my teeth
Displaying vulnerability and openness, revealing inner emotions, possibly in a confrontational manner.
I should of I should of I should of killed you then
Regret about not taking action in the past, contemplating a missed opportunity to prevent harm.
But what once was then will never be again
The acknowledgment that the past cannot be recreated, and certain events are irreversible.
And it suddenly becomes difficult to breathe
A sudden and overwhelming difficulty in breathing, reflecting the emotional weight of the situation.
This is not me
A disassociation from the current self, expressing a sense of disconnection from one's identity.
This is not who I used to be
A lamentation about the profound change in the speaker's character from their previous self.
Where did she find those words she caressed me with?
Questioning the origin of hurtful words received, possibly from someone trusted and close.
I found her disguised in white to hide all her past and pestilence
Discovering deception and hidden flaws in someone portrayed as pure and virtuous.
A curse to those who held you high on their thrown
A curse directed at those who elevated the deceptive person, expressing resentment.
They think they know but they will never know
Recognition that others may think they understand but are unaware of the true, negative actions.
All the ugly things that you have done for free
Revealing undisclosed, morally questionable actions committed freely by the deceptive person.
And no one has seen how you made the moon bleed
Highlighting secretive and harmful actions, like causing damage to something as significant as the moon.
Or how you made the sky cry the stars on its knees
Describing the impact of the deceptive person on the world, making the sky cry and the stars submit.
And it suddenly becomes difficult to breathe
Recurrence of the difficulty in breathing, emphasizing the ongoing emotional struggle.
This is not me
Reiteration of the disconnection from the current self, emphasizing the profound change experienced.
This is not who I used to be
Continued reflection on the significant deviation from the speaker's previous identity.
This is not me
Repeat of the disassociation, emphasizing the profound transformation and loss of self.
This is not who I used to be
Continued expression of the speaker's lamentation about the irreversible change in their former self.
