Burden
Ephemeral Echoes: Unraveling Love's Struggle in Ella Lombardi's 'Burden'
Lyrics
Hold me for a moment
Expressing a desire for a brief moment of comfort or solace.
Leave me like nobody knows it
Suggesting a departure or separation in a discreet manner.
cll that's left are your drawings on my arm
Referring to remaining memories as depicted through drawings on the skin.
Stranded in silence
Feeling isolated or abandoned amidst quietness.
Said you hate love but you haven't tried it
Claiming dislike for love without experiencing it.
These days never make it that far
Expressing difficulty in reaching distant moments or goals.
‘Cause I thought forever meant never forget
Questioning the lasting nature of promises, particularly the concept of forever.
But you watched me lay there your hands round her neck
Highlighting a painful scene of betrayal and witnessing a romantic involvement with someone else.
You're less than a stranger, but more than a friend
Describing a complex relationship that falls between being a stranger and more than a friend.
How much time do I have ‘till I'm a Burden?
Pondering the limited time before becoming a burden to someone.
Glue back the pieces
Mentioning the act of repairing or reassembling aspects that were once whole.
Back when this wasn't all that I needed
Reflecting on a time when the current situation was not the sole source of fulfillment.
Leaving indestructible youth
Recalling a phase of life characterized by invincibility and resilience.
Curfew before sunrise
Referring to a time limit before dawn, possibly symbolizing the urgency of certain actions.
Never felt like we had enough time
Expressing a feeling of insufficient time during past experiences.
Run home before the sky goes blue
Urgency to return home before the morning light emerges.
‘Cause I thought forever meant never forget
Reiterating doubts about the permanence of memories and commitments.
But you watched me lay there your hands round her neck
Revisiting the painful image of someone watching a distressing situation without intervention.
You're less than a stranger, but more than a friend
Describing a relationship that is neither fully known nor completely estranged.
How much time do I have ‘till I'm a Burden?
Reiterating the looming concern about becoming burdensome over time.
Loophole in the morning, starting over new
Pointing out a potential opportunity for a fresh start in the morning.
Thought that I had moved on, but I spoke too soon
Acknowledging a premature belief in moving on, realizing it was premature.
My importance leaves you with the moon
Suggesting personal significance aligns with the celestial, such as the moon.
Hold me for a moment
Repetition of the desire for a fleeting moment of connection or comfort.
Leave me like nobody knows it
Repeating the theme of departure or separation with a sense of secrecy.
