Temporary Fix
Eternal Longing: Navigating Love's Temporary Fix
Lyrics
Two years since I’ve seen your face
Expressing the duration since the speaker last saw the person.
But I still see it every day
Despite the time passed, memories of the person remain vivid.
How’d you feel right now?
Prompting a reflection on the person's current emotional state.
That I’m not around
Highlighting the absence of the speaker in the person's life.
Still staring at the photograph
Continuing to reminisce through a photograph despite separation.
Me and you behind the broken glass
Recalling shared moments represented by broken glass.
No sleep tonight
Conveying insomnia due to emotional distress.
Cause all I wanna do is call you
Expressing the intense desire to call and connect with the person.
All I wanna do is call you
-I’ve been crushed in a landslide
Describing overwhelming emotions, possibly heartbreak or loss.
Drowned in a riptide
-I’ve never felt quite like this
-Red wine and bandaids
Using red wine and bandaids metaphorically to cope with emotional pain.
Try to kill the pain
-It’s all a temporary fix
Stating that the coping mechanisms are only temporary solutions.
Someone said you're with someone new
Expressing curiosity and insecurity about a new relationship.
Does he make you feel the way I do?
-Was I not enough?
-I think I think too much
Reflecting on self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy.
Stranger lying in my bed
Describing a sense of emotional detachment despite physical closeness.
But our songs running through my head
-The room’s spinning out
Conveying dizziness or disorientation due to emotional turmoil.
Cause all I wanna do is call you
Reiterating the strong desire to call and communicate.
All I wanna do is call you
-I’ve been crushed in a landslide
Reiterating intense emotional experiences, possibly pain and drowning.
Drowned in a riptide
-I’ve never felt quite like this
-Red wine and bandaids
Continuing the metaphorical use of red wine and bandaids.
Try to kill the pain
-It’s all a temporary fix
Emphasizing that the coping mechanisms provide only temporary relief.
Cause all I wanna do is call you
Repeating the strong desire to call, reinforcing emotional urgency.
All I wanna do is call you
-All I wanna do is call you
-All I wanna do is call
Expressing a persistent longing to reach out and connect.
I’ve been crushed in a landslide
Recapitulating intense emotional experiences and feelings of uniqueness.
Drowned in a riptide
-I’ve never felt quite like this
-Red wine and bandaids
Continuing the metaphor of using red wine and bandaids to cope.
Try to kill the pain
-It’s all a temporary fix
Reiterating that the coping mechanisms are only a temporary fix.
