Harsh Realities of Love: Eleni Drake's Soulful Reflections
Lyrics
Hey, do you miss me like I miss you?
Expressing a longing sentiment, questioning if the other person misses the speaker as much as they miss them.
It's ok, I think about you too
Acknowledging that it's acceptable for both parties to think about each other.
Like the time we sat on our balcony
Recalling a specific moment of shared intimacy, sitting on a balcony.
And the rain was pouring heavily
Describing a past memory of heavy rain during the mentioned balcony moment.
And you lit the wrong end of your cigarette
Detailing an incident where the other person mistakenly lit the wrong end of a cigarette.
And claimed all the cool kids did it like that
Recounting a playful claim made by the other person, imitating the behavior of "cool kids."
But it's harsh
Introducing the theme of harshness, possibly reflecting on the difficulties in the relationship.
Oh it's harsh
Reiterating the harshness, emphasizing the emotional impact.
To know that we don't suit that well
Expressing the realization that the relationship may not be well-suited.
Oh it's harsh
Repeating the acknowledgment of harshness and its impact.
Babe it's harsh
Addressing the other person and emphasizing the difficulty of the situation.
Come on over just one more time
Inviting the other person to come over one more time.
Cos if it's one more time, then we'll be just fine
Expressing hope that one more meeting can resolve the difficulties in the relationship.
Kick it like we used to do
Revisiting the idea of recreating past experiences together.
And I'll dance for you in our living room
Describing a scene of dancing in the living room, suggesting intimacy.
Drinking whiskey watching old tv
Depicting a shared activity of drinking whiskey and watching old TV shows.
But I feel your gaze pouring over me
Noting a sense of being observed by the other person during the shared activity.
I blush and pull my face inside my knees
Reacting to the gaze by blushing and pulling into oneself, indicating vulnerability.
Oh I wish you'd surf the sun with me
Expressing a desire for the other person to share in positive experiences, like surfing the sun.
Still it's harsh
Reiterating the theme of harshness, emphasizing its persistent nature.
Oh it's harsh
Emphasizing again the emotional difficulty in realizing the lack of compatibility.
To know that we don't suit that well
Repeating the acknowledgment of the harsh reality of the relationship.
Oh it's harsh
Reiterating the emotional impact, especially for the speaker.
Babe it's harsh
Addressing the other person and underscoring the severity of the situation.
Oh its harsh
Repeating the assertion of harshness, reinforcing its significance.
Yes it's harsh
Affirming the emotional difficulty of realizing the unsuitability of the relationship.
To know that we don't suit that well
Reiterating the awareness of a lack of compatibility between the two individuals.
Oh it's harsh
Emphasizing the ongoing impact of the harsh reality on the speaker.
Babe it's harsh
Concluding with a final acknowledgment of the emotional difficulty in the relationship.
