Papercut
Eternal Longing: A Melodic Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
My memory slips away
Expressing the fading nature of memory.
Convalescent in the graces of your hands
Feeling healed or recovering through the kindness or favor of someone.
Dragging your steal fingers down my skin
Describing a tactile experience of someone's fingers moving across the skin.
Leaving new wounds for you to live in
Creating emotional wounds that the person will carry within.
You’re the comfort to the cold
Characterizing the person as a source of warmth in a cold situation.
The flame that burns inside thawing out my bitter heart
Portraying the person as a passionate force that melts a bitter heart.
Drain the veins of heartache
Removing the emotional burdens or pain.
Paused forever into time.
Suggesting a timeless state of emotional pause.
Seconds turn to days as I replay how I saw you walk away
Reflecting on the passage of time and replaying a moment of the person walking away.
How I saw you walk away.
Reiterating the impact of witnessing the person leaving.
I’d take death by a thousand cuts
Expressing a willingness to endure immense pain rather than the pain of separation.
Over and over again
Emphasizing a willingness to endure the pain repeatedly.
Looking at you is like falling in love
Equating looking at the person to the feeling of falling in love.
Over and over again
Highlighting the repetitive nature of falling in love with the same person.
Peel back the layers of your compassion
Symbolizing the act of revealing the depths of the person's compassion.
Over and over again
Repeating the process of unveiling compassion.
Carried away in visions; picture frames
Being carried away in recurring visions or memories, akin to picture frames.
Over and over again
Reiterating the experience of being captivated by mental images.
The breeze that calms me is the air that you’re still breathing
Associating the calming breeze with the person's continued existence.
Ignites the fire in my chest
Describing the person as the catalyst for a passionate fire within.
Engulfs my limbs completely until there’s nothing left
Conveying a sense of being completely consumed by the person.
Seconds turn to days as I replay how I saw you walk away
Repeating the theme of time passing while replaying the moment of departure.
How I saw you walk away
Reiterating the emotional impact of witnessing the person walking away.
I’d take death by a thousand cuts
Expressing a preference for enduring severe pain over the pain of separation.
Over and over again
Emphasizing the willingness to endure such pain repeatedly.
Looking at you is like falling in love
Comparing the act of looking at the person to the sensation of falling in love.
Over and over again
Reiterating the cyclical nature of falling in love with the same person.
Peel back the layers of your compassion
Symbolizing the continuous revelation of the person's compassion.
Over and over again
Repeating the process of uncovering layers of compassion.
Carried away in visions; picture frames
Being captivated by recurring visions or memories, like looking at picture frames.
Over and over again
Reiterating the experience of being carried away in mental images.
A mark, a scar
Highlighting a lasting mark or scar as a reminder of an error or mistake.
To remind me
Stressing the significance of the mark or scar for self-reflection.
I was wrong
Acknowledging a realization of being wrong.
