Pathos
Embracing Shadows: Frankie Master's Pathos Unveiled
Lyrics
Flowers everywhere
Observing the presence of flowers all around
Do you notice, do you care?
Questioning whether the listener notices or cares
Do you know I've been crying at night?
Revealing personal emotional struggles, particularly crying at night
Sunlit window sill
Describing a sunlit window sill
Shades closed, for the bill
Referring to closed shades, possibly to save on energy costs
Was it always this quiet outside?
Questioning if the outside has always been this quiet
Salted sidewalks for no one to glide
Describing salted sidewalks devoid of activity
Maybe we'll just let it burn
Contemplating the option to let something burn, metaphorically
'Til it loses oxygen on its own
Continuing the burning metaphor, considering letting it fade naturally
Maybe we'll just give it time
Proposing the idea of giving a situation time instead of reacting explosively
No need to explode
Rejecting the need for explosive reactions, acknowledging the transient nature of things
These things come and go
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of experiences
Lost on your way
Expressing a feeling of being lost
No one prepped you for the day
Noting the lack of preparation for a particular day
That you'd have to say who you are
Highlighting the necessity of defining one's identity
Searching for a cause
Searching for a purpose or reason
Landed on the one
Settling on a particular cause or belief
Strap it on to your dress and go to war
Suggesting gearing up for a metaphorical war, possibly a personal struggle
Type it under your name and spread the word
Encouraging spreading a message under one's identity
Maybe we don't need to read
Questioning the need for reading or believing in anything
We don't need to believe in anything
Rejecting the necessity of belief, emphasizing the freedom from it
Who's got the time, we're all up in the night
Observing that everyone is active in the night, possibly indicating a collective insomnia
Traumatized, insane
Describing a state of trauma and insanity
Drift off again . . .
Drifting off again, possibly alluding to escaping from reality or finding solace in sleep
