Navigating Heartbreak: Unveiling the Emotions Behind 'Bruises' by Estie Lorie
Lyrics
I look back and see
The speaker reflects on the past.
It's all gone now
Everything from the past is now gone.
I have become somehow
The speaker has undergone changes.
All obsolete now
Everything has become outdated or irrelevant.
Why do I fixate on things
The speaker wonders why they focus on unchangeable things.
That I can't change at all?
A realization that certain things cannot be altered.
Push away nothing now
The speaker avoids rejecting anything now.
It won't work
Attempting to push away certain feelings or situations won't succeed.
Just stop
An urging to stop a particular behavior or thought pattern.
I'm okay when
The speaker is fine when surrounded by friends.
My friends are there
The presence of friends brings comfort.
And I'm okay if you're not there
The speaker is also fine without a specific person.
But every time you look at me
When looked at by someone, the speaker loses control.
I lose control; I lose control
Repeated loss of control when observed by someone.
It started like nothing else
A relationship started without any distinctive characteristics.
It ended all the same
The relationship ended similarly to how it began.
Can I look away
A question about the ability to look away and forget.
And learn to forget?
Desire to learn to forget and move on.
Maybe the happy ending
Suggesting that a happy ending involves moving on.
Is moving on, moving on
Reiteration of the idea that moving on leads to happiness.
Tell me, my old friend
A question directed to an old friend about their well-being.
What's been of you?
Repetition of the question about the old friend.
What's been of you?
Repeating the inquiry into the old friend's situation.
I'm okay when
The speaker is content when in the company of friends.
My friends are there
The speaker is also content without a specific person.
And I'm okay if you're not there
When looked at by someone, the speaker loses control (repeated theme).
But every time you look at me
Repetition of the idea of losing control when observed.
I lose control; I lose control
Reiteration of the recurring theme of losing control when looked at.
