Spades
Unveiling Heartbreak: Fractures and Outlines' Spades
Lyrics
I've waited way too long
I've been waiting for a significant period.
For something that's already lost and gone
The desired outcome is already lost and unrecoverable.
It's already lost and gone
Reiteration that the situation is irreversibly lost.
Your serpent tongue spoke lies of gold
Accusation of deceit using a metaphorical "serpent tongue" that spoke deceptive words.
And I've been left here on my own
The speaker is left alone as a consequence of the lies.
I've been left here on my own
Emphasizing the solitude and abandonment.
I'm not sorry for breaking your heart
The speaker is unapologetic for causing heartbreak.
Since you've torn mine apart from the start
Acknowledgment that the speaker's heart was broken from the beginning of the relationship.
You've torn mine apart from the start
Reiteration of the ongoing impact of the heartbreak.
Yeah I pushed you away in the end
The speaker intentionally pushed the other person away.
But you'll find somebody else to play pretend
Despite the speaker's actions, the other person will find someone else to pretend with.
You told me you're the one I want
Recollection of the other person claiming to be the desired partner.
You're always stuck in my head
The other person is constantly on the speaker's mind.
You're always stuck in my head
Repetition of the persistent thoughts about the other person.
But is that really what you said
Questioning the accuracy of what the other person said.
When you talked shit to your friends?
Accusation of the other person talking negatively about the speaker to friends.
Your friends
Reference to the other person's friends who were involved in spreading negative talk.
I'm not sorry for breaking your heart
Reiteration of being unapologetic for causing heartbreak.
Since you've torn mine apart from the start
Confirmation that the speaker's heart was broken from the beginning.
You've torn mine apart from the start
Reiteration of the ongoing impact of heartbreak.
Yeah I pushed you away in the end
Repeating the intentional distancing from the other person.
But you'll find somebody else to play pretend
Predicting that the other person will find someone else for pretense.
Quit playing Queen of Spades
Directing the other person to stop playing games, specifically referencing the "Queen of Spades."
Just say it to my face
Requesting direct communication instead of indirect actions.
I'd clearly say I love you too if you meant it in the first place
Expressing a willingness to reciprocate love if it was genuine from the beginning.
