Lyrics
Listening to that soundtrack again
Reflecting on revisiting a particular soundtrack
Makes my heart cold and breaths short
Expressing emotional impact: cold heart and short breaths
That one with the Smiths song on it
Highlighting a specific song by The Smiths on the soundtrack
Cuts me to pieces on the inside
Describing the intense emotional effect of the song
Now I've found that if I take a step back
Discovering a coping mechanism: stepping back to endure the soundtrack
I can listen to it all the way through
Realizing the ability to listen to the soundtrack in its entirety
Things don't seem so very high from up here
Perceiving a different perspective: things seem less daunting from a distance
I like it, I'll keep it
Expressing a positive reaction and decision to keep this perspective
I feel like I've got a good grasp on it
Feeling a sense of understanding or control
I like it, I'll keep it
Reiterating the decision to maintain this positive outlook
But if I step too close to the ledge tonight
Introducing a potential danger: approaching a figurative ledge
Don't worry
Reassuring others not to worry in the face of potential danger
A friendly gaze tears the phone book apart
Describing the impact of a friendly gaze on emotions
Watching tears swell as it cuts close to the heart
Observing emotional reactions, tears, and a close connection to the heart
Not asking for another cautious silence tonight
Expressing a desire for open communication, avoiding silence
That's what we've come to
Acknowledging a current state of affairs: cautious silence as a norm
The electric hum of the screen sets the sparks alight
Depicting the impactful noise of a screen and its potential effects
Through hell or high water
Committing to facing challenges regardless of the difficulties
