Tote Bag
Red Flags and Rope Burns: Unraveling the Emotional Tapestry in Tote Bag
Lyrics
She gathers up red flags in a tote bag
She is gathering warning signs or issues in a tote bag.
Tattered and ripped up on the floor
The red flags are damaged and scattered on the floor.
And she swears that she can fix them
She believes she can repair these issues.
But even when they're sewn up, they won't fly quite like before
Even if fixed, the problems won't be the same as before.
Hold on, there you go again
An urging to hold on despite difficulties.
Sweet moonlight, an appetite, led you to a light
Reference to romantic attraction leading to a misguided path.
That made you blind to the right kind of love
Being blinded to the right type of love.
Now you've had enough
Reaching a point of having had enough.
He set his own home on fire
A person destroying their own home, metaphorically or literally.
All the memories are burned and charred
All memories are damaged and ruined.
Well he's a cheater and a liar
Characterization of someone as both a cheater and a liar.
And this rope burn wasn't worth holding on quite so hard
A painful experience that wasn't worth holding onto.
Hold on, we're off the rails again
Another encouragement to hold on despite being off track.
Sweet moonlight, an appetite, led you to a light
Similar to line 6, repeating the idea of misguided attraction.
That made you blind to the right kind of love
Continuing the theme of being blind to the right love.
Now you've had enough
Reaching a point of having had enough, repeated from line 8.
Are you collecting secrets
Questioning if the person is collecting hidden problems.
Because I just want to know
Expressing a desire to understand the reasons for holding on.
Why you're searching for reasons when you know you should let it go
Encouragement to let go instead of searching for reasons.
Sweet moonlight, an appetite, led you to a light
Repeating the theme of misguided attraction and its consequences.
That made you blind to the right kind of love
Reiterating the idea of being blind to the right kind of love.
Now you've had enough
Repeating the notion of having had enough.
