Royal Crown Vs. Blue Duchess
Embers of Transformation: Unveiling the Depths in 'Royal Crown Vs. Blue Duchess'
Lyrics
Stare into my eyes
Inviting someone to make a deep connection by looking into their eyes.
Rake your nails across my skin
Encouraging a physical, intimate connection by suggesting scratching the skin.
I know the reason embers of you scatter as you breathe
Acknowledging the dissolution of a person ('you') represented by embers when they breathe.
(embers of you scatter when)
Reiterating the dispersal of 'you' as embers when breathing.
The life you knew disappears
Describing the disappearance of the familiar life.
In its wake with one skin
Referring to the aftermath of the vanished life, standing with a changed identity.
(in its wake your standing in)
Highlighting the transformation as if cutting a new life like paper.
As paper I cut your life
Continuing the imagery of cutting a life as if it were paper.
(and in paper i cut your life)
Encouraging following a predetermined path or fate.
Follow the outline that you traced
Reiterating the dispersal of 'you' as embers when following a predefined path.
(Embers of you scatter when)
Expressing the disappearance of a known life when following a predetermined path.
The life you knew disappears
Repeating the idea of standing in the wake of a vanished life with a changed identity.
In its wake you stand with one skin that you do not own
Describing the aftermath of the disappeared life, standing with an unfamiliar identity.
(in its wake your standing in..
Repeating the imagery of standing in the wake of a vanished life.
as these waves break, there is things i'll miss, things i miss,
Mentioning the emotional impact of the changes, expressing things missed as waves break.
and i'm feeling fake, with my whole life on your lips)
Feeling inauthentic, with life being defined by the other person's words.
The sky is closed today
Symbolizing a barrier or emotional distance by stating the sky is closed.
So here i sit, waiting
Waiting for a hidden word in the metaphorical clouds to provide direction.
For a word that is hidden in Clouds
Expressing a desire to return from the current emotional state.
To take me back from here
Hopeful that a smile will break a fever and change the emotional landscape.
(I'm hoping that this fever breaks when this smile spites my face)
Expressing a longing to be somewhere else.
Somewhere
Requesting to be taken back to a different place or time.
Take me back
Reiterating the desire to be taken back to a different place or time.
To a place
Yearning for a place where emotions won't be as intense.
I will not
Emphasizing a wish to escape the emotional impact of the other person.
Feel as you
Expressing a desire to be somewhere far away from the emotional influence of the other person.
Somewhere
Reiterating the desire to be somewhere else, emphasizing any location away from the other person.
Anywhere
Extending the desire to be far away from the emotional impact of the other person.
Far away from the offline of you
Expressing a wish to be offline or disconnected from the emotional influence of the other person.
