Nathan
Whispers of Autumn: Nathan's Melancholic Tale Unveiled
Lyrics
You keep a little piece of the past beneath your skin
You carry memories from the past beneath your skin.
Spider legs crawling through your cold bloodstream
Metaphorical description of discomfort or unease, comparing it to spider legs in the bloodstream.
Baby's got a slow pulse, he's hearing static sounds again
A person with a slow heartbeat, experiencing auditory disturbances; possibly emotional or mental struggles.
He changes like the autumn trees, shiver shaking limbs
Symbolic comparison of a person's changes to the transformation of autumn trees, with trembling limbs.
You take their words for gospel and leave me in the rain
Being left alone in the rain while someone else trusts and follows others blindly.
Nathan, don't make me lose my breath again
Pleading with Nathan not to cause breathlessness or emotional distress.
You built yourself a bed from ashes and string
Nathan creating a makeshift bed from remnants, possibly implying a fragile foundation.
Nathan, don't fill up your lungs with fire again
Cautioning Nathan against engaging in destructive behaviors that could harm him.
There's summer in your hazy eyes though the winter steals the air
Despite external challenges (winter), there's warmth and positivity in Nathan's eyes.
It feels like I've loved you my whole life cause I see you everywhere
Feeling an enduring connection, as if the speaker has loved Nathan throughout their entire life.
In dreams where I cannot move, I can only stand and stare
In dreams, feeling paralyzed and only able to observe, possibly reflecting a sense of helplessness.
Your milky skin, my piano hands putting flowers in your hair
Imagery of intimacy, juxtaposing Nathan's skin with the speaker's hands adorned with flowers.
I'll drown these nightmares in apathy til I believe that I'm okay
Expressing a desire to overcome nightmares through indifference until a sense of well-being is believed.
Nathan, do you feel powerful when you're pushing me away?
Questioning Nathan's motive behind pushing the speaker away and whether it empowers him.
I'll sleep with open windows in case you come back for me someday
Leaving windows open, hopeful for Nathan's return, suggesting a lingering attachment.
Nathan keeps me on the run, begging him to stay
Nathan is described as a constant source of challenge or pursuit, with the speaker begging for him to stay.
Nathan holds me to his chest, begging me to stay
Despite challenges, Nathan holds the speaker close, possibly implying a desire for closeness and intimacy.
