Marathon
Embracing Life's Marathon: A Melodic Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I put on your dress
I wear a dress that belongs to you.
I wear it like my own skin
I wear the dress as if it were a part of me.
There's your name on the tag, my hands in the pockets
The dress has your name on the tag, and my hands are in its pockets; feeling emotional emptiness.
Now I'm feeling the holes again
I am experiencing emotional voids or difficulties.
There's your note on the fridge
Your note with a big heart next to my name is on the fridge.
Big heart next to my name
There's a picture of me feeling carsick; a memory we might cherish one day.
And a picture of me getting carsick
Someday, we might frame that picture.
One day we'll get that framed, I hope
I play our shared record, expressing a desire to learn the drums.
I put our record on
I commit to certain behaviors, referring to them as a marathon.
I swear I'll take up the drums
A suggestion is made for me to push my limits and challenge myself.
I do the same shit, call it a marathon
I engage in repetitive actions, likening them to a marathon.
Someone said I should break in my lungs
Someone advises me to endure hardship or intense experiences.
I'd smoke the whole damn pack
Expressing a willingness to face challenges; smoking an entire pack of cigarettes metaphorically.
I stopped after my first
I quit a destructive habit after the first instance.
I think you're right, I've been nursing a heart attack
Acknowledging that I might be experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack due to emotional stress.
If you want I would quit, show me how to reverse
If you want me to, I would quit; show me how to reverse the situation.
I put my face away
I hide my emotions by putting on a figurative face.
I let the whole world spin
I let the world go on, seemingly unaffected.
Keep it hidden under my pillow case
I keep my emotional struggles hidden under my pillowcase.
Let me know when it's done
Let me know when the emotional turmoil is over.
I don't care who wins
I am indifferent to the outcome of a situation, emphasizing emotional detachment.
