My Unusual Friend
Echoes of Unconventional Bonds: My Unusual Friend
Lyrics
Back when I was first on my own
Reflecting on a past time when the speaker was alone.
Before I had me a love before playing in a band
Prior to experiencing romantic love and before joining a band.
At the tender under age
Describing a young age, possibly underage.
Not old enough to drink but the best age to get drunk
Being too young to legally drink but at an age ideal for recklessness.
You were all in the world that I had
The unusual friend was the speaker's main source of support.
Just me and my unusual friend
The speaker and the unusual friend were inseparable.
Playing songs to the magic box
Playing music, perhaps as a coping mechanism.
'Til through holes in the old rotten roof snowed the cold light of the morning
The environment was challenging, with a deteriorating roof.
Back when you, substitute for girls
The unusual friend served as a substitute for various aspects of life.
Surrogate for food and the passer of the time
Acting as a surrogate for companionship, sustenance, and time passing.
In the aching dehydrated dawn
Describing a difficult and thirsty dawn.
With my bruised up heart on the mend
The speaker's heart is healing after being bruised.
And I'd hold you in my hand
Physically holding the unusual friend, indicating its tangible presence.
Yeah I'll miss you my unusual friend
Expressing a sense of loss for the unusual friend.
I knew that if you stuck around
Anticipating a potential danger if the unusual friend remains.
One weird warm night you'd sneak in my room and kill me
Imagining a scenario where the friend might harm the speaker.
And then float out of my lungs on a breeze
Conveying the friend's departure through a metaphorical image.
But I'll miss you my unusual friend
Reiterating the sentiment of missing the unusual friend despite potential harm.
'Cause you were all in the world that I had
Highlighting the friend's significance as the speaker's entire world.
Yeah I'll miss you my unusual friend
Expressing the enduring sense of loss for the unusual friend.
