Lyrics
When you comfort me
Receiving comfort from you
It doesn't bring me comfort actually
The comfort received doesn't actually provide solace
When you comfort me
Reiteration of not finding comfort in received solace
True life in haiku
Real life portrayed in a concise, poetic form (haiku)
Imbalance is the phrase out of the blue
Unexpected imbalance is expressed suddenly
The meaning shown to you
Meaning or significance revealed to the listener
What does sadness see?
Questioning what sorrow perceives or understands
The mirror has a mirror in its teeth
A metaphor describing introspection; seeing reflections of sorrow within oneself
That's what sadness is
Defining sorrow in terms of reflections and introspection
Big sky, tiny bird
Contrasting vastness with smallness, symbolizing insignificance
And when the paragraph betrays the word
When the written description contradicts the intended meaning
Big sky, tiny bird
Reiteration of contrasting vastness with smallness
While you held me up
While receiving support from another
I held my calendar out like a cup
Using time as a container to collect experiences
While you held me up
Reiteration of being supported while using time to gather experiences
Make it about me
Requesting the focus to be on oneself
I want to hold the blame to guillotine
Wishing to take responsibility or fault and face consequences
Make it all blame-free
Asking for a situation without blame or fault
When you comfort me
Receiving comfort from you again
It doesn't bring me comfort actually
Reiterating that received comfort doesn't actually bring solace
