Spray Paint It Black
Sinking Hearts and Sparks of Love: A Hawthorne Heights Tale
Lyrics
I've got a troubled heart, it's beating down like the sun
I am experiencing emotional distress; my heart is troubled, and the feeling is intense like the heat of the sun.
I've wasted most of my life, I've spent these years on the run
I have wasted a significant portion of my life, spending these years in constant motion or escape.
These gray skies turn to night and everything feels like winter
The gloomy atmosphere intensifies, resembling winter, possibly reflecting a cold and desolate emotional state.
But sometimes I feel like nothing at all
Despite the bleak surroundings, there are moments when I feel emptiness or a lack of significance.
Spray paint it black if it blocks out the sun
Suggesting a desire to cover or hide the brightness of optimism or hope, using black spray paint as a metaphorical tool.
Burn it all down with the sparks from our love
Expressing a willingness to destroy everything with the passionate energy generated by love, symbolized by sparks.
When I look in your eyes I swear I just catch fire
Looking into your eyes ignites a powerful and intense emotional response, a feeling akin to catching fire.
Oh this damn troubled heart, it's got me sinking so low
Emphasizing the depth of emotional pain, the troubled heart is causing a profound descent or sinking feeling.
Spending 6 months apart, I know it's never enough
Being physically apart for an extended period (6 months), acknowledging that this time apart is insufficient.
Burn Burn Burn me down
Requesting to be consumed or overwhelmed by intense emotions, symbolized by burning.
To capsize or carry on or just slow it down
Contemplating whether to overturn the current situation, persevere, or slow down the pace of life.
Burn Burn Burn me down
Reiterating the desire to be engulfed by intense emotions and experiences, using burning as a metaphor.
For all the days I'm gone, this is your song
Dedicating this expression to someone during the times of absence, making it their song.
I know you'd never tell me you want someone more ordinary
Acknowledging that you may not express a desire for someone more ordinary, but it doesn't mean you enjoy being alone.
But that don't mean you like being alone
Highlighting the contradiction where not wanting someone ordinary doesn't eliminate the discomfort of loneliness.
And I know what it's like to have it slip through your hands
Understanding the feeling of losing something valuable and desperately trying to hold onto it.
So I shake shake shake like a spray paint can
Expressing the intense emotional shaking or turmoil, drawing a parallel to a shaking spray paint can.
And I'm trying to remember my way home
Struggling to find the way back to a familiar and comforting place or emotional state.
