Wreckage
Heart's Shattered Symphony: Wreckage by Emily Nicole Green
Lyrics
Thought you could treat me like a losing scratch-off ticket
Feeling mistreated, like a discarded losing scratch-off ticket.
The kind you'd shove in a junk drawer
Comparing oneself to a neglected item in a junk drawer.
I know they tell you that you gotta be in it to win it
Acknowledging the conventional wisdom of needing to be committed to succeed.
But, baby, I can't do this anymore
Expressing inability to continue the current situation in the relationship.
You made me feel like
Reflecting on a time when things seemed promising.
My sails were almost catchin'
Feeling close to achieving goals or happiness.
On a wind headed out to sea
Using sailing metaphor for progress and direction.
Then up and left me
Being abandoned or left abruptly.
In the hands of a drunken captain
Left in a challenging or chaotic situation.
Telling me tales I could barely believe
Receiving unbelievable or unreliable information.
And now my heart is wreckage
Describing the emotional aftermath as wreckage.
Wreckage from the storm
Linking the wreckage to a storm, suggesting a turbulent relationship.
In the ocean in a million pieces
Emphasizing the shattered state of emotions.
And nobody's coming for 'em
Feeling abandoned with no one coming to help.
Well you got me
Acknowledging being deceived or manipulated.
You got me good
Expressing the impact of being deceived.
Seems like I missed the mark
Realizing a misunderstanding or misjudgment.
And misunderstood
Feeling confused or not fully comprehending the situation.
Oh, my heart is wreckage, wreckage, wreckage
Reiterating the emotional wreckage in the heart.
Wreckage
Emphasizing the repeated state of emotional destruction.
Oh, my heart is wreckage
Repeating the idea of a damaged heart.
From the storm
Linking the wreckage to a storm, continuing the metaphor.
You say you never gave me any mixed up signals
Challenging the sincerity of the partner's communication.
That your lights never changed from red
Doubting the consistency or truthfulness of the partner's signals.
Well I must be colorblind or something
Expressing confusion or disbelief in the partner's actions.
It must've all been in my head
Suggesting a possible distortion of reality or perception.
All those nights of candid conversations
Recalling late-night conversations without romantic implications.
Boundaries breaking left and right 'til 3am
Breaking boundaries in conversation but with a platonic nature.
Were never laced with romantic intonations
Clarifying that the conversations were not romantically charged.
Hey, that's just how you talk to friends
Explaining the misinterpretation of friendly interactions.
And now my heart is wreckage
Reiterating the emotional aftermath as wreckage.
Wreckage from the storm
Linking the wreckage to a storm, reinforcing the turbulence.
Middle of the road in pieces
Describing the scattered emotional state in the middle of the road.
And the crows are coming for 'em
Using crows as a metaphor for negative influences or consequences.
Oh, my heart is wreckage, wreckage, wreckage
Reiterating the emotional aftermath as wreckage.
Wreckage
Emphasizing the repeated state of emotional destruction.
Oh, my heart is wreckage
Repeating the idea of a damaged heart.
From the storm
Linking the wreckage to a storm, continuing the metaphor.
Oh, my heart is wreckage
Stressing the damaged state of the heart.
Oh, it's wreckage
Repeating the idea of wreckage for emphasis.
Oh, my heart is wreckage
Repeating the idea of a damaged heart.
From the storm
Linking the wreckage to a storm, concluding the metaphor.
From the storm
Reiterating the connection between the emotional state and the storm.
