How Come My Body
Echoes of Vanished Love: Unraveling the Poetic Bruises in 'How Come My Body'
Lyrics
How come my body
Questioning the reason for the speaker's current physical state.
Fits just like a bruise?
Comparing the fit of the body to a bruise, suggesting discomfort or pain.
Oh, you're gone to me
Expressing the absence of someone important, causing emotional pain.
How come my body
Repetition of the first line, emphasizing the confusion about the body's condition.
Speaks only to you?
Highlighting a unique communication or connection with the absent person.
Oh, you're gone to me
Reiteration of the emotional impact of the person's absence on the speaker's body.
How come my body
Reflecting on a lack of physical intimacy or connection since the person left.
Made no love at all?
Noticing a lack of passionate or loving experiences in the absence of the person.
Oh, you're gone to me
Reemphasizing the emotional void created by the person's departure.
(Oh, you're gone to me)
Repeating the sentiment of the person being gone and its impact on the speaker.
How come my body
Recurrence of the inquiry into the physical manifestation of the emotional distress.
Fits just like a bruise?
Reiterating the comparison of the body's condition to that of a bruise.
Oh, you're gone to me
Stressing the emotional loss and the lingering effects on the speaker.
How come my body
Questioning why the body responds with salted running blood, implying tears or pain.
Salts its running blood?
Describing a physiological reaction to the absence of the person.
Oh, you're gone to me
Expressing the careful or delicate nature of the body's response to the situation.
How come my body
Pondering the intentional and gentle way the body reacts to the emotional turmoil.
Falls so carefully?
Highlighting the careful, deliberate nature of the body's response to the absence.
Oh, you're gone to me
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person being gone.
