Moonburn
Moonburn: Unveiling the Silent Pain of Abandoned Smiles
Lyrics
See the words that you hung on my wall
Reflecting on the words or messages previously displayed prominently.
Took them off and I buried them all
Removing and concealing all traces of those words or messages.
Here at home where the risk was too high
Choosing safety at home over facing potential dangers elsewhere.
Have no memories left of that time
Having erased memories associated with that particular period.
I got the moonburn out in the night
Feeling the consequences of exposure to the moon's rays during the night.
Gonna stay inside I shiver with fright
Opting to remain indoors due to fear or discomfort.
I keep smiling
Maintaining a facade of happiness or positivity despite internal feelings.
But you never smile back at me
Not receiving reciprocal positive reactions or responses from another person.
Do the full on show with all my teeth
Putting on a show of a full, exaggerated smile.
Now my skin is burned and and oh I freeze
Experiencing skin damage from the sun or moon's rays and feeling cold simultaneously.
Cover me love make the blisters go away
Asking for love or care to alleviate emotional pain or distress.
Help me heal
Requesting help to recover or mend.
See the smiles in the family portrait
Observing smiles in a family photo.
Our revolver jaws out on display
Noticing intense or harsh expressions in the same photo.
That reunion's been ages ago
Highlighting the passage of a significant amount of time since a reunion.
Now we only come back for the show
Returning only for appearances or performances, not genuine connections.
Crimson on blue is all that I crave
Desiring a particular color combination intensely.
Numb from abandon I tremble with rage
Feeling emotionally numb but also experiencing inner turmoil.
I keep drinking
Continuously consuming alcohol.
But you never have a single drop
Noticing someone not consuming any alcohol despite personal indulgence.
Always reaching for the cream of the crop
Always striving for the best or highest quality.
And now my belly aches I need to stop
Experiencing physical discomfort due to excessive drinking and feeling the need to stop.
Tell me how
Requesting information or guidance.
Whisper right into my ear
Asking for a softly spoken piece of advice or insight.
Whisper loudly
Requesting a loud or clear expression of guidance or instruction.
